What was the name of that children's book by Fred Gwynne that came out in the 80's about homonyms?

It was a humorous book, and I remember a page where a little boy was asked by his mother to bring him something, and he said that she said he "was a little dear", and they showed the kid had a deer's head and hooves.


I wanted to find a copy of that for my daughter.

Fred Gwynne wrote a few books like this (they're really clever)


"A Chocolate Moose for Dinner"

"A gorilla war? Car pools? Playing the piano by ear? It's no wonder a little girl is confused by some of the strange things she overhears her mommy and daddy saying. With his hilarious wordplay and zany illustrations, Fred Gwynne keeps children of all ages in stitches!"





"The King Who Rained"


http://www.amazon.com/King-Who-Rained-St...


"A king who rained for forty years? A coat of arms? Boars coming to dinner? No wonder a little girl is confused by the things her parents say. With his hilarious wordplay and zany illustrations, Fred Gwynne keeps children of all ages in stitches!"
