My Teacher Likes to Say

This book was very enjoyable to read to my special needs students. It was a fun way to look at language and meaning. We all had a few laughs. The illustrator did a wonderful job depicting the literal meaning of the phrases. My students also enjoyed drawing their favorite phrases. I highly recommend this book.

A Great Way to Teach Idioms!

I thought I had lost this book. Of course, once I re-ordered, it turned up. BUt, it was so much fun that I had to order it again! It is a perfect example of idioms. My students loved it! We wrote our own idiom book afterwards. It is a fun book. It is well-written with great illustrations.
