A Bat Cannot Bat, a Stair Cannot Stare: More About Homonyms and Homophones

32 pp. | Millbrook | August, 2014 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-9032-9 $16.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4677-4768-4
(4) K-3 Words Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Martin Goneau. Colorful cats grin in silly scenes to illustrate homonyms and homophones. Jaunty verse demonstrates how the same word can have different meanings in different contexts (homonyms) and how words sounding the same can have different spellings and meanings (homophones). Word pairs are highlighted in color for clarity. The cartooned antics have a hyperactive quality, but the rhyming storybook form makes the language lesson enjoyable.
