Blooms Bouquet of Imaginary Words by Jeffrey Bloom
In Bloom's Bouquet, words blossom. You know what a pigeon is, but what is a pugeon? An overweight bird, of course. Change one letter of destination and you get a place where dirt ends up: dustination. If you are late to ballet class, you are leotardy. The author of a horror film is a scareenwriter.The 599 new words in Bloom's Bouquet are organized into such categories as Plumpkins & Grimlets (Food and Drink), Froshbite & Frollicles (Medicine), and Fiberals & Reapublicans (Politics). Fun to browse through and hilarious to share aloud, the imaginary but oh-so-meaningful words in Bloom's Bouquet are a celebration of the endless elasticity of the English language. This elegant little package, featuring witty, original line-art throughout, is an enticing impulse purchase or the perfect stocking stuffer gift for lovers of word games.
