Teresa Monachino

This a slight book, but so pleasing to hold. The contents consist of clever typographic illustrations of a variety of word play. I've put my copy in the guest bathroom, as it is exactly the kind of book which invites both a rapid flip through and a close study of a single page.

This book:
- paints the picture of how critical language is to all aspects of life (how helping kids master language skills is incredibly important);
- gives logical, sequential explanations of how kids learn and what gets in the way of learning;
- has a prescription of ten practical, specific things to do at the end of each chapter, many of which have to do with developing a love for wordplay.
