Bob has a problem. He's a palindrome. In fact, once he learns what a palindrome is, he starts finding palindromes everywhere: his little sis, Nan; his pup, Otto; even his Mom and Dad! It's making Bob feel like a kook. Is there no escape? Mark Shulman and Adam McCauley have joined forces to create a wonderfully visual, ridiculously clever book of wordplay. Join the hilarity. . . do your civic deed, don't let your pupils slip up, and find the over 101 palindromes hiding in the words and pictures of this zany book.

A lot of fun for my class:
I used this book as a read-aloud to introduce palindromes to my fourth grade class. The students loved looking for the palindromes hidden in the pages. Great book.
wow:
Poor Bob is shocked to discover that he is a palindrome, and what is more, so is almost everyone in his family. No matter what he tries it seems he cannot escape them; there are palindromes everywhere. The cover promises more than 101 palindromes hidden in the book. Check out the palindromes embedded in the dedication by these two clever guys. Children (and adults) will have a great time finding them. Don't overlook the book titles on the shelves, the baby's gurgle, and the angry sound of the truck horn.... more info
T.Kirby:
This was a thoroughly delightful book which my 6-year old grandson enjoyed immensely particularly so since his grandfather's name is also a palindrome. It was humourous, clever and very educational.
Funny and Educational:
As a fourth grade teacher I purchased this book to use with my students. They absolutely loved it and found the book funny. After I read it to them they searched high and low for other words that were palindromes.
