Thank you @Pogue for the book and chocolate for #JolabokaflodSwap24! It‘s perfect; it sounds so intriguing! And I cannot wait to try the chocolate! And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting again!

MaleficentBookDragon Happy Jólabókaflóð! That book intrigues me yet scares me. I feel it might wreck me. 20h
Pogue I am glad that you like it. I hope that you enjoy the book. 12h
Texreader @MaleficentBookDragon @Pogue To be honest, the book scares me too. As much as I was intrigued I don‘t think I ever would‘ve gotten it for myself. So I‘m super happy I got it for Christmas because I think I‘ll love it while it will wring emotions from me. It sounds like a movie I watched with Mom as a child called Ssssnake in which a man turned into a snake and it scared the bejeezus out of me and I‘ll never forget it. It has that vibe. 😬 9h
Texreader @MaleficentBookDragon @Pogue Mom and I had no idea how scary the movie would be so she let me watch it. There is an image that will forever live rent-free in my brain. Here‘s the synopsis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sssssss 9h

This book is perfect for teaching about metamorphosis and the importance of insects in nature. Students can use the book to create their own diagrams or life-cycle charts of other animals. It can also inspire a hands-on project, like raising caterpillars and observing their transformation.
