This energetic simile story has a surprise ending that will leave the reader happy as a clam.
Rufus the fox runs across the meadow as fast as lightning, sneaks up on Babette like a thief in the night, and roars like a lion. Babette is as mad as a hornet! But is Rufus acting as pesky as a gnat for no reason, or does he have a plan - is he crazy like a fox?
The book includes an explanation of similes and shows how to use similes in your own writing.
"The brilliantly colored digital illustrations cleverly depict the similes. . . . As welcome as springtime to teachers, aspiring writers and any who appreciate wordplay."
