Perfect for both word lovers and the casual reader, "ZOUNDS "brings together the linguistic talents of Mark Dunn, author of the award-winning novel "Ella Minnow Pea," and the graphic hilarity of Sergio Aragones, the legendary cartoonist and contributor to Mad Magazine, for a delightful romp through grammar, culture, and the English language.
