Eight Ate by Marvin Terban
This collection of original riddles is unlike any other because the main words in each answer sound exactly alike, but have different meanings.
Zany illustrations add to the fun and provide clues to the solutions. And the newly designed full-color cover makes the package even more appealing. So dig in--and see why you should play with your words (not with your food)!
- Homonym Riddles: Laugh out loud as you solve puzzles like "What is a smelly chicken?" (A foul fowl!) and "What is a weird street of shops?" (A bizarre bazaar!).
- Pun Book for Kids: Filled with clever puns and jokes that are perfect for sharing with friends, family, and classmates.
- Vocabulary Builder: Boosts reading confidence and introduces new words in a fun, unforgettable way, making it a favorite for parents and teachers.
- Learning to Read Fun: Zany, clue-filled illustrations on every page help young readers sound out answers and connect words to pictures.
