Funny that I read this book after going to a training about encoding/decoding. This would be good practice to reinforce word work. (

This book is centered around the funny things that happen when you take away just one letter from a word.

A light-hearted book with alphabet word play. Each letter has a word, when the letter is taken away makes a new word. (

Fun read that does a play on words and gives the reader something to have fun with while reading. (
