Summary:
The author has created and illustrated humorous palindromes, or phrases that read the same backward and forward.
Teaching Ideas:
After checking out whether the palindromes do indeed read backward, students can brainstorm their own examples. The book provides a humorous introduction to language study of many kinds--patterns in words, sound patterns, and other kinds of word play like tongue twisters.
