(3) K-3 A mom takes her son to Coney Island for a birthday surprise. Die-cut holes in the pages offer another surprise: each flip of the page reveals oronyms and a clever picture switch: e.g., "An Ice Man" becomes "A Nice Man" while balloons become ice-cream scoops. Graphic illustrations in red-orange, teal, gold, brown, and ivory recreate a retro amusement park/boardwalk setting.
