From amazon.com:Bold black type on stark white pages begin each set of word associations. "Today's Surprise" takes the last four letters, "rise," and in a gate-fold illustration, depicts a child awakening in the morning light. "Ouch" breaks away from "Do Not Touch," with an illustration of a porcupine, poison and a hot flame, among other things. Some of the concepts are more clear than others. "Quite Bright" becomes "Right," with a child surrounded by arithmetic equations...Carrier's wordplay, minus the illustrations, makes a point about word patterns that few readers could. Readers may initiate a few word associations of their own, and that is an activity well worth inspiring.
