Vocabulary

DADDY: Before bedtime the other night, we were reading JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. We came across a couple words you didn't know, so I thought, "What the heck? Why not teach them to you?"

Ramshackle was the first word.

James lives in a ramshackle house on top of the hill. So I explained the word and had you go find a ramshackle book from our shelf. You brought back the old story book my mommy used to read to me when I was a little boy.

Spectacles was the other word.

We talked about Guffaw and how he wears glasses >>> spectacles. You said next time you saw him you'd try to say something about his spectacles.
