Me, Me, Me
Me, Me, Me: How William Playfair Invented Graphs | Annika Dunklee
7 posts | 1 read
When best friends Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne learn their school will be having a talent show, Annie says they should enter as an all-girl singing group. Her friends are all in --- until Annie tries to force everyone to go along with her choice of song, costumes, band name and lead singer. When Lillemor and Liliane tell Annie they've had enough of her ?me, me, me? attitude, the band splits up, with Annie intent on performing solo. But it doesn't take long for her to realize it's just not the same without her friends. Can Annie find a way to make things right before it's too late? Annika Dunklee's trio of multicultural friends will charm and delight young children with their true-to-life relationships and spot-on dialogue, while Lori Joy Smith's irresistible art brings a playful humor to the girls and their enthusiasm. Annie, the lovable, perfectly imperfect girl, will have readers rooting for her as she struggles to find her way to doing the right thing. With its positive, non-preachy approach, this book could easily spark conversations about friendships and dealing with hurt feelings. With select words in French and Swedish included in the story (with translations) as well as other details sprinkled throughout that illustrate the girls' different backgrounds, this makes a terrific title for exploring other cultures in social studies classes. And the intriguing idea of a talent show shines a light on the performing arts and creativity within a school setting.

LauraBeth #12 is ❤️ 7y

Erinreadsthebooks @Bookzombie My husband was attached by a deer when he was in high school. Had the horn been an inch over, it would've killed him. Deer are very cute little vicious creatures 🦌 7y
Bookzombie @LauraBrook 😁 Sometimes a potty mouth is such a stress reliever. 7y
Bookzombie @merelybookish @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I'm not sure how old I was, but we visited family that had deer at the back of their property. My adult cousin had taken us out to see the baby deer, but we couldn't find it. The adults went inside and told me not to go through the gate on my own. I didn't listen. I went out the gate. The momma deer came out of nowhere, rearing up and bring its hooves down on me. I scrambled back through the gate. Cont. 👇🏻 7y
Bookzombie I stopped crying and tried to make myself presentable since I hadn't listened. I went inside and sat next to my mom acting like nothing had happened. She looked over at me and asked me what had happened. I had a huge red mark near my eye and turns out my back was pretty marked up. So basically be careful with momma deers. 😂 @MicheleinPhilly I didn't really watch GG so I don't know. 😬 (edited) 7y
Bookzombie @Seekingtardis I process claims for an insurance company. 7y
Bookzombie @LauraBeth @Smangela Thanks! He is a sweetie. 7y
Bookzombie @Erinstutts Oh wow, that's crazy. I was lucky that only the hooves were involved. I still think deer are cute just never want to be near one again. 🙂 7y
batsy Love the picture and a potty mouth is an essential tool to cope with life 😁 7y
Bookzombie @batsy Thank you! It is an essential tool. 🙂 7y
readordierachel Being alone can be so great sometimes. Also, this picture is the best! 7y
Bookzombie @ReadOrDieRachel Thank you! ☺️ 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Woah!! That's scary! I can't believe you weren't even going to say anything at first. You were a brave child! 7y
Bookzombie @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I don't think it was about being brave, I thought I would get in trouble for doing what they said not to do. 😂 7y
SconsinBookyBadger Nice to meet a fellow night owl 🦉 btw this photo is awesome! 7y

wellreadredhead I'm a plant killer too. I've killed multiple cacti 😩 7y
LectricSheep What's the story behind #4? 🤔 7y
Leigh0906 @LectricSheep I was a historic interpreter at Tryon Palace, a state historic site that focuses on colonial history. I learned a ton of skills such as hearth cooking/baking, hand quilting & embroidery, candle making, colonial games, fabric dyeing, and knitting. The only one I'm any good at though is the knitting 😝 7y

saguarosally Re:#20 is it safe to go around you? 7y
alisiakae #4 is interesting! And I agree about not being artistic - I wish I could draw, but I specialize in stick people. 😆 7y
Leigh0906 @saguarosally you're safe as long as you aren't a plant. 😉 7y
saguarosally @Leigh0906 Well, saguaro...🌵😱 7y
Leigh0906 @saguarosally it was just a tiny cactus! I've only killed one- you should probably worry more about @collegecatlady 😝 7y

charissharpe Two tattoos, not sure I could manage another one now, I think my pain threshold has plummeted 😂 I used to have my stomach pierced & have had my nose done twice, it's healed over but am considering getting it done again, third times the charm?! 7y
Kristy_K @Suetara That's my friend's favorite scene. :) 7y
Kristy_K @conversationswithcharis Definitely! I use to have to repierce my ears a lot. I hope my pain threshold doesn't diminish; I love tattoos too much lol! 7y
Suetara @Kristy_K Mine too, followed closely by the leather pants one. Weird how I'm not really a Ross fan, but he is in 2 of my favorite scenes. 7y

The girls are back and learning that me me me is more than a vocal warm up. Friendship involves everyone being a part and not just one person getting all the good stuff. A good book for the series.
