Illustrated by
Dave Whamond.
In this energetic interactive book, readers learn how words are connected and can transform into others by changing one letter at a time ("A house might become a mouse / and then a moose"). The changed letter is highlighted in red in each word ladder; cartoonlike illustrations cleverly and comically depict the transformations. Additional activities are appended. A useful, engaging classroom tool.
