I read this so long ago, I need to revisit it! An endearing story of a girl with Asperger's and an obsession with homonyms searches for her lost dog in a storm.

To be honest, I love this whole series. I love the adorable artwork. And how it introduces homophones. They‘re all so clever, and I love sharing them with my nibling.

pick4 ⭐Step into reading preschool and kindergarten 1999.
It is an older volume but it‘s all about how the same word can have two different meanings. All the pages are similar to “the yak yakking” meaning the animal talking. “The bear bearing” meaning the bear with no clothes. While some kids may not initially get it without a dictionary, it is a great way of showing how multiple words can mean multiple things.
#temptingtitles #withapun. Not sure if this counts as a pun, but definitely has word play. MC has Asperger‘s and is obsessed with anagrams. A very emotional MG read 💙

Rose is obsessed with homonyms - they calm her. Not everyone understands her obsessions, special rules and how she‘s different from others.

pickWho would have thought that our beloved Herman Munster aka vintage actor extraordinaire Fred Gwynne wrote and illustrated 9 children‘s books! Fred depicts how children misinterpret everyday phrases with his ingenious play on words and literal meanings. What a hoot! Loved Fred‘s memorable characters and so happy to discover that he was a creative author as well.
