Pear Pairs..........by Kenn Vidro
Pear Pairs was published in July of 2008 by Gilbert Square Books with the help of D & D Printing in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was authored and illustrated by Kenn Vidro. Like the Square Pear Books,
it is a collection of fun, as well as challenging, word riddles. These riddles are called "Pear Pairs".
It's an ideal book for a long trip in the car or a simple "puzzle-a-day" use. It is the first book by Gilbert
Square Books with a perfect bind.
The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1993 edition) defines the terms homonym and
homophone in such a way that each term includes words that are pronounced alike and have
different spellings, and also words that are spelled alike and have different meanings. But for the
sake of confusion this book contains what we, as well as many others, agree the definitions to be. So
here they are……
Homonym or Homophone?
Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation as each other but have different
meanings as well as origins….(bow – tied with ribbon/ bow – shoots arrows)
Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation as each other but do have different
spellings as well as meanings….(ad – advertisement/ add – numerical meaning)
It is a great learning tool for educators as well as just a whole lot of FUN for all !

"EYE Can Find That !.........by Kenn Vidro
"EYE Can Find That!" was published in October of 2010 by Gilbert Square
Books with the help of D & D Printing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was
authored and illustrated by Kenn Vidro. As a kid growing up Kenn was always
a big fan of "Highlights" Magazine and its monthly hidden picture puzzle. He
thus created a humorously illustrated collection of alphabetical puzzles with
that "hidden" aspect. This book starts with items beginning with the letter A
hidden among Aliens and follows through the entire A-Z course having
readers using their EYES to spot and find the items starting with the same
letter as the page....C for cats....G for guitars ....etc. It's a book that's sure to
please kids of all ages & keep them enthralled for hours !
