REVIEWS
Reviewed by Lisa McCombs from Readers Favorite:
"Don't Let the Cat Out of the Bag in The Leave It to Beamer series, written and illustrated by Clay Boura, is a delightfully creative explanation of the frightful confusion of our English language. Idioms such as “don’t let the cat out of the bag,” “go out on a limb,” “leave you in stitches,” and “head over heels” are more properly illustrated by Beamer’s “off the top of his head” narratives. As a former English teacher, this reviewer is well aware of the unfairness of the conformities of our language. Idioms can be fun, though, if presented in a creative manner as Clay Boura has proven.

This is an outstanding book, the illustrations are beautiful and eye catching for a child to say the least. Here is how I plan on using the series as a parent.
1. Teaching creative and abstract thinking. I think the lessons contained in the pages help parents teach kids that language is a tool, and that words can have different meanings so it is important to look at the underlying purpose of statements
2. Emotional IQ. If you understand the meaning behind words, or how people are using them to describe situations and especially influence other people, make sure it passes your value system before allowing it to affect the value systems you already have in place. An unfortunate thing I see in people my age is inability to think for themselves, and over reliance on media sources for opinions. I don't believe this is a good thing, and this book series helps build a foundation for checks and balances.
My thanks to the author

It is such an imaginative way of exploring the meaning of words and phrases. The pictures make it a lot of fun too. I actually can't wait for the next book to see which idiom Beamer tackles next! I definitely recommend this book -- kids love it!
