Hilarious and a Lot of Fun
By Michael Gallagher
While this is titled as a book for kids, I am certain most adults
will find this fairly humorous, also. Trying to say some of these silly
phrases is almost impossible, but you will get a kick and a big round
of laughter watching someone trying some of these (and the resulting
sounds that come out as you foul them up) as well as your own attempts.
I think the hardest one I've tried so far is "fresh fried fish, fish
fresh fried, fried fish fresh, fish fried fresh."
I originally
picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion vs. its normal price
of $1.99: you and your family will certainly get more than $1.99 of
entertainment and laughter value out of this one.

He sells a tongue twisters ebook in the Kindle store!
By Lark Spring
This Kindle ebook provides an excellent selection of tongue twisters, together with fun pictures illustrating them.
In
our modern, technological world full of computers and smart phones
sometimes it's a relief to take a break from typing or texting to fall
back on an old and simple idea like tongue twisters. These are just
strings of words that don't easily go together soundwise that you have
to try to say as fast as you can. The results can be hilarious.
Getting
a group of kids together to try to say tongue twisters can provide them
with great amusement. A competitive element can be introduced to
enhance the enjoyment, and sometimes a young person who is no good at
sports or school work will discover a hidden talent for tongue twisters
that raises his or her self-esteem.
They also have more serious
uses. For those whose native language is not English, they can provide
excellent practice in pronouncing consonant and vowel sounds. Children
with speech difficulties can also use them for practice when alone, and
they may play a part in training young singers so that lyrics are heard
more clearly.
And it's not just kids who love tongue twisters.
They also make excellent ice-breakers for work gatherings or seminars,
and are more sedate than most drinking games for parties.
So the
next time the power goes, or you find yourself stuck in a room with a
bunch of kids or adults you have to keep entertained, why not get them
all to have a go at saying some tongue twisters?

Funny, But.....Hmmmm
By Lisa
Good tongue twisters for kids,my daughter laughed really hard. At
the end of the bood there are a lot of links to other books. I don't
like that it so easily accessible for my seven year old to click on a
link and accidently purchase something, I will have to be with her when
she reads this one.
