There's a Frog in My Throat! 440 Animal Sayings a Little Bird Told Me

       By Loreen Leedy & Pat Street   Published in 2003   48 Pages


A clever collection of animal sayings that is attractively illustrated. The sections are arranged by the type of animal that is invoked in the idiom.

The sections are as follows

Dogs, cats & other pets
Domestic (farm) animals
Birds & flying insects
Worms, bugs, & other creeping creatures
Fish & aquatic animals

There is also an index that allows one to sort through the jumble of classification. You can look up specific animals to find the sayings that they appear under.

The art is fun, evocative, colorful, and it plays with the dissonance between the literal and actual meanings of the sayings.
