The Magic Word Book

The Magic Word Book

Michael Frith, New York, New York, 1973

Description

With special paper pop-ups the book demonstrated how changing only one letter in a word can change the world completely. Before our eyes, flying rugs become flying rags; magic lamps become magic lumps. It’s a book especially developed for children who are just beginning to break the code of written language.
