Mom and Dad are Palindromes by Mark Shulman

If you are teaching your class about palindromes, then this is a GREAT BOOK! While reading it, I couldn't even believe how many there were. A toyota, racecar, deep speed, level and many more. This book is kind of set up in a way where Bob, the little boy, is just learning about palindromes in class. When the teacher points out that his name is a palindrome then that is all he can think about. All things around him are then palindromes (mom, dad, nan, anna, and so many more). He decides in the end that if he says everyone's full names that he can fix this problem of his.

I enjoyed this book because there were palindromes everywhere in the book. Even the books that were on the shelves in the book had titles that were palindromes. It is a book that could be read by any age group and a great lesson starter for learning about palindromes.
