Idioms from Head to Toe is the subtitle of this book and it is guaranteed to tickle the funnybone of children and adults alike. The world is a dangerous place for Chip, a boy with a literal approach to figures of speech.
Tedd Arnold's witty illustrations graphically portray Chip's interpretation of colourful phrases such as "My ears are burning."
Nearly a hundred idioms are depicted and no body part turn of phrase is too outrageous for Arnold to illustrate.
Delicate readers may want to think twice about opening a book that covers phrases such as "I screamed my lungs out" and "I'm tongue-tied."
