Kids can cavort through the endless entertainment the English language offers as they join the "The Circus of Words." Children of all ages are delighted by anagrams, palindromes, acrostics, alliteration, riddles, and puns, and this creative and challenging activity book shows kids how to juggle letters to become ringmasters of wordplay. "The Shrinking Spotlight" shows how larger words become smaller words when certain letters are removed. "Clown Cars" introduces the idea of words hiding within words, and "The Acro Bat" and "Silver Spoonerisms" show off letter clusters that change from one word to another.
