Horn Book Review

Each book opens with a brief definition of the focal word type, then provides occasionally substantive but often bland sample sentences with the relevant words called out in bold (e.g., "I take a ride in a plain plane" in Homophones). Bright, relevant stock photos accompany the texts and occasionally aid in decoding. There are six other fall 2016 books in this series. Reading list. [Review covers the following Playing with Words titles: Cupcakes for My Birthday, I See the Sea, Mom, Pop, and Tot, Doctor by Day, Ninja by Night, In and Out, and Smelly, Stinky Skunk.] (c) Copyright 2017.
