Raining Cats and Dogs by Will Moses - ESSENTIAL


Moses, Will Raining Cats and Dogs. Philomel (Penguin), 2008. PICTURE BOOK.

EL, MS - ESSENTIAL; HS - ADVISABLE

Moses' book is crammed with more than 40 idioms that are defined correctly, but illustrated with clever drawings that emphasize the literal interpretation. My only gripe with the book is that I wish each saying has its own page and that the book were more over-sized. A teacher really needs a document projector in order to use this text well.
