A Beginning, A Muddle, And An End, by Avi

A wonderful little book full of word play that can be enjoyed at so many levels. Grades 4 - adult! Great for elementary and middle school TAG students to discover all the double entendres. A thoroughly fun and quick read. Thanks, Avi!

"Don't try to confuse me with logic," said the tree frog. "The only things I hate more than logic are facts that tell me I'm wrong."

"What about facts that tell you you're right?"

"This being a free country," said the tree frog, "I don't care what you say as long as I get to decide which facts are right and which are wrong." ...

And where do you get your facts?" asked Edward.

"I make them at a factory."
