Calvin Gets the Last Word
by Margo Sorenson (Author) and Mike Deas (Illustrator)

Booktalk: The dictionary is the narrator!

Calvin’s dictionary is proud to be carried everywhere Calvin goes–the breakfast table, school, baseball practice, and home again–because Calvin is determined to find the perfect word to attach to his annoying older brother. The word isn’t exactly revenge, mayhem, bewilderment, subterfuge, pulverize, or even retaliation, though all those words are so close and very tempting.
