Fun and Puzzling Wordplay for Smart Kids
At last! A book of fun puzzles and other activities for readers of all ages.
This book covers almost every kind of wordplay you can put in a book. It strives to be easier that adult-level books (even adults can appreciate that). Each chapter is only six pages long -- perfect for short attention spans. Puzzle hints and answers are only a page turn away. The book targets smart kids of all ages, as long as they can read. Non-puzzle topics include puns, oxymorons, spoonerisms, poetry (rhyme and rhythm), and more. ALL WAYS PlayIN' WITh WORDS, An introduction to wordplay for smart kids is now available in paperback at Amazon.com. Buy it. Read it. Review it. And spread the word to young and old alike. Thank you.
 Here are some examples of the types of wordplay in the book.
Anagrams rearrange the letters in one word to make another word:
LEAF -becomes- FLEA
CORK -becomes- ROCK
CONE -becomes- ONCE.
Palindromes are words that are spelled the same way forwards and backwards:
PUP -and- KAYAK
Charades bring together two words to make a new word, like GO + OF = GOOF
Containers (or piggyback words) put one word inside another word to form a new word:
ARROW into NEST = NARROWEST
There are 20 chapters covering how words look and sound, plus 7 chapters about word meanings. A special section at the back of the book introduces readers to double wordplay. Watch out! It's tricky.
