Nice idea for a series. A little bit boring. My kids did not want to reread it.

My kids liked this book. The definition was sort of lost to them but it was nice being able to explain it. I think it would be kind of cool to write more books like this with different cartoon characters where each person has their own word that is their favorite. Maybe a group of friends in a book that share favorite words?

A beautiful and delightful children's book. I hope this becomes a series, with a different character with a different favorite word for each letter of the alphabet. I look forward to buying this book to share with my family and friends!

Text alternates with paintings as a little girl—seemingly too little to know a word like that—tells of how she wishes her friends would be nicer to her, even if it takes arcane magic.
The poor dog is wondering what she’s doing with his bones.
It’s definitely cute and worthwhile, but I’m not sure the target audience would learn the actual meaning of the word through this. It’s not exactly spelled out, and seems to be used for many different things throughout.

I like the idea of this book, but I wish it had been executed a little differently. It would be nice if at some point the definition of the word were given (or at least better clues). I think it could be a fun series if there were more characters, each with a favorite word.

I didn't understand the point of this book. Maybe some people would find it hilarious. I didn't.

I understand that “Arcane” is trying to increase children’s vocabulary, but it should have come right out and said what it means, like Fancy Nancy does.
