Elvis lives! and other anagrams

By: Jon Agee

This funny book is about anagrams like Southern California-hot sun or life in a car. An anagram is when you take a sentence or word and jumble it to create new sentences and words like punishment?-nine thumps. It has the same amount of letter and the same letters.


Jon Agee is an author and illustrator for children's books. He writes creative, funny books about words. One of his many books is Smart Fellar, Fart smeller when he introduces spoonerisms which is when you switch the first letters of each word in the sentence. One of the examples is well oiled bycicle-well boiled icycle.
Check out his books at the library and get your mind thinking about what you can do with words.

Not many people would enjoy a book like this, Faqeera. You and I do, but I didn't notice your ***** rating. :-)

A well boiled icycle just makes you smile, doesn't it.
