Description
Get ready to laugh out loud at some of the most ridiculous - and hilarious - puns you’ve heard, from poet extraordinaire, Tricia Torrible!
Spring and Summer
were no fun at all,
but Humpty Dumpty
had a great Fall.
Packed with witty humor, this clever mix of poetry and puns features everything from animals and beloved nursery rhyme characters to outer space and favorite sports. Each poem contains at least one word or phrase with a double meaning, which will not only make children (and adults!) laugh out loud, but also provides a fun lesson on homonyms. The short poems, the lovely art, and the groan-worthy punchlines will leave readers begging for “just one more.”
This collection has something for everyone, with more than thirty poems featuring pitch-perfect rhyme and varying length. With its additional back matter information about puns along with its vibrant illustrations, Torrible Puns will be a book that children, teachers, librarians and parents reach for over and over again. Perfect for storytime, bedtime, or anytime!
