Author #94: Homographs with Gene Barretta



The cover of the book is also the page to the left of the page with the writing in the story.  The cover fish is Billy the striped Bass.  ZoolaPalooza: A Book of Homographs written and illustrated by Gene Barretta is a clever way to introduce the confusing world of English  homographs where a word can have multiple meanings and even different pronunciations for the same spelling of the word.  For some homograph worksheets you can visit: http://www.k12reader.com/subject/homograph-worksheets/

Gene Barretta has many more wonderful books including Neo Leo: The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo Da Vinci, plus other books on Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin, all with his unique and funny style of illustration.   Read more about Mr. Barretta at: http://www.genebarretta.com/
