This book echoes the one I did yesterday, <a href="http://christiewrightwild.blogspot.com/2015/02/pb-1414-in-2015-day-one-with-vivian.html" rel="nofollow">Once Upon a Twice</a>. It also reminds me of an oldie, Rain Makes Applesauce. My kids and I quoted lines from that book lots of times and made up stuff all the time. Not all "Word Play" books are nonsense though. Some are simply lyrical in nature, or have lots of puns. Great example!!! (And of course, Word Play is my personal favorite element!)Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575616621519313035.post-25858771425900731222015-02-15T18:43:48.528-07:002015-02-15T18:43:48.528-07:00Ooh! sounds like fun!
