About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child starts taking common sayings literally, or when they are ready to explore the more playful, puzzle-like aspects of language. 'Easy as Pie' turns learning idioms into an engaging A to Z guessing game. Each letter introduces a riddle based on a familiar phrase, like 'What's as quick as a ___?', with the answer and a funny illustration revealed on the next page. This interactive format sparks curiosity and a sense of accomplishment with each correct guess. It is an excellent choice for building vocabulary and introducing the concept of figurative language in a fun, accessible way that feels more like a game than a lesson.
