Every child in America should have a Mrs Wordsmith product because they teach the most important words. Feedback from our focus groups in New York around child engagement was very positive. Teachers even said the kids were so excited it was hard to keep the class under control! That’s Hollywood style literacy for you.

We got our copy of the @mrsWOfficial Storyteller's Illustrated Dictionary last week and it is FREAKING AWESOME. Highly recommend. Super fun to just look at the illustrations with my son and try new words on for size! Brilliant stuff. Keep it comin'!

Backed by research
Humans are storytelling creatures. It's how we make sense of the world. Children naturally tell stories, but when words fail them, they become stuck, often frustrated.
Traditional dictionaries don't help, either. Finding and comprehending the right information can be tricky. Applying that information is harder still. Plus, they're boring!
We wanted to create a dictionary that was both easy to navigate and inspiring. One that was based on how language is actually used, without the confusing symbols. A high ratio of hilarious illustrations to words is the icing on the cake, and makes the Storyteller's Illustrated Dictionary a breeze for even the most reluctant learners.
