This story uses every trick in the book to explain idioms to kids!


I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author and agreed to give an honest review.





Review:

Book Summary: 

Kids learn idioms through fun, simple rhymes taught by a clever puppy.





Opinion:

The Kid With The Ear-Splitting Scream!: And The Dog Who Explains Everything is part of The Kid and The Dog Series.

In this installment, the dog introduces young learners to idioms. Expressive illustrations and simple language make this concept easy to understand.

The book’s easy rhymes will engage young readers while teaching them about figurative language. As a teacher, I appreciate the creativity children’s authors use to teach complex skills. Teaching idioms has become effortless and joyful thanks to Dorenda Boyle!

A free gift at the end is another fun part of the book.

I give it  4 Lemon Drops!
