My Teacher Likes to Say

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Monroe Donovan. Common English expressions--idioms, proverbs, adages, and clichés--are the subject of these poems. The illustrations show a modern American classroom with bland but realistic-looking children acting out sayings such as "please button your lip" and "do you have ants in your pants?" The explanations and the sources of these sayings are put in print too small for the intended audience.
