About the Author
Jane Wattenberg, aka Mrs. Mustard, is a photographer and illustrator who loves conundrums and is ever scanning name books in search of the perfect name. She lives high atop a San Francisco hill with her husband, chickens, goats, ducks and 10,000 bees. She is also the author of Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces and Mrs. Mustard's Beastly Babies, Henny-Penny and Never Cry Woof!
From the Back Cover
A game, a brainteaser, and a whimsical work of art, MRS. MUSTARD'S NAME GAMES is an engaging collection of clever rebus puzzles. Over one hundred names, from the common and uncommon to the famous and not-so-famous, are included, each fancifully illustrated in rebus to baffle and delight readers of all ages.
From the Inside Flap

A helpful solution page can be found at the back of the book, along with a "who's who" of famous names. A game, a brainteaser, and a whimsical work of art, MRS. MUSTARD'S NAME GAMES will baffle and delight readers of all ages!
Reviews
Grade 5-8-These rebus puzzles associated with common names and famous people are similar to those used on the TV game show Concentration, featuring drawings and individual letters as clues. Most of the puzzles are quite easy to solve, but some are indecipherable. Thankfully, an answer key is provided. The intended audience probably won't have heard of many of the individuals, such as Hart Crane, Louise Nevelson, and Liliuokalani. A "Who's Who" section provides birthdates and one-line biographies for the famous figures, but is useless in helping to solve the actual puzzles. Wattenberg's black-line drawings are unattractive, and the games are not particularly fun. As an example of how bad they can be, the rebus for Martin Lurther King, Jr. consists in the letter M, followed by the letter L, followed by a drawing of a man wearing a crown. Skip this one.
