I made this series as a follow on from a previous post I made a few years back. Some of these illustrations are brand new to the collection while others have been given a fresh new look. I hope these can help people who are learning the English language and that this can be a fun way to learn some of the funny expressions that are used on a daily basis.

    I've usually heard it as "tempest in a teacup" -- but that might be a Britishism. It's pretty rare. People are more likely to say "Make a mountain out of a mole hill."
