Mom and Dad Are Palindromes -- 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.

Mark Shulman has had a mom, a dad, more than one sis, a tot or two (S. S. and Hannah), and a Toyota. He is the author of AA Is for Aardvark, Fillmore & Geary Take Off!, and more than 55 other books for children and adults. He comes from Buffalo, and now New York.

"Madam, I'm Adam" McCauley is the author and illustrator of My Friend Chicken. He has also illustrated many other picture books and chapter books for children, including The Time Warp Trio series and Sideways Stories from Wayside School.
