“ This book is not your ninth grade teacher’s English lesson on idiomatic expressions! Vanita Oelschlager and Robin Hegan’s work brings fun, laughter and life to some of the best examples of our complex and delightful language. Young children are “ripe for the picking” when it comes to literacy development, and this book is a great tool for both the home and classroom.” Katherine Y. Hatcher Director of Lower School Lake Ridge Academy North Ridgeville, Ohio
