Have you ever hear a joke, a pun, or just a strange statement and said, ""Wait, what?"" This little book features funny and fanciful ideas designed to spark conversation and get your brain thinking deeply about language, idioms, and the world we live in. Each ""Wait, what?"" statement or question is illustrated by a cute kawaii style image to add to the fun. Sample pages include: If you sweat in a sweater, are you the sweater? and Ice skating is just walking in cursive. Great for dinnertime conversation, getting teens and older kids to engage, or sparking thought in a gifted young child, this book is a weird and wonderful look at language.

Reviews

Gr 2-4-What appears to be a simple book of puns and wordplay may have children's brains turning cartwheels, and while the assortment is not organized in any discernible way, emerging readers will enjoy being "in" on the jokes. The unconventional illustrations help with meaning; a hand that emulates "tiptoeing" is accompanied by the sentence, "Your fingers have fingertips, but your toes don't have toe tips, yet you can tiptoe, not tip finger." The puns are based on some odd clarifications: "You don't hit the wall, you hit the paint on it," and "If you clean a vacuum, you become a vacuum cleaner." Funny. VERDICT For children who love joke books, this one has a little more meat, and is a suitable purchase for beginning reader shelves.-Amy Lukich, Tinley Park P.L., ILα(c) Copyright 2011.
