Wallace Edwards, the award-winning author of
Alphabeasts
, has returned with a brilliant collection of illustrated idioms. From a fish opening a “can of worms” to a tap-dancing octopus putting his “best foot forward,” these familiar sayings are reimagined in hilarious and unexpected ways.
To help readers “stay on the ball,” the idioms are used in a sentence that accompanies each illustration, and the meaning of each idiom is explained at the end of the book. Every page is so richly illustrated that it is sometimes a challenge to find the hidden monkeys — some are more easily spotted than others!
A playful introduction to idioms, a clever eye-spy book and a gallery of stunning animal portraits, this collection is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

A grandfather explains to his young grandson why he has portrait of a dog hanging on his wall. When he was a young farm boy, he discovered a stray dog and wanted to keep him for a pet. His father would have only working dogs on the farm and refused to allow the boy to keep the dog. The boy thinks his father has shot it and is heartbroken. Some time later the boy becomes lost in the bush and is in trouble when the sun goes down and the temperature drops. Out of nowhere the dog appears and stays with the boy, keeping him warm, until searchers find them in the morning. The dog then disappears, never to be seen again. Based on a true story, this stunningly illustrated, poignant tale.
