Unintentional Humor - Linda Gund Anderson

Inspired by a boy with autism, Unintentional Humor is a laugh-out-loud book that highlights the ambiguity of the English language when experienced by a literal mind. Literal interpretations of common expressions such as "Surfing the web", "You're in the dog house", and "Pig out" demonstrate how humour can be used to increase understanding of cultural and developmental language barriers. Unintentional Humor is filled with eighty-five true stories and ninety original cartoon illustrations providing great family entertainment for people of all ages. The twenty-three pages of definitions make Unintentional Humor an effective teaching tool for both home and school. Unintentional Humor is being developed into school curriculum, learning materials, and a series of additional books.
