Summary

"Anguish Languish" by Howard L. Chace is a creative book that dives into language by turning common English phrases into a funny new form called Anguish, using words that sound similar but mean something different. The book offers both entertainment and a look into how language can be twisted for laughs. Inside are funny stories and poems that show off how familiar sayings and tales change into their Anguish versions. It begins with the story of "Little Red Riding Hood," changed to "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut," and then proceeds with other quirky originals such as "Guilty Looks Enter Tree Beers" and "Center Alley". Each story uses playful talk and silly situations to show off how language can be bent and played with, making readers enjoy the smart and lighthearted play.
