Sayings like "You look like the cat who swallowed the canary" and "Let sleeping dogs lie" are heard every day, but what do these expressions really mean? This book defines and illustrates more than 400 such sayings. Arranged in categories like "Around the House" and "Under the Waves, " each section is a collage of whimsical illustrations and animal motifs with a central theme uniting several idioms. There's a Frog in My Throat! will have readers laughing like hyenas.

There‘s a Frog in my Throat by Loren Leedy and Pat Street is a great book for learning about different poetry techniques such as simile, metaphor, idiom, proverb, etc. Would have great use when creating poetry. #ucflae3414f17

Madiwright97 http://teacher.scholastic.com/fairs/currconnection/downloads/cc_frog_throat.pdf this activity allows students to match the saying with the true meaning. It teaches them different poetry techniques and what they really mean. Love this activity! 7y

JocelynNolton This sounds like an awesome wsy to teach language to not only ELL's but the entire class. I also like the idea of matching terms, I think that'll be helpful. 7y
