How does Mary Rodgers use imagery in Freaky Friday?

Imagery:

"Whoever said 'curiosity killed the cat' must have had me in mind, because when I finally pushed my way to the center of the circle, me and the dog and the five bottles of liquor, what'd I see but the blue-eyed ape himself, screaming and crying at the top of his lungs for 'Mommy.' 'I want my Mommy!' Ai-yi, I forgot to meet the bus!" Chapter 7, pgs. 47-48

"And with that, she folded her hands and placed them carefully in her lap, opened her blue eyes very wide, and stared, quite deliberately, at nobody in the room. Every kid in the world knows that trick. It's to keep you from crying." Chapter 9, pg. 83
