Wallace Edwards, the award-winning author of Alphabeasts, is back - and this time he's up to some monkey business! The newest creation of his weird and wonderful imagination is a brilliant collection of illustrated idioms. From "let the cat out of the bag" to "snug as a bug in a rug," these familiar sayings are reimagined in hilarious and unexpected ways. To help readers stay "on the ball," the idioms are used in a sentence that accompanies each illustration - and the meaning of each idiom is explained at the end of the book. But the fun doesn't stop there. Readers will go ape when they discover the monkey in each lavishly illustrated page. A playful introduction to idioms, a clever eye-spy book and a gallery of stunning animal portraits, this collection is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
