To write this book, the author asked schoolchildren what their teacher likes to say. Responses included many maxims, idioms, proverbs, and clichés like "Do you have ants in your pants?" to "Stick together!" and "Great minds think alike." This book stimulates young imaginations to explore the double-meaning of these quirky sayings.

Cute, informative, and nice illustrations.

This book was quite educational. Every page had facts about pennies and I leaned a lot.
