O knihe
This is a true story. This story is fun. "The Shhh Letters" is an interesting, historical, and informative tour of our English dictionary. Did you know that most of the words in the English dictionary are borrowed from Latin? People that speak Latin live in Spain, France, Romania, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, and even Argentina. A lot of State motos are in Latin. Like South Carolina. "Dum Spiro Spero" which means "While I Breathe, I Hope." More than half of all our English words have Greek or Latin beginnings. When talking about science and technology, almost all the words come from Latin or Greek. Have you ever wondered about why some WORDS have LETTERS that are silent? like when "C" follows the letter "S" there are a bunch like science, scissors, scent, ascent, crescent, descent, descend, disciple, scene, obscene, fluorescent, abscess, and fascinate. And like the "C" in Yacht or the "L" in chalk? Well, there is a whole alphabet full of words just for you! Combined with the talents of her Grandfathers graphics art and imagination, Savannah Lee's characters come alive. To the delight of young and old, Follow other books in the Savannah Lee series with "The Hoot Tree", deep in the Jungle with "Tiger and the Butterfly", and an interesting, historical, and informative tour of New York City with "Athaliah Tours NYC".
