Stubborn as a Mule and Other Silly Similes by Nancy Loewen


So this is not one I would necessarily read to the 3 year old, he would be really confused as we are still in the literal stage, but this is a great book for older elementary. Having struggled to find materials that were somewhat entertaining, while still teaching content, this one hits the nail on the head. I also like the sidebar information either further explaining that simile or information about its origin further to expand knowledge about language. I think this is a great book for kids in mid-to-upper elementary.

Story: 4 Buckeye leaves
Illustrations: 3 Buckeye Leaves
