(3) K-3 Moses explains a variety of idioms using simple definitions and humorous sample sentences accompanied by droll folk-art-style oil illustrations (e.g., "Ever since the hurricane hit the hospital, the poor doctors had to operate on a shoestring" shows a shoelace undergoing surgery). Some of the humor seems directed at readers older than picture-book age, possibly requiring adult explanation. Bib., ind.
