MY REVIEW
Did you or your children ever make up words? My children never did but my younger sister was great at this. When she grew up she was very artistic and creative. It does take a lot of creativity to live like this.
Goobletygok is a book that applauds a child’s ability to create. The little boy (Freddy) and his grandfather (Poppy) are having a nice time visiting one another. As they make up words, the sound of the words sounded funny, which made Freddy want to create more silly words.
This book is unique and can serve as a spark for any child. Maybe they’ve never thought about making up words. This book may encourage a child to be more creative in other ways, too.
