Jude Welton looks at one hundred of the most common figures of speech in this visual workbook designed as a springboard for family and classroom discussions. Each figure of speech is accompanied by an illustration showing its literal meaning, which will help Asperger's syndrome children to recognize and learn to enjoy metaphors and figurative language. Teachers can also use this book as the bases for classroom work on figurative language.

Just what I needed to work on this with one of my students- simple and practical. Saved me a lot of time.
