[LM_NET] Hit: teaching figurative language with picture books

[Susan Overton <overtonsb@MAIL1.VCU.EDU>]

Thanks to all.

USING PICTURE BOOKS TO TEACH LITERARY DEVICES from Oryx
Press would be a
good resource to begin with.
-----

alliteration - Some smug slug / by Pamela Duncan Edwards
; illustrated by
Henry Cole
-----

Little Loon and Papa by Toni Buzzeo
uses Onomatopoeia.

Dawdle Duckling by Toni Buzzeo
uses Alliteration.

Here's a good link for figurative language too, with
plenty of other
embedded
links!
