Summary: Fun Proverbs Book!
Review: FROM THE PUBLISHER:

101 American Proverbs, a delightful collection of such common observations and time-honored truths, provides insights into American people, customs, and language.

Harry Collis has arranged 101 proverbs into nine engaging sections - including: Watch Out! Getting Ahead! Friend or Foe! Words to Live By, and more.

Mario Risso's whimsical cartoons convey the meanings of the proverbs in humorous, often unexpected ways.

Summary: Enjoyable reading for non-native and native English speakers
Review: SO far, so good! My students enjoy these "proverbs" and lively discussion ensues. Some of the example scenarios using the expressions aren't that great - sometimes a bit elevated for intermediate ESL sudents. So just make up your own...

Summary: Smart Way for Studying Proverbs
Review: This book is really cool. I am very pleased indeed to recommend it for those studying proverbs. The author of this book, Mr. Harry Collis, is so smart. He presented a very good number of common English proverbs in a genius way of learning. It is to learn and have fun in the same time. He really wants his readers to sit down, relax, read, learn, and laugh!!!

He, first, had had his book illustrated with vary funny cartoons, which make the readers zealous to read and read. Secondly, the readers, then, will read a dialogue and within each dialogue they will learn and comprehend a proverb in the same time. Namely, both the proverb and its meaning are clearly explained inside the dialogue, not to mention, they are bolded.

I am sure that those whose mother language is not English will find studying proverbs as well as idioms is much easer than learning English vocabularies.
