Description
Presents instructions for speaking thirteen secret languages, including Pig Latin, one of the best known and easiest codes to learn, and Boontling, developed by people in a California town. Thirteen different secret languages and codes are described and explained. Literature of Delight. The famous punster, prankster, and riddle-regaler goes global for a look at the "ecret-say" "anguages-lay" of the world's children. It's the ripest kind of fun, with material ready for readers to bite into. More passive souls can just sit around and laugh with Schwartz's There's a Carrot in My Ear, Tales of Trickery, and more. Several secret languages are explained.
