Gertrude and her girlfriends, get their game on in this supremely sweet story.

Forever friends find fun in crafting creative contests.

Author Lisa Baker and her cousin Anna Marie Smith team up to create a story of three girls and how they love coming up with games. They decided to merge their love of collective nouns, or animal groupings like a herd of cows, with their newfound knowledge of alliteration where the first letter of each word is the same.

"Lisa Baker's loveable alliterative literature provides a warm welcome to the world of wordplay. Enjoy reading about Gertrude's globetrotting game, during which the friends find fun in coining collective terms. This book carries on the centuries-old tradition of giving groups such glorious names as "a flamboyance of flamingos" or "a bike of bees." With the perfect pictures to illustrate the imaginings of the trio of tykes, the following is to be read and reveled in by children and adults alike." -Rob Watts

At the end of the story unscramble the fourteen letters to create a two-word phrase and scan the QR code in the back of the book for a freebie with the correct answer.
