Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A picture book about homonyms starring a silly cast of animal athletes.
What is a homonym? 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.

Playing a variety of sports, an assortment of animals introduces words that sound and are spelled the same but have different meanings, such as "bat," a flying mammal, and "bat," an implement for hitting a baseball.
