We may know what it means to badger someone, to crow about our accomplishments, and to flounder about, but this cheeky compendium for readers 4 to 8 finds the humor in animals acting out the verbs made from their names. In Jennifer Black Reinhardt's wonderfully wacky watercolor and ink illustrations, there are hogs hogging, slugs slugging, and other creatures demonstrating homographs, words with different meanings that are spelled and pronounced the same. Linda Sue Park also includes a chart listing the word meanings and their history.
