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.

    The book was competitively priced, ordering was easy, the book was well packaged and arrived safely, and its condition was exactly as specified.The delivery time from ordering to mailbox was a little long (14 days), but overall it was a good experience and I would use this seller again.

    Item as described, but slow shipping. 18 days for the item to arrive. No padding in packaging, the item arrived a little beat up.

    A week passed before it shipped, so it took 2 weeks to receive, but upon arrival it was safely packaged, and just as pictured and described in the listing.
