Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss 425 TRU

This is a pretty cute book about how important it is to use commas correctly. It shows some good examples of when commas are used incorrectly and it changes the entire meaning of the sentence. Make sure you pay attention to those commas!

Sayings and Phrases You Let the Cat Out of the Bag(And other Crazy Animal Sayings) by Cynthia Klingel428 KLI
I knew most of the crazy animal sayings. The one I don't agree with is the last one. White Elephant. I agree that it is an object that is worth nothing or is useless but the book said that it is often something you get or give as a gift. The gifts I get are not White Elephants and I would not consider a gift I gave to be one either.
I was hoping it would tell me where the sayings originated or how it got started.

Forgotten English by Jeffrey Kacirk 422 KAC

This was a cool book. It has lots of weird words no one uses anymore. BUT it would be fun to call a guy Prickmedainty when he's dressed in hip hop clothes. You have to read the book to know what the word means!

Monkey Business by Edward Wallace 428 Edw

It isn't easy being a bull in a china shop. It isn't reading this book. This book is about funny sayings. It's better to show your true colors. It seemed a little off the wall.
