Bibliophile

One of my students got it yesterday.  I was giving them the Greek and Latin root words to go with their prefixes and suffixes we have already learned (or mostly learned).  One of the first ones I went over was "bibli, biblio" and asked what it meant.  A couple of girls said book.  Yay!  Then one of the girls said "bibliophile" and said what it meant.  One of the other roots I gave them was "phil, philo."  One of the boys said "hey, bibliophile!"  It was like DING DING DING.  Thank you.
