I was amazed at the number of idioms that were crammed into this story, one on almost every page.
The trope of confusing figures of speech is not new, as it forms the plot line for all of the Amelia Bedelia stories, and The King Who Rained.
However, confining the selection of idioms to a single topic (wide-ranging as that turned out to be), is a notable feat, and the illustrations are very amusing. ( )

Pretty cute book that explains idioms, Christmas-related and others, with illustrations and words, in a Christmas context. ( )
