For easy identification, each pair of homonyms or homophones appears in color, and the comical cats help bring each idea to the fore. A bat cannot bat, a stair cannot stare : more about homonyms and homophones turns traditional grammar lessons on end! Read and reread this book aloud and delight in the sense--and nonsense--of words.
