The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus
Beautiful....This is a wonderful book about Peter Mark Roget who grew up to create Roget's Thesaurus. What I loved is how the book traced back to Peter's childhood and his fascination with lists and words. Then it went through his adult life and how the thesaurus came to be. Of course, Melissa Sweet's illustrations are, as always, the icing on the cake. So much to see and with such purpose and homage to Roget. Very well done.
