Really neat book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
When my precocious kindergartner and I (being quite the opposite myself) seemed continually to be reminding ourselves about the difference between homonyms and homophones, I happened upon this book. It's a really neat book. It's great fun because of the simple pictures and homophones (and homonyms of course), and it helped with spelling, understanding, and anticipating homophones/grams/nyms or whatever they are called these days. I've given this book as a gift to K/1st-graders often.
Kids learn about the double meaning of words and enjoy a format which is fun to think about
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Very early picturebook readers will relish large, page-sized color photos paired with simple one-line statements and a zany outlook inviting kids to think about words. From animal 'pants' to trunks, pitchers, glasses and more, kids learn about the double meaning of words and enjoy a format which is fun to think about. Even parents will find it thought-provoking and filled with insights into language's oddities.
