The Bass Plays the Bass and Other Homographs, by Gene Barretta

The Bass Plays the Bass and Other Homographs
Written and Illustrated by Gene Barretta

This books introduces students to homographs. The illustrations are fun and entertaining. The story is weak because it is mostly a book for educating students, not really for telling a story. It would be over the heads of young students and might confuse them, so I recommend this for ages 8 and up. English is often complicated but always an adventure!
