Here's what reviewers have had to say about the Scholastic Dictionary of Idioms:
"Terban explains the meanings and origins (if known) of more than 600 idioms and proverbs in this intriguing book." — Booklist
"Reference tools may be a dime a dozen in this dog-eat-dog world, but here's a soup-to-nuts dictionary of colloquialisms that doesn't beat around the bush... a useful (and perhaps unique) resource for kids baffled by the intricacies of the English language."
— The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"From 'ace up your sleeve' to 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks,' this introduction to idiomatic phrases, sayings, and expressions is clear and easy to use."
— School Library Journal
