Homophones

Homophones: An Illustrated Dictionary of 803 common and unusual pairs, trios, and quads of words with different meanings and spelling that sound alike. Three cartoon characters, Kenia the Lynx, Oscar the Tapir, and Sid the Hare, illustrate the meanings of hundreds of homophones in a humorous and endearing way. Children given review copies sat themselves down and immersed themselves in the antics of the anthropomorphic animals relating easily to both the drawings and text. Adults enjoyed solving the puzzle of which homophone went with which picture. Students of all ages and backgrounds benefit from building on their existing vocabulary and expanding it a hundred times while having fun in the process.
