As alike as two peas in a pod. As sick as a parrot. As nutty as a fruitcake. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things in an interesting way using the word "like" or "as."

Primary school children are taught to write creatively in their literacy lessons and are asked to incorporate similes into their work.

Sally King's series of books "Reading in Rhyme" bring language alive for children, extending their vocabulary and increasing general knowledge for all age groups. The humorous illustrations only add to the fun of this book of similes, which would be a useful tool for children to have nearby when writing their own stories.

Autorenporträt
Sally King taught for forty years, specialising in English and Drama, but moving into the realms of Special Needs Education for her final ten working years. She was disappointed to see that so many words were disappearing from our children's vocabulary. Words relating to animals and birds became the basis for little rhymes which evolved into a trio of books. Passionate about language and words, believing that the English language is historical, rich and varied, her contribution is presented in rhythm and rhyme for children in three colourful books. Animal Families, A Flamboyance of Flamingos and Animal Homes.
