Increasing word power sounds like one of those dreary chores best palmed off on somebody else. ´The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder, ´ the first in Fall Media´s series of irreverent, educational books, makes the activity not only endurable but irresistible. The authors use classic dissing and one-upmanship to slyly introduce young readers to a wide range of words. A typical entry, for ´emaciated,´ first presents the word as a joke (´Yo momma´s so ´emaciated, ´ she can hula hoop in a fruit loop.´). The pronunciation is then given, along with a detailed, humor-inflected definition (´too skinny . . . skeletal´) that invokes pop culture phenomena like supermodels, the Olson twins, Gollum from ´Lord of the Rings, ´ and Ally McBeal. The book ties neatly into the ´Yo Momma´ phenomenon seen in recent MTV shows as well as books and games, and is an ideal gift choice for parents and educators looking to give young people a book they´ll enjoy and share.
