Gordon K. Tseng and his daughter Sharon H. Tseng both love to play with words. One day, Gordon proposed, "Why don't we write down everything that we have been playing with?" Sharon soon collected all the rhymes they had made. Later, they got quite a few funny rhymes that really twist. After these rhymes were edited, this book-with 60 cool tongue twisters-came to be. Let's play English! But Gordon and Sharon have declared that they are not responsible for any possible damage to your twisted tongue or brain. Please see a doctor if anything happens. Just don't blame them or this book, because it's you who want to play. So, take it easy! Show time!
