Welcome to Litsy!

7 years! Thanks to all the amazing Litsy members who make this community a wonderful place to be. Coincidentally this also means my book club is 7 years old as @DebbieGrillo introduced me to Litsy at our first meeting ♡.

“It was raining cats and dogs, and the king was in the rain.”

Teachers can use "The King Who Rained" to introduce students to idioms and figurative language in a fun and engaging way. After reading, students can create their own playful interpretations of phrases, fostering creativity and deeper understanding of language.

This is a whimsical exploration of language and wordplay that delights young readers. Through clever illustrations and humorous scenarios, the book creatively plays with idioms and expressions, making it both entertaining and educational. Gwynne's unique approach encourages children to think about language in a fun way. It's a fantastic resource for fostering creativity and sparking discussions about the meanings of words.

I love these posts! What can you think of?

This book is perfect for young children to look at and get lost in their imagination.

Time flies is a book about a bird flight through prehistoric and present times. Images in this picture book jump from dinosaur bones to actual dinosaurs.

A quote I loved from this book is “Friends are always there for you to lean on.“ I love this because it's so true and really shows children the value of friendship.

I would use this book in my classroom to discuss friendship and shapes. To use it for shapes, I would use this with young children to introduce shapes and what we know about them. I would allow them the opportunity to find these shapes around the classroom.

Friendshape by Amy Rosenthal was published in 2015. The book discusses friendship through colors and shape. The illustrations are easy for young children to see and they can make connections to items that have seen with the same shape.
