Super Silly Sayings: Learning About Hyperbole!

Hello, Super Readers! Today we are going to learn about 'Hyperbole'! That's a big word for saying things in a super silly, super exaggerated way! It's when you stretch the truth to make something sound much bigger, smaller, faster, or slower than it really is. For example, 'I'm so hungry I could eat a whole horse!' We know you can't really eat a whole horse, but it makes us understand how hungry someone is! Read each sentence and decide if it's a super silly hyperbole or just a normal sentence. Have fun!
