Book Overview

"If horns played cool music, and pants were just clothes...." Horn, pants, nails, trunk, pitcher -- all words that can mean more than one thing. Arlene Alda has put together words and images in a delightful and witty book of photographs as inviting as a pair of juicy pears. Did You Say Pears? takes a playful and very clever look at words that sound the same but have different meanings. Young readers will love to hone their budding sense of language with the deceptively simple text and the irresistible photographs that offer a first taste of the richness of words. A useful information page explaining the wordplay is included. Arlene Alda's photographs challenge the reader to look and look again in this book that is bound to be a family favorite. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Really neat book

When my precocious kindergartner and I (being quite the opposite myself) seemed continually to be reminding ourselves about the difference between homonyms and homophones, I happened upon this book. It's a really neat book. It's great fun because of the simple pictures and homophones (and homonyms of course), and it helped with spelling, understanding, and anticipating homophones/grams/nyms or whatever they are called these...

Kids learn about the double meaning of words and enjoy a format which is fun to think about

Very early picturebook readers will relish large, page-sized color photos paired with simple one-line statements and a zany outlook inviting kids to think about words. From animal 'pants' to trunks, pitchers, glasses and more, kids learn about the double meaning of words and enjoy a format which is fun to think about. Even parents will find it thought-provoking and filled with insights into language's oddities.
