This is the eighth hilarious picture book by the #1 New York Times bestselling teams of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell and they help out little people to learn communicate words in a big person’s world through this book.
The genre of Big Words for Little People is realistic fiction with illusion of reality. Events in this book could happen in real world, characters seem real and also contemporary setting. The setting in Big Words for Little People is briefly presented with words and is detailed in the illustrations with a narrative. This contemporary setting is with children who are very wild in one family and these kids start to learn words of communicate in a big person’s worlds. With the very first page, we as readers can realize that characters such as children of a family in this book will go wild. The theme, which is easily identified and understood by young readers, is established by the text and extended by the illustrations. Young readers can see the excitement to learn “big words” and it is able to be compared to their ordinary life. The sequence of action in Big Words for Little People is straight forward, clear and logical. This plot brings young readers’ emotions and sympathy. Curtis generally selects one point of view and sticks with it throughout the story. And its point of view allows readers to know a great deal about what all the characters are thinking and doing. Artistically, all of illustrations are colorful. Its composition is very detailed; especially, arts and key words that an author is focused on are well-balanced. As this family in the book has many children, it is described such as wild enough in each piece of art works. I liked each person has his/her own expression on face also.

In this delightful book, Curtis explains to students through the usage of excellently written poetry the meanings of words that are all grown up. The 22 words are used, and they are not easy for 4-8 age children to learn, but a team of Curtis and Cornell performed their task to explain these words seem easily. It is also good point that the illustrations perfectly support the text, and the text supports actually explaining the meanings of the word rather than defining them.

What do people think of celebrity authors?
I really admire celebrity authors. I see them as not just showing off their beauty and talent through their celebrity status, but expressing themselves so much more within their writing and thoughts. I'm sure there's a lot of controversy about the quality of books written by celebrity authors and that their publication has more to do with their celebrity status than with their talent as writers. There aren't that many celebrity authors out there for children's books, which just shows there are only a few celebrities that feel they should be role models for children and actually wanted to try hard in publishing a good children's book. There's a big list of celebrity authors for a variety of different genre books and I say good for them!
