"My boys are really loving this book. We read one idiom a day. They give you an example of using it in a sentence, the meaning and the origin. There is a black and white drawing of a person on each page and the idiom is highlighted in yellow. It's alphabetical and has a good index in the back. We started with A and are working our way through; it takes about 2 minutes total. It's one of their favorite parts of the day. There are some good laughs and a few 'what the heys' along with 'that's gross'. Good times.
October 2009 - Still reading it. Still loving it."
