best illustrator

Gene Barretta captures the heart of children with his illustrations and words. I love ALL of his books!

Gene won us over again with this one!!!

My children absolutely love Gene's latest creation. It was great to see their little minds work to figure out the meaning of the homophones. Great job Gene. Can't wait till your next book so that we can add another one of your works to our collection.

Learning Grammar is fun!

My precocious 5 year-year-old grandson requested this book after he wrote to Santa Claus as Deer Santa. When his mother explained it should be Dear Santa, Evan answered, "Well the letter is for the reindeer too!" This book given as a gift explained the difference not just of the dear/deer, but many other homophones as well. Evan really liked the book.

Clever Aunt Ant has just moved to the zoo. Speaking in homophones, she describes the quirky animal behavior she sees. There?s the MOOSE who loved MOUSSE and ATE EIGHT bowls, and the WHALE who was ALLOWED to WAIL ALOUD?and that?s just for starters.

This playful picture book introduces children to the richness of language through the concept of homophones. A romp through the zoo has never been so eye-opening.
