Idioms

Thirty-two humorous line drawings are used to illustrate thirty-one frequently used English language idioms. Since an idiom is an expression that can create confusion to learners of the English language by having both a figurative or a literal meaning, a ten-year-old boy uses cartoon style drawings to depict the literal meanings of English idioms in a humorous way to illustrate the concepts of formulaic language and figurative meanings.

Comments:

Bhuvan Bhadra has transformed this teacher’s clumsy explanations of everyday idioms into whimsical cartoons that will delight even the crustiest non-lover of language. IDIOMS is dessert for the soul.
~ Charlotte Faulkner, Developmental Language Teacher

Until I saw this book, I had forgotten what idioms are. Now I understand them better. It is an interesting book, and the drawings are funny.
~ Julia, 5th grade student
