Palindromania!

Palindromania! by Agee, Jon. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374357306.

The ultimate celebration for the palindromic year 2002! What exactly is "palindromania"? Its the inability to see the word STRAW without thinking WARTS. Its the powerful impulse to reverse the name OPRAH to make it HARPO. Its the uncontrollable urge to buy A TOYOTA. Its an obsession with words and phrases that read exactly the same forwards and backwards. And now, in his most entertaining and extensive volume, Jon Agee, the prime purveyor of palindromes, has taken this unique word phenomenon to a whole new level. Featuring themed sections, comic-strip-style stories, and even lengthy monologues, Agees collection of over 160 familiar and unfamiliar palindromes paired with all-new masterly cartoons is a treasure for word-lovers young and old. Palindromania! is a 2003 Bank Street - Best Childrens Book of the Year.
