Welcome to Litsy!

My next audiobook for #letterK #Christmasatoz #xmaschacha #wintergames @StayCurious #littenlisten @aperfectmjk #serieslove @TheSpineView

Another gentle read with Mma Ramotswe and company. Mr. JLB Matekoni tries his hand at taking on a case with surprising results. Miss Makutsi considers changing jobs. Mr. JLB Matekoni‘s feckless apprentice, Charlie, also strikes out on his own as a taxi driver. Mma Ramotswe solves three mysterious deaths at a hospital in her hometown of Mochudi. Pure comfort!

My first completed #ChristmasCrimeChallenge book.

#WhereAreYouMonday

This week finds me back in Botswana 🇧🇼 with Mma Ramotswe. I‘m only in the first chapter, so I don‘t know where the story will go, but I know I‘m in capable hands.

Also reading this for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

What
Interest have zebras in
Leather tethers or
Dusty saddles?

Since only
The wind
Reins
In their
Power, and sun so
Easily
Straddles.

This book also features pictures of wildlife scenes from Africa to accompany the poems.

A book of acrostic poems about African animals/nature. This would be a good introduction or reference to this form of poetry. It may engage students who have a previous interest in animals!

“By this time Noko was very tired and very hungry indeed. But his brain was as sharp as the quills on his back. He could see from the villagers' sleek coats and rounded bellies that they were lying. He knew they had food. But how was he going to get some?“

I really liked the illustrations. This feels like a classic folk tale, with crafty characters and morals.

Noko the porcupine comes into a new village as a stranger, looking for food. To trick the greedy villagers into sharing their food, he created quill soup. In the end, they all share a delicious soup with everyone's food.
