Description
What's a list-making boy to do when he can't think of just the right word? Peter Mark Roget made lists, organizing them by meaning—starting at age 8. Follow the life and journeys of this highly capable and inventive man who believed in the power of words and invented the thesaurus (which means treasure house and not dinosaur). Enhancing the engaging biographical storyline are myriads of vibrant collage illustrations created from watercolor and mixed media. Strewn throughout are enough words to go on your own vocabulary and synonym hunt (See if you can find it relisted on the book's end sheets). At the end, you'll find his life timeline is interwoven with concurrent world events and discoveries, a selected bibliography, as well as an additional reading list and works cited page. Winner of the 2015 Caldecott Honor and Robert Sibert medals. 42 pgs, hc. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of Right Word Roget and His Thesaurus
"Words, Peter learned, were powerful things. And when he put them in long, neat rows, he felt as if the world itself clicked into order."
For shy young Peter Mark Roget, books were the best companions and it wasn't long before Peter began writing his own book. But he didn't write stories; he wrote lists. Peter took his love for words and used it to organize his ideas and find exactly the right word to express just what he thought. His lists grew and grew, eventually turning into one of the most important reference books of all time.
This book is an inviting, visually engrossing portrayal of Peter Mark Roget and the creation of the thesaurus. Readers of all ages will marvel at Roget's life, depicted through lyrical text and brilliantly detailed illustrations. This elegant book celebrates the joy of learning and the power of words.
