Reach for this book when you notice your child interpreting your words with surprising, and often hilarious, literalism. It is a perfect choice for the preschooler or early elementary student who is just starting to realize that words can have double meanings. Fred Gwynne, famous for playing Herman Munster, uses surreal illustrations to show what a child actually sees when they hear about a gorilla war or shoe trees. While the book is primarily a joyful and creative comedy, it serves a deeper purpose by validating the confusion children feel when navigating the complex idioms of adult conversation. It is an essential tool for building linguistic awareness through shared laughter and imaginative play.
