Dillon, SC, Author Publishes New Book

Dillon, SC (Vocus/PRWEB) March 31, 2011

Having Fun With Palindromes, a new book by Mel Edens, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The palindromes used in this book are accompanied by cartooned depictions to convey whatever humorous idea or situation the phrase contains. No palindrome is worthwhile—no matter how long it is—if it does not make any sense. For example, the palindrome “Retrace Nile pipeline, Carter” would not make much sense without the accompanying cartoon depicting Howard Carter (the discoverer of King Tut’s tomb) searching the desert for the tomb, when all he has to do is follow an oil pipeline right to it. The cartoon, combined with the palindrome, brings together the desert, the Nile, Carter, and King Tut, and leads to plausibility. The book has over sixty cartooned palindromes, each designed to give you a good chuckle. Enjoy.

Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Mel Edens spent many weeks on Alert duty in his capacity as a KC-135 tanker pilot of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) back during the Cold War. As a pastime, he learned to construct crossword puzzles and wordplay games. He has since had over seventy crossword puzzles published in nationally syndicated puzzle magazines.

Palindromes easily became a wordplay challenge for him, with palindrome cartoons his favorite. Friends and relatives encouraged him to compile his efforts into a book that all could share. He found a cartoonist who could humorously convey his palindromic messages and the book became reality, thanks to the people at RoseDog Books.

Having Fun With Palindromes is an 84-page paperback with a retail price of $ 15.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8326-8. Rose Dog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania published it. For more information or to request a review copy, please visit our virtual pressroom at http://www.rosedog.com/pressroom or our online bookstore at http://www.rosedogbookstore.com.

As parents, we all want our kids to be smart and healthy, that’s no surprise. But with all the distractions now-a-days like Xbox and computer games, it can be hard to keep your children happy and entertained, while still having them learn something while they’re doing it. But there is a very fun and simple thing you can do to keeps your kids happy and educated at the same time.

Crossword puzzles are a great place to start. Crosswords are a big hit among adults and most people think kids just don’t like them. That’s not the truth though, because most crosswords are made for adults so the clues and words are unfamiliar to younger kids. A great and easy way to solve this problem is to make your own crossword puzzles for your kids.

Of course it’s not easy to spend a ton of time actually making your own crossword puzzle, it takes time and skill. But there are websites you can visit to do this for you instantly. All you do is enter in words, and clues to solve those words, and it makes the entire crossword puzzle for you.

You can put in words that your kids know and love, such as their favorite cartoon characters, their favorite color, their favorite food, etc. But don’t make them all easy, you still want to challenge your child so put in 3-5 words that maybe they don’t know and they’ll have to do a little work to figure out. This will make them spend more time with the puzzle while still keeping their brain going.

The great thing about using words your kids know and love is it will keep them involved. They won’t lose interested because of big words or because it’s not fun, because each time they solve a word and they recognize it as something they like, they’ll want to keep solving the rest of the crossword puzzle.
