Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
This dictionary of animal metaphors presents definitions for metaphors currently used in the English language: it provides a comprehensive reference and includes other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, along with dates for first appearance and an alphabetical organization by metaphor. Enjoy a fine dictionary which packs in excellent explanations.

Review
“The strength of the volume is its arrangement alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal. Recommended for academic collections.”–Choice
“This volume, with its nearly 3,000 entries, is a dictionary of animal metaphors, arranged by metaphor rather than by animal. A good introduction to the idea of searching out linguistic origins, as a ready-reference or for stimulating students' curiosity about language.”–School Library Journal
“Beyond its value to linguists, the dictionary makes for interresting and diverting general reading. It owes much of its attractiveness to the personality of the writer, who conveys his information in a lively, down-to-earth way, assurance and good humor.”–ARBA
