I LOVE the illustrations and learning links in this book about metaphors! I firmly believe pictures help students make connections that help them retrieve data. Sometimes we repeat sayings so often we loose the context of what that might look like in a child's mind and this book brings those vivid details back to our attention. My two favorites were "His eyes were bigger than his stomach" with huge eyes on a tiny body with little stomach and "Our teacher assigned an avalanche of homework" illustrated by a tiny hand sticking out from a pile of white notebook paper.
