More Illustrated English Proverbs…

This book follows on from The Early Bird, with more quizzes about traditional English proverbs. It’s for anyone with moderate cognitive impairment (or regaining reading skills after stroke). They may be able to read a sentence or two, and they’ll enjoy knowing the answers to the quiz questions and commenting on the photos. It can be fun to share with grandchildren, testing their knowledge too!

However, a lot of the value also comes from the evocative, quirky or heartwarming photographs, and the chance to have a conversation about something that doesn’t require short-term memory. A picture of ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth’ might lead to some philosophical observations! Or it might lead to reminiscence about cooking as a child, or simply comments on the delightful children in the picture being way too young to cook…

Each set of seven sayings starts with a ‘quick quiz’ page, with a missing word. You can read this aloud to your loved one (who may well supply all the missing words). If you prefer, you can say, “Let’s read on, and find out the answers…then you can test me later!”

40 pages, extra large font, in a a bright, slim, light, 8 x 10 paperback.

No reference to dementia (or other illness) anywhere inside the book, or on the cover. The back cover says simply: “Enjoy these traditional English proverbs, sayings and quizzes. Keep your mind active as you read aloud or read along!”
