Words can often be confusing and even amusing...
This entertaining and witty book will take you on an adventurous ride, revealing a comical side to many words.
Despite that, Little Vinny always manages to find a humorous side to words within his day-to-day life.
He, like many children, struggles with homophones and with understanding the difference between figurative language versus literal language.
Welcome to Vinny\'s world! The quirky young boy has a vivid imagination that often goes into overdrive.
They can imagine something entirely different from what is meant.
But it can also bewilder a child.
Figurative language can be quite effective at helping people form mental images.
Additionally bemusing is that people often use figurative language, such as similes, metaphors, hyperboles, and personification, to describe things.
So it\'s logical to see how they can easily misinterpret things.
And the list goes on! To a young mind, certain spoken words can be pretty complex or rather abstract.
A few examples are: knew and new, tail and tale, eye and I, blue and blew.
These baffling words within the English language are called homophones.
