And when he put them in long, neat rows, he felt as if the world itself clicked into order.\nFor 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.\nPeter 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.\nThe Right Word is an inviting, visually engrossing portrayal of Peter Mark Roget and the creation of the thesaurus. Jen Bryant’s lyrical text and brilliantly detailed mixed media illustrations from Caldecott Honor-winning artist Melissa Sweet celebrate the joy of learning and the power of words.\nOther honors\nParents' Choice Foundation Parents’ Choice Award Gold Winner\nALA Notable Children’s Books\nJunior Library Guild Selection\nKirkus Prize for Young Readers' Literature Finalist\nNotable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People\nSociety of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Golden Kite Award\nNational Council of Teachers of English Orbis Pictus Honor\nBank Street College Best Children's Books of the Year\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802853854\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0802853854.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bryant, Jen|Sweet, Melissa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
