This is a great book for teaching students about what a simile is. Every line in the story is a well-known simile and together they form a story line. I found this book very clever and funny, I did not realize how often we use similes and how funny a lot of them actually are.
The book opens with a definition of what a simile is and ends by suggesting that the reader try to create their own similes. This book could be used as part of a Language Arts lesson for teaching middle to upper elementary students about similes. It would be easy to follow this book with a short activity where students write their own similes and share them with the rest of the class.
