Palindromania! by Jon Agee
The ultimate celebration for the palindromic year 2002
What exactly is palindromania? It's the inability to see the word STRAW without thinking WARTS. It's the powerful impulse to reverse the name OPRAH to make it HARPO. It's the uncontrollable urge to buy A TOYOTA. It's an obsession with words and phrases that read exactly the same forwards and backwards. And now, in his most entertaining and extensive volume, Jon Agee, the prime purveyor of palindromes, has taken this unique word phenomenon to a whole new level. Featuring themed sections, comic-strip-style stories, and even lengthy monologues, Agee's collection of over 160 familiar and unfamiliar palindromes paired with all-new masterly cartoons is a treasure for word-lovers young and old.
Palindromania is a 2003 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
Jon Agee is the author/illustrator of numerous acclaimed children's books, including Fantastic, Milo's Hat Trick, The Amazing Painting of Felix Clousseau, and, of course, the original edition of Little Santa. He's also the author of a number of successful wordplay books, including Go Hang a Salami!, the IRA-CBC Children's Choice palindrome book. He now lives in San Francisco with his wife, Audrey, and their Havanese puppy, Charlotte, as a full-time author.
