This book holds fond memories for me. My stepmother gifted this book to me when I was young, and she would practice all the tongue twisters with me, thus helping me slowly overcome a speech impediment I had back then. Up to this day when I begin to stutter or fall back into behavior like when I was a child I remember these twisters and push myself not to do so.

I love this book mostly because it was an important fixture within my relationship with my stepmother.

As for the book itself, it is a fun one for parents everywhere to share with their kids. There are some recognizable twisters such as "Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers" or "Sally sells seashells by the sea shore", and many others that are fun exercises in speech for the whole family.
