(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ethan Long. "Happy as a clam at high water"; "Red as a gobbler's snout in spring." Twenty-six regional similes, one for each letter of the alphabet, are accompanied by lively cartoon interpretations. Some of the expressions are a bit baffling ("Yellow as a flitter tree that grows beside a honey pond"); luckily, an author's note provides explanations. Bib.
