      Cleary begins with a very general definition of his terms--"Compound Word: A word made up of two or more shorter words"--then proceeds full steam ahead with examples that fit the description but may or may not actually be compounds (horsemanship? fourteen?). As usual, the cartoon cats careen around the pages.
