Bookroo's summary

Each page shows the funny, literal picture a young girl imagines when she hears common expressions and words that sound alike, from a pigeon-toed walk to a fork in the road. The book turns the quirks of English homonyms and figures of speech into a gallery of silly misunderstandings.
