What's as still as a statue, as busy as bees, as scary as heights, and as silly as knees? What else but a simile, a figure of speech that's as fresh as a peach, as cheerful as bluebirds, as delicate... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We love this book! "We" includes me (homeschooling mama), and my seven year old and four year old sons. We are ordering it for our home because we enjoy reading it, even portions, just for the fun of it! I am reading it as part of our reading before we do our reading proper in homeschool time. It makes English enjoyable and worth doing again and again! The similes make you smile, but are helping my sons to get a feel for how reading and doing things with words is like playing with toys. For me, this book is like math manipulatives. Hope this is helpful!
