Publisher's Synopsis
A Fresh Spin on the Classic Word Game, Mad Libs.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy these silly story fill-ins. Each of the 30 unique stories included in this volume offers a new opportunity to produce side-splitting silliness.
Before each story the narrator will find a special word list he or she can use to make suggestions and add variety to the vocabulary used in the fill-ins.
Another special feature of the Mad Words series is the printable word lists in the back of the book which players can use to add depth and additional humor to their silly answers.
Doing Mad Words is an amazing way to practice parts of speech, increase vocabulary, build creativity, and have a wonderful and uproarious time.
Great for parties, family gatherings, holiday get-togethers, or just an evening's entertainment.

"This is not your ordinary kids' fill-in story book. Oh yes, there are stories to complete and lists of possible words to use. There are even pages in the back of the book with many more words, all grouped by category - nouns, verbs, animal sounds, exclamations, and much more. What makes this book so special is the lists of nonsense words, unusual words, and words you probably didn't know were words, some with definitions, that let you take a story - such as your Hannibal Hit it Out of the Park or What's a Henge? or Caveman Music? - and turn it into something that is certain to make you laugh.
And who knows? Along the way kids may even come up with a new word! Of course the best part of all is how this creates an interest in words (perhaps even a love of words?) through the fun they have just doing these stories.
The next thing you know, they may even start writing stories of their own using their new, expanded vocabulary, and that, in my opinion, definitely makes this book a winner!" DM
