About the Author:
Marvin Terban's popular wordplay books for Clarion include IN A PICKLE AND OTHER FUNNY IDIOMS and TO HOT TO HOOT: FUNNY PALINDROME RIDDLES. He lives in New York City.
From Booklist:
Gr. 4-6. Emphasizing ways in which readers can improve their writing, a master of children's wordplay tackles six of the most frequently used figures of speech--similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, alliteration, hyperbole, and personification. In each of the well-organized chapters, Terban includes a clear definition of the figure of speech, familiar and lesser-known examples from folklore and literature, writing exercises, and ways to avoid pitfalls such as clich{‚}es and mixed metaphors. As in the author and illustrator's other lively books about language, Maestro's small, comic-style drawings are interspersed throughout the lucid text. A good choice for whole-language classrooms. Julie Corsaro
