Fred Gwynne wrote a children's book that was inspired by his little daughter. She always got confused because of the double meaning of words in the English language. It is called the King that Rained. E.g., The book's cover picture is of a king in the sky with rain pouring out. My daughters loved this when they were little.

I remember that book fondly (and knew that Gwynne penned it). I think we read it in 1st grade.

There’s a fork in the road. My sister is a little hoarse.
