G is for Gossamer

Because we are certain our darling little children can mutter something more interesting than "cat" and "light."

For all you language lovers out there, we give you the long-awaited, long-anticipated: G is for Gossamer--an elegant, enchanting, and refined ABC book for the budding intelligentsia! A celebration of the beauty of the English language, introducing little ones to sophisticated words through whimsical, magical images. For parents who love beautiful words and enjoy exposing your little ones to the finer things in life early on--this book is for you!

Miss Whitaker, our esteemed author, guesses that even most adults will learn a new word or two along their children. (Definitions are included.) She even says "surely your darling little daughter can mutter something more interesting than cat and light" and while we tend to agree, we wouldn't have said it quite like that. (Thank heavens she has only curated the list and not narrated anything.)

Makes for a perfect baby gift, and children up to the age of 7 will enjoy learning these new fancy words. Just wait until you hear your child say "but mama, look at that queue!," instead of whining about the line at the supermarket. Oh dear, if this kitschy, delightful extravagance of a book is wrong, we don't want to be right.
