The first thing you need to know about Fred Benenson is that he is also the author of Emoji Dick. The first emoji-only book in the Library of Congress, Emoji Dick retells Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick in emojis. If that sounds like fun to you, you will enjoy Benenson's How to Speak Emoji.Personally, I'm not all that entertained by the use of emojis. I'm sure that's because I am a middle-aged fuddy-duddy. A quick peek at my teenage sons' text messages would tell me that it's probably a generational thing. They love them. However, they don't use them as creatively and articulately as Benenson does. The book is chock full of common phrases and sayings that one can use immediately. It will also serve as inspiration for emoji-lovers to expand their repertoire.Benenson's emoji phrases are certainly clever. For most of them, I was happy that he had a translation handy. I guess that's part of the fun; send these emojis to your friends, and see if they can figure out exactly what you're trying to say.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

How to Speak Emoji by Fred Benenson is as neat as they come. I can definitely see this book being a hit with readers like me who only know basic emojis. After reading this book, I no longer have to forward texts to my son for translation.**Advanced copy graciously provided by NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for an honest review**

Using this as a guide, I have found that I can come up with some really hilarious observations and comments!!

The book came in excellent condition! Was perfect for my co-worker's birthday.
