Next, I brushed my hare and put on my new pear of shoes.
Mum painted her nails before we set out for the day.
Join Banjo and his mum on what starts as a straightforward day out, only to have it upended by homophones (two words with the same pronunciation but with different meanings), turning the narrative into the delightfully absurd. Kids and adults alike will love this joyful new wordplay extravaganza from debut author Mel Amon with illustrations by international superstar Sophie Beer. The hilarious wordplay combined with delightful illustrations have kids ‘in on the joke’ from the very beginning.
Publisher Review
'Hare or hair, pear or pair, son or sun - abounds in a glorious new picture book from author Mel Amon, illustrated by national treasure Sophie Beer. Good Morning, My Deer! is a celebration of homophones: two words that sound the same but mean very different things ... For kids aged 3+ who love a bit of nonsense, those just starting to learn to read, and those with an appreciation for the absurdities of the English language, this debut picture book offers plenty to look at and discuss. Amon's straightforward text turns an ordinary day into something quite extraordinary, and Beer's bright and instantly recognisable illustrations are the perfect companion. Older children and grown-ups alike will enjoy hunting for easter eggs in the pages (not all the homophones are in the text), and there's a deep sense of satisfaction when you correctly identify pie/pi, beats/beets, or jeans/genes.' * Books+Publishing *
