Reviews

“With a simple, silly rhyme and wild cartoon scenarios of animal characters in action, this picture book in the Words Are Categorical™ series shows and tells the meanings of synonyms. With the slapstick art enlivening things even more, this will be a fun read-aloud, and kids will certainily get the message that words are not boring.” (Booklist)

“… this excellent text goes a long way toward establishing the importance of synonyms.”Ā (School Library Journal)
