Dog Days of Summer: Fun with Cliches! is a laugh-out-loud children’s book by journalist Jayne A. Pearl, based on common cliches about animals. It is beautifully and hilariously illustrated by artist Mat Bevilacqua, who makes the animals and phrases come to life by imagining a literal interpretation.

This kids’ book will amuse and inform both adult and child. The back pages, Prompts and Circumstances, provide questions adults can ask children to help them guess the meaning of each cliche, as well as definitions and origins of each saying. This will be useful and engaging for grade-school teachers and students in the classroom, in person or virtually. New English learners and their teachers will also find this book invaluable for learning English idioms they are likely to hear but not understand naturally.
