Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Eye to Eye shows children the magic of idioms - words that separately have onemeaning, but together take on something entirely different.Children are curious about words, especially phrases that make them laugh (StickYour Neck Out) or sound silly (All Ears).Eye to Eye uses outlandish illustrations of what the words describe literally. Thereader then has to guess the "real" meaning of the phrases (which are at thebottom corner of the spread). At the end of the book, the reader is invited to learnmore about these figures of speech.Our first book of idioms, Birds of a Feather (2009), dealt with birds, insects oranimals. Our second, Life is a Bowl Full of Cherries (2011) uses food idioms.Our third book, Out of the Blue (2012) dealt with idioms about colors. This will bethe fourth in the series, dealing with body parts. All four are fun - and instructive.
Eye to eye provides a fun and creative means to help students experience and understand idioms. This delightful book also assists educators in the instructions of Core Curriculum skills of recognizing the meaning of idioms as a way to express thoughts or ideas in an entertaining and thoughtful manner. Humorous animal illustrations and explanatory examples help young readers comprehend the importance of figurative language in everyday conversation. Eye to eye encourages students to develop higher thinking skills through a variety of literacy activities. An explanatory page at the end of the book adds to the understanding of the literal meanings of the idioms.
