Family life is full of silly fun. Some evening, when things have gone off the rails at your house, try reading something silly like Six Sheep Sip Thick Shakes, and Other Tricky Tongue Twisters. (Because silly is always better than the other way...)
And then, after a good night's sleep, why not make up your own? At the back of the book we found a page titled "Make Your Own Tongue Twisters" -- so we did.
We enjoy Cleary's whole series, Words are CATegorical, for an entertaining and informative look at language. Some of his titles include:
Dearly, Nearly, Insincerely: What is an Adverb?
How Much Can a Bare Bear Bear?: What are Homonyms and Homophones?
Cool! Whoa! Ah and Oh!: What is an Interjection?
I'm just discovering he has a website that looks like it might be fun to check out! And I notice his official title is Word Nerd -- I knew I liked that guy.
