Scholastic Dictionary Of Idioms (Revised)

My teenagers LOVE this book! It is a must have for word lovers. It is not just for younger children.

This book really comes in handy in the classroom, especially if you have ESL students. Use it all the time!

I really would LOVE to recommend this book for all of people who are learning English as a second language and hope to know English idioms. I am from Korea, but now I am staying in N.C. to learn English. I was looking for some books that could helps me to understand the meaning of idioms because sometimes it was too difficult for me to figure out what they mean. This book has more than 700 idioms with examples, meanings and origins. The origins help me to remember the idioms easier. After I read some, I finally understand why people use idioms in particular situations and I feel like I will never forget them. It may not really helpful for academic courses or daily conversation, but it is easy to read anytime and it is good for FUN! Unless I am older than twenty, this book is fun enough! And especially, this is cheaper than others. So, I'd like to say just buy and read. I am 99% sure that buying this book is going to be a good choice!

I work at a library in Brooklyn, and I purchased this book for a friend coming from Japan to learn English in NYC. This is a fun way to learn the language. I enjoy the descriptions of the origins of these idioms. I can't recommend this enough!!

This is a great product which I use when teaching my 5th grade student's about idioms. It is very user friendly! I recommend this without reservation and suggest you also get the books: MORE PARTS and EVEN MORE PARTS to complement your classroom library.
