Do you know Big Words?
Do your kids?
Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell have teamed up again to write Big Words for Little People, a Big Book to help kids learn Big Words.
With grown-up words like cooperate, respect, patience and considerate, a big, boisterous and zany family celebrates the power of language and discovers that words—big or little—are the bridge that connects us all.
Head to Jamie Lee Curtis’s website to play the Big Words Spelling Game, learn more about her new book (and the other books listed below), download teaching guides, and play games with the kids.
This is Curtis’s eight book.
- Today I Feel Silly: And Other Moods That Make My Day
- Is There Really a Human Race?
- It’s Hard to Be Five: Learning How to Work My Control Panel
- Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born
- When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old’s Memoir of Her Youth
- I’m Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem
- Where Do Balloons Go? An Uplifting Mystery

Jamie Lee is a gifted writer. Whenever I read any of her books, I get the sense that I’m reading them through the eyes of a child.
I don’t know how she does, but the tone of her books are juvenile and grown-up all at the same time.
She’s funny. She’s witty. She’s talented.
Waiting for her new releases is like waiting for Christmas!
