About This Book
Book Details
A picture book about homonyms starring a silly cast of animal athletes.
What is a homonym? It's a word that has different meanings but is always spelled the same.
This informative book, set at a sporting event, includes a BAT who can BAT! A karate-chopping bulldog who is tough enough to BREAK five boards without taking a BREAK, and a STEER who tried to STEER his skateboard, but accidentally fell into a well—and that’s just for starters.
The clever wordplay from Gene Barretta introduces children to the richness of language through homonyms.

In The News
"Homonym pairs describe the action as an array of unlikely animals play sports with varying degrees of success and hilarity. . . Barretta is a master of wordplay. . . Youngsters will laugh out loud while they are unconsciously, painlessly learning."-Kirkus Reviews
"Sports and animals are perennially popular, and Barretta uses them as the common denominator in this collection of illustrated homonyms. . . . This is a fundamental purchase for school libraries and public libraries with heavy educator usage."--School Library Journal
