This book of similes shows animals that represent feelings like “nice as a bunny” and “shy as a shrimp.” Some of the similes used are old sayings like ‘strong as an ox”. The illustrations work with your imagination to show what the simile might look like. The cover shows a little boy riding a cricket because the simile is “quick as a cricket.” A website with curriculum connections: http://library.uncc.edu/files/5/cimc/pdfs/units/quickcricket.pdf
