Double-Talk: Word Sense & Nonsense invites children to explore
homophones and shows them that words can be fun. Pairs of deliberately
ambiguous words are presented in rhyming verse and illustrations across
thirteen double-page spreads. On each spread, the words may sound the
same, but they are used to describe two very different images. Readers
must study the art to see how the words relate to the pictures. Serious
or silly? Sense or nonsense? Either way, the readers will learn to study
words more carefully. With the simple surprises spelled out in the
illustrations, the I-get-it! smile grows into a full-body giggle. This
laughter-inducing book is ideal for young readers and the adults that
love them. Picture book-ages 0-6.
