Fromthe author of the internationally bestselling EDWARD and EDWINA THE EMU, comes abook that presents readers with a puzzle - to find the anagrams hidden on everypage.
Dear reader, please take time to note
Two ways to read this book I wrote.
The first way is for everyone,
Just read the book, enjoy the fun.
The second way will challenge those
Who like to look beyond the prose.
Who'd like to ACT just like a 'cat'
(And that's an anagram, in fact).
Join in the fun with a host of quirky animals, and find out why a bear doesn't want to be bare, a seal goes to a sale, and a dingo is doing a dance.
Sheena Knowles, author of internationally bestselling Edward the Emu and Edwina the Emu, has teamed up with renowned illustrator Jonathan Bentley to create a joyous book that fires up the imagination and revels in the joy of words.
