Overview
A playful exploration of onomatopoeia and its cultural significance.
If it goes "moo," every child knows it's a cow. If it goes "Wham! Bam! Crash!" we're in a fast-paced comic. But what goes "krknout?" Barbara Lasserre takes us on a delightful journey through the wonderful world of words that mimic sounds.
Normally relegated to children's books, cartoons, and comedians, she shows how these often ancient words reveal unexpected things about the way we think, speak, and act. A book for anyone who loves playing with words.
