"Whale Sentence Structure" or "Whale Sentence Pattern"

A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.

This sentence is used to explain the concept of "comparison" in English grammar and it very very famous among only English learners in Japan.I think that teaching comparison is good. But, learners need to master sentences like these below before the sentence above:

Her hands were as cold as ice.

My wife earns as much money as you.

My boyfriend is much younger than me.

More and more people from Europe live in Tokyo.
