It's a word that has different meanings but is always spelled the same. This informative book, set at a sporting event, includes a BAT who can BAT! A karate-chopping bulldog who is tough enough to BREAK five boards without taking a BREAK, and a STEER who tried to STEER his skateboard, but accidentally fell into a well—and that’s just for starters. The clever wordplay from Gene Barretta introduces children to the richness of language through homonyms. Christy Ottaviano Books
