SO fun! That is what this book was.
Orionally, I had no idea what this book was until I noticed that backwards, the sayings are exactly the same. And I was like, "Ohhhh! Now I know what this book is about" ifelt like a realy idiot. The bookwas entertaining. My favourite one has to be about that guy who escaped out of prison I think and the guards called him a fatso and then they went to their bosses and he was a fatso. :D
That was a bad description. LOL
You should rea More...

Palindromania by Jon Agee (Farrar Strauss & Giroux 2002)(793.734) is a short book with some very funny palindromes (words or phrases which are spelled the same backwards and forwards) which I had never heard (e.g. "Tis in a Desoto sedan I sit" and "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm."). 6/10, finished 9/19/11.

I found this in the kids section, and I thought my kids would get a kick out of it. "Fish Under Stress" is truly funny. The boys liked toilet humor. Many they didn't really get, and were too long to actually make sense. But it was interesting to see them ponder over seeing if they were truly palindromes :)

This is one of the most fun books ever! John Agee, the "droll lord" of palindromes! (thank you for that palindrome, Will Shortz) Nicely knockabout drawings, too.

Some were rally funny. Some were really cleverly constructed. Some were over the boy's head from an outdated, pop culture standpoint.

You will find there are more palindromes than you though. Gotta love these kinds of books.

A great comic illustrated pages full of amazing palindromes.
"Eva, can I stab bats in a cave?" is an example as one of these palindromes.
