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.
