Through the use of word play, a little girl imagines what her parents are talking about when they are actually meaning something different. Some of the words she misunderstands include "carpool" and "undertow."
The illustrations are classic drawings and can help the reader understand what the parents are actually talking about.
This book has some great examples for homonyms and homophones. Students can use this book to compare words that may seem like they have a different meaning. For example, the girl hears her parents talking about guerrilla war and assumes it is a war with gorillas in it.
