I got it through our library and loved it so much I bought it before I even had to return the library book!

Every time we share one or two with a friend's, the kids keep requesting specific poems until we've shared half the book! I LOVE this book.

It was written to address the sad trend that children no longer know the names of natural plants and animals that live in the world around them. I have noticed this myself. For example, my students refer to all flowers as roses. The don't distinguish between an actual rose and a daisy or a tulip or a daffodil. This book is BEAUTIFUL. The watercolor illustrations are laced with gold and cunningly wrought. It is sort of an alphabet book. Each entry has a nature word, such as "acorn", followed by an acrostic poem and then a lovely painting. In between are pages of context illustrations with lost letters spread about. I love this book! (Some notes: It is larger and heavier than I expected, approximately 11" by 15". It is more of a coffee table book than a children's bedtime story. Not all letters of the alphabet are illustrated. I felt sorry for some of them. The authors are from the UK and the animals chosen reflect that to a small degree.) ## Frequently Bought Together - The Lost Words - The Lost Spells - The Unwinding: and other dreamings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/51345530-the-lost-words](https://www.desertcart.at/products/51345530-the-lost-words) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
