Such a fun-sounding read – I think my family started making up names due to pronunciation difficulties – so Vicki became Kiki and so on…and so now grandparents and kids alike have their own family name in addition to their official one.
This book sounds like fun. My granddaughter started making up words when her little sister was learning to talk. She would have me repeat them. With this book/game maybe now we can give those words meaning.
This book sounds like a fun book that zay would want to play making up words

Sounds like a cute book!
It’s fun to invent words like goobletygok. It’s similar sounding to gobbletegook which is garbled, meaningless language. It reminds me of the words we tried to use in playing Scrabble. My 3 of my grandkids ages 3 to 5 would enjoy this book of fun words and inventive drawings.
I would love to win this book for my grandchildren. The book looks like a lot of fun.
