Ooooooooo, You Said a Bad Wooord! (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

We live in a time where F-bombs are rampantly and publicly exploding around us without warning leaving in their aftermath young ears and old ears alike ringing from the shockwave of their barrage. We live in a time where, on television, English is rapidly being replaced by a new language called "Bleep!" because, hardly a phrase is being spoken these days without the needed intervention of the censor. Do you feel that you went to bed one night and awoke to a world that had exchanged common courtesy for the shock value of indiscriminate foul language? What is worse, do you sometimes slip and blurt out language that you immediately regret and have to apologize for? If this behavior annoys or offends you, there is hope. Rodney and Eunice Adams' book, Oooooooo, You Said A Bad Wooord-How A Group Of Young People Outgrew 'Adult Language' lovingly and tactfully tells the story of a group of inquisitive fourth and fifth graders who address "bad words" head-on, debate what bad words are, why they are bad, and ultimately outgrow "adult language". Read this book with your children, discuss it with your friends, and together let's clean up our act, and make a better world by word of mouth.
