Aye! There's the king of the word city... and I forget what it's called... and his brother is the king of the math city, and they've been quarreling forever about words and numbers.

Digitopolis and Dictionopolis! Those're the cities.

It does! I just read the part about the color symphony, which was the most amazing thing ever.

This book is also full of puns that don't make me want to jump off a bridge. Why can't more people make puns like that?
