Description:
Have you ever wondered why we say, "It's raining cats and dogs" and other funny old sayings like, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"? Often we know what they mean, but do we know where they originated?
Well in this book, you are about to find out!
For example, when we want to wish someone a good nights sleep, people often say, "Night night, sleep tight." Who would have thought that this dates back to Shakespeare's time, when mattresses were secured onto a bed frame by ropes. In order to make the bed firmer and more comfortable, people would have to pull on the ropes to tighten the mattress and hence the saying came about.
This delightful book is full of well known sayings, beautifully matched with fun and original illustrations, which will make you laugh out loud. Part of the fun is seeing whether you can guess the saying just from looking at the picture.
