Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A little bit linguistic history, a little bit American Revolution history, and all around sassy telling of Noah Webster's work. This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley. Aaaadorable. I love the illustrations, they're so lively and old-timey. I love that Noah Webster himself left editorial comments throughout, presumably to make sure Tracy Maurer got everything right. I especially love this bit: As he once said, "I began life...full of confidence in my own opinions." I also love that he was a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist. And I'm a huge fan of some of his spelling changes that didn't quite catch on, like riter and soop! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
