This book uses clever and minimalist graphics to help illustrate the differences between 100 pairs (or triplets or quadruplets) of words that sound alike.

From beat and beet to flee and flea,baron and barren to golf and gulf, each spread contains a pair or group of homophones and corresponding illustrations that provide context for each word.

• Worden's work has been featured by BoingBoing, Bored Panda, and My Modern Met

He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My daughters and I read through the entire book together in one sitting, enjoying the clever wordplay. I particularly liked it when Worden was able to make similar-looking illustrations for a pair of homophones, with just subtle changes to reflect the differences in meanings.
