Dictionary Don knows thousands of words, but lately none of them describes how forgotten he feels.  Stuck on the dusty library shelf where Bradley once rested, Don is expressive, alphabetical, and absolutely convinced he is obsolete. Then strange lunchtime antics, curious page-turners, and unexpected visitors begin to disturb his quiet corner of the library. Don starts to suspect that even the most overlooked book might have a bigger role than he ever imagined.
This warm and humorous chapter book celebrates confidence, creativity, and the joy of discovering your purpose, all told through the eyes of a dictionary with very strong opinions. Approximate length: 5, 000 words.
