My son can tell you what simile is.
Because on PBS Kids Between the Shows, they have a segement on Simile, which he has memorized.
Except he says, "Symbol-y," but that just adds to the cuteness.
Anyway, imagine the following, said in full superhero announcer voice (It's a bird! It's a plane!)
It's fast as a speeding bullet!
It's powerful like a locomotive!
It uses like or as to compare two things!
It's cool as a cucumber!
Cute as a button!
It's words! It's a phrase! It's SIMILE!
