Who likes a good tongue twister? Alvin Schwartz has collected twisters old and new, short and long to give your tongue a work out! He explains in the introduction that tongue twisters have been around for centuries, sometimes telling stories, being used as warmups for singers and actors, even helping a dentist assess his work and as a WWII password!
A Twister of Twists, a Tangler of Tongues
Alvin Schwartz
illustrated by Glen Rounds 1972
This one destroys me!
I can't read this one without rolling my "r's" and thinking of that scene in "Singing in the Rain".
