| Publisher Description: The Children's Guide To Things People Say (But Don't Really Mean) is all about idioms / sayings / expressions / metaphors / phrases used in the UK. It contains example scenarios illustrating their use for children, and also a few places to colour in pictures and draw your own. It is suitable for children roughly 7-10 years old. Fiona was inspired to write this book, following her first book 'The Children's Guide To Autism', because autistic people can find it particularly hard when people don't say exactly what they mean. All children will find this book a useful introduction to things commonly said and it uses example scenarios appropriate to situations a child might find themselves in and understand. From the back cover: Don't take it literally Did you know that people say lots of things that they don't really mean but that aren't lies? They are almost like talking in a secret code, and this book will help you to decipher that code and understand what people really mean when they're talking. |
