American Idioms

Loved this book of idioms. My sons school just did a parade of Idioms and this book was very useful as each child or pair of students had to portray the idoms in a parade for others to guess. I also find it useful for explaining the idioms to friends and co workers from overseas who are not familiar with the terms. I recommend this book to others as it can also be used for trivia fun.
