This book offers a unique collection of animal— and bird-themed idioms and proverbs, organized from A to Z, making it a treasure for language lovers. It explains that a proverb uses figurative language to teach a moral or beneficial lesson, where the literal words differ from their symbolic meaning. For example, “pull someone's leg” doesn’t mean a physical act but rather joking with someone. Idioms, on the other hand, are popular phrases that express ideas or beliefs, often using metaphors to draw comparisons, like “The pen is mightier than the sword.” While proverbs offer symbolic lessons, idioms often convey ideas directly through familiar expressions. This collection highlights the richness of language, showing how deeply animal and bird imagery is woven into our communication. Readers will find it both educational and enjoyable, gaining deeper insights into figurative language and the cultural wisdom hidden in everyday sayings.
