Poor Bob is shocked to discover that he is a palindrome, and what is more, so is almost everyone in his family. No matter what he tries it seems he cannot escape them; there are palindromes everywhere. The cover promises more than 101 palindromes hidden in the book. Check out the palindromes embedded in the dedication by these two clever guys. Children (and adults) will have a great time finding them. Don't overlook the book titles on the shelves, the baby's gurgle, and the angry sound of the truck horn. The bold pictures underscore Bob's frantic feelings. A great book for teaching wordplay.

As a fourth grade teacher I purchased this book to use with my students. They absolutely loved it and found the book funny. After I read it to them they searched high and low for other words that were palindromes.

Great book for children interested in the words and vocabulary. I enjoyed it. I purchased it for my grand daughter age 4. Not sure she will appreciate it until she is older. My daughter really enjoyed it. Think it is a book adults can appreciate as well as children.

This was a thoroughly delightful book which my 6-year old grandson enjoyed immensely particularly so since his grandfather's name is also a palindrome. It was humourous, clever and very educational.

I read this book to my niece and nephew and they wanted me to read it over again rather than switching to a new book. It passes the "Uncle test"!

My 1st grader (soon to be a second grader) loves this book - a fun way to learn about palindromes and discover different words that fit the rule!

Product came in a timely manner and was a good price. The book was in excellent condition.

Grand daughter with a Palindrome name so really enjoy reading this to her. Hope you like it too.

The palindromes are great. My husband and daughters enjoyed reading it together. And I know the lesson of palindromes will stick with my daughters between the book and the game we played with scrabble tiles letting them rearrange words to see for themselves in a tactile way.

As for whether to buy it or not, I'd rather check it out from the local library. The art was garish. I wouldn't be able to read this one over and over with the kids like I do with our favorites.

Bob has a story to tell. He starts by telling you his name is nothing serious to the reader but it almost did him in(literally as the word Bob is about to fall on him). The other day his teacher taught the class about palindromes and the only one in class with a name that is a Palindrome is poor old Bob.

Much to his dismay he learns palindromes are everywhere! Even mom and dad are palindromes!

Bob, in a panic, runs through the city and finds even more palindromes!

In the end he figures out they are just words and nothing to be afraid.

This was a cute book. The artwork really helps with the pod people approach to the story line.

My daughter wanted it read many times and has read it a few times her self. Mark of a good book!
