| Description: |

| Synopsis: |
In" Bloom s Bouquet," words blossom. You know what a pigeon is, but what is a pugeon ? An overweight bird, of course. Change one letter of destination and you get a place where dirt ends up: dustination. If you are late to ballet class, you are leotardy. The author of a horror film is a scareenwriter. The 599 new words in "Bloom s Bouquet" are organized into such categories as Plumpkins & Grimlets (Food and Drink), Froshbite & Frollicles (Medicine), and Fiberals & Reapublicans (Politics). Fun to browse through and hilarious to share aloud, the imaginary but oh-so-meaningful words in Bloom s Bouquet are a celebration of the endless elasticity of the English language. This elegant little package, featuring witty, original line-art throughout, is an enticing impulse purchase or the perfect stocking stuffer gift for lovers of word games. Jeffrey Bloom is a writer. Carole Bloom s early careers in music and television led to her first published book, Musical Houses. A psychotherapist, she is the founder of Power Therapy and has a private practice in Studio City, California, where she and Jeffrey live. Husband and wife have worked together creatively, but this is their first literary collaboration." |
