Super Similes and Amazing Art
This is a great book to use for teaching students about similes in a very creative way. We made our own simile books based on this one for a holiday project.

Perfect for teaching similes in elementary!
My students loved this book and created their own portraits of their teachers/friends and wrote similes to go with.

Found object art
I ordered two of Hanoch Piven's art books after I saw an exhibit of his work. Fair price and fast delivery from Amazon! Wonderful illustrations with found objects and collage.

Excellent
Kids love this book! Use it to teach similes or inspire kids to do their own collage art - of themselves, someone they know, or a character from another book.
