Items related to Zoola Palooza: A Book of Homographs
The all-animal touring concert group Zoola Palooza has come to town. With a motley crew of animals playing a variety of instruments, homographs abound (homographs are words that are spelled the same but sound different and have different meanings). Billy the striped BASS opens the show wearing a big BOW tie. He gives a gracious BOW from the top of his BASS fiddle.
This terrific companion to Dear Deer: A Book of Homophones brings homographs to the spotlight for a show-stopping good time.

Review:
“... [kids will] enjoy Barretta's wit and the atmosphere of controlled chaos in the high-energy watercolor illustrations.” ―Booklist Online
“Young readers should appreciate Barretta's ability to construct miniature story lines using the homographs, and while phrases sometimes hit clunky notes ("Fortunately, she wound up landing on the back of a jellyfish, wound-free"), they are well-served by his starry-eyed, crowd-surfing menagerie.” ―Publishers Weekly
“While teachers are sure to reach for this entertaining resource again and again, the humor, illustrations, wordplay and story are strong enough that casual readers will pick this up, chuckle and even (gasp!) learn.” ―Kirkus Reviews
