Over the years spent creating his nationally syndicated panel Speed Bump, Reuben Award–winning cartoonist Dave Coverly has seen trends in which themes are the most popular. The perennial favorite, though, is dogs.

Young word lovers will have lots to peruse here." —Kirkus Reviews"The only problem with this book will be in trying to keep children from sharing their own inappropriate words." —School Library Journal |
