BOOK SYNOPSIS
“If horns played cool music, and pants were just clothes....”
Horn, pants, nails, trunk, pitcher — all words that can mean more than one thing. Arlene Alda has put together words and images in a delightful and witty book of photographs as inviting as a pair of juicy pears. Did You Say Pears? takes a playful and very clever look at words that sound the same but have different meanings. Young readers will love to hone their budding sense of language with the deceptively simple text and the irresistible photographs that offer a first taste of the richness of words. A useful information page explaining the wordplay is included.
Arlene Alda’s photographs challenge the reader to look and look again in this book that is bound to be a family favorite.
BOOK REVIEWS
Praise for The Book of ZZZs:
...delightful... these photos will warm your heart.
Todays Parent
this gentle parade of photographs would make a lovely inducement to slumber.
The Globe and Mail
Praise for 97 Orchard Street, New York:
Aldas contemporary photos add a beautiful artistic note. The flavor of life on Orchard Street from the end of the nineteenth century through the 1930s can be tasted here.
