Fantastic, fun with grammar, great way to teach kids, with words they understand. Using their own terminology.

Some clever bits that are new to me, but largely a rehashing of clichés.

I got this book in a charity shop years ago (I used to buy lots from there and need to go back to supporting them more frequently, truth be told), but this is one of the odd little findings! It's funny and quirky, but helpful for sure.
I feel like this would be good for someone struggling with the English language, or children learning grammar etc and the weird phrases we say. It also included Australian and American sayings too.
It was quite fun, if a bit odd.

Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
