By Loreen Leedy & Pat Street
Recommended for ages 5-9
.
Kids love animals and what better way to teach them some part of the English language - like simile, metaphor, idiom, or proverb, then with 400+ animal thoughts. This is a book, that even kids who do not like to read will enjoy. The illustrations are bright and humorous. The book is divided into 6 different categories, like the farm, under the waves, and on the wing. There is even an index in back. At the beginning, there is a glossary of the linguistic terms mentioned above.
Here s a few examples:
"My head is full of cob webs"
"A leopard can't change his spots"
"Stop badgering me"
"I'm living in a goldfish bowl"
"The tail is wagging the dog"
Your child will spend hours reading and laughing with this book.
This is a great book to add to a lower elementary student's reference library.
My first-grade daughter is getting this book for Christmas!
