And with beautiful illustration by Mario Risso.
Enjoyable reading for non-native and native English speakers

Great book for non-English speakers
This is a great book for people from other countries who are learning English as a second language.

101 American English Proverbs
It is an excelent book. English is my second language and this book has helped me to understand how american people talks. Now I'm also using the language that american people use for the daily talks. Thanks.

Smart Way for Studying Proverbs
This book is really cool. I am very pleased indeed to recommend it for those studying proverbs. The author of this book, Mr. Harry Collis, is so smart. He presented a very good number of common English proverbs in a genius way of learning. It is to learn and have fun in the same time. He really wants his readers to sit down, relax, read, learn, and laugh!!!

He really wants his readers to sit down, relax, read, learn, and laugh!!!
He, first, had had his book illustrated with vary funny cartoons, which make the readers zealous to read and read. Secondly, the readers, then, will read a dialogue and within each dialogue they will learn and comprehend a proverb in the same time. Namely, both the proverb and its meaning are clearly explained inside the dialogue, not to mention, they are bolded.
I am sure that those whose mother language is not English will find studying proverbs as well as idioms is much easer than learning English vocabularies.
