Review

​

“Idioms are a tricky business for children, and this story is a useful way to introduce those literal little people in our lives to them. Told in rhyme, the story juxtaposes a child’s literal interpretation of several idioms, proverbs, and clichés with factual information on what each idiom actually means . . . the book will have a place in classrooms as an introduction to sayings of all kinds. The artwork is nicely rendered with endpapers that surely exist as wallpaper in all of our Grandma’s homes.”

“Original paintings conceived from a child’s point of view provide a hilarious visual interpretation of those sayings oft-quoted by the ‘senior’ members of our families.” – Joan Kindig, Ph.D., Children’s Literature Reviewer
