was it a rat I saw?
Palindromes are, of course, words or phrases that are spelled the same backwards or forwards. "So Many Dynamos!" is a palindrome as well-- go ahead, spell it backwards!! Mr. Agee has collected some fantastically complicated and funny palindromes in this collection. All of them are illustrated, which add so much to the palindrome itself. For example, two...

A delightful book
Not the best book you'll ever read, but certainly somethig fun to pick up for someone's birthday, a young child, or an old child :) who's easily giggled by wordplay and cartoons. Think Far Side, focused on palindromes. I'm not sure if it thrives for as many pages as this goes, but it's a generally enjoyable book.

This review is from: So Many Dynamos!: and Other Palindromes (Paperback)
Palindromes are, of course, words or phrases that are spelled the same backwards or forwards. "So Many Dynamos!" is a palindrome as well-- go ahead, spell it backwards!! Mr. Agee has collected some fantastically complicated and funny palindromes in this collection. All of them are illustrated, which add so much to the palindrome itself. For example, two rugged cowboys are running away from a huge pair of pants. "Massive Levi's, Sam!" one man shouts to the other. Another of my favorites is of two scientists gazing through a massively huge microscope at something on a small slide. "snot or protons?" asks one scientist. Making palindromes is no easy task, though there are hundreds of them. Mr. Agee has proven himself brilliant by not only putting them together, but illustrating some rather difficult ones that then make perfect sense (I'll let you find out what "No! Put egg getup on!" means...!!)

Clever and entertaining,
This review is from: So Many Dynamos! and Other Palindromes (Library Binding)
In any event, Jon Agee's extremely clever palindromes and accompanying illustrations are absolutely fantastic. My personal favorite is the papaya war, but you'll have to read it to understand. :)
