This book's not your average Joe. It contains so many idioms it will make your head spin. That's a plus and a minus. It doesn't go into a ton of detail. But it fills the bill if you are teaching a class with it.

Not only does this book give a definition of the idiom, it tells of the origin! With that information you can answer all the why questions you get from students. This will be a valuable resource in any intermediate classroom.
