Bold, bright acrylics fill the pages of this book and help illustrate the difference between a homonym and a homophone. After explaining the meaning of the term, colorful words and supportive illustrations convey the meaning in a series of simple sentences. A dog floating down a tree-lined river in a boat describes the homonym, "you could bark at the bark while you coast down the coast". A scene in which a bee is swatted by a shoe describes the homophone is this way: " He waved his shoe to shoo away the pesky bug". Complete with a Fun With section with sample activities to extend the text as well as a glossary and index this would be a useful addition to a classroom library or it may be a supplemental tool to use with children learning English as a second language.
