Cleary, Brian P.

Skin like Milk, Hair of Silk: What Are Similes and Metaphors?

32 pp. | Millbrook | September, 2009 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-9151-1 $15.95
(4) K-3 Words Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Brian Gable. After the text vaguely describes the differences between similes and metaphors, Cleary and Gable's exaggerated cats present a number of humorous examples. Though the rhymes don't all work perfectly and readers may still come away hazy about definitions, the volume is generally entertaining and accessible.
