A clever book to teach idioms in a ELAR classroom. The illustrations go great with each idiom. This book is fun! ( )

I just love this book! It explains a collection of idioms in a concise and easy way. It worked for me! I never knew why "crocodile tears" meant fake crying. There were a bunch I hadn't really thought about before, and I was not really equipped to answer questions before like "Why is it called giving the cold shoulder?" Can't wait to get my own copy for this classroom. ( )

There is only one idiom per page which I think would be helpful for students. The pages also give the idiom, its meaning, and a short paragraph with the idiom used in context. Black and white pictures are included to help reinforce the idioms.
