Children love to tell jokes to parents, friends, and other family members. A pun is a figure of speech that uses similar-sounding words or exploits multiple meanings of a term. Written by Wolf Cub Chlo, the first section of this easy-to-read book provides a question-and-answer style with several examples of puns. The second section of this children’s picture book teaches children—and their parents—how to come up with a pun by using a similar-sounding word or phrase. Children love a good pun or joke that tickles your 'punny bone. Puns will keep kids entertained ... Puns can also serve as a lesson in spelling since puns often use similar-sounding words that have a different spelling. Knight and night sound the same but have very distinct spellings and different meanings. What do you call a knight who is afraid to fight? Sir Render. Oh, surrender. A pun makes people think of what that word should be or how it should be spelled. I think teachers will benefit from this book by giving children some examples of puns and how to make them up. Often, puns start with a question: What do baseball players eat on? Home plates!"- Readers favorite review, 5 stars
