Welcome to Litsy!

@WildAlaskaBibliophile usually crank the 80s and 90s country hits during road trips, and this weekend we spent Saturday in Homer. A song from this album popped up. This was an early favorite of mine; I grew up with country music from my mom and classic rock from my dad. This was one of the early country-pop crossover hits, but I think it was well-balanced. https://youtu.be/hU0nP9dcI_w

Thorough...very very thorough.

Notice the beautiful illustrations and attention to detail by Jan Brett

I am not too sure how I would choose to implement this into my classroom, but I do know that I would keep it in my classroom library for students to peruse at their leisure or would use it for a group read aloud with my students.

The book Town Mouse Country Mouse by Jan Brett is in the traditional literature genre. The colorful and lush greenery of the illustrations bring the story to life as if the two mouse couples were leaping off of the page. The book tells the story of the two couples that want to escape their everyday lives and whisk off to a getaway in the opposite mouses lives either the country or the town.

Great story for children to talk about climate change using child centered language

“But the little house grew sadder and sadder, for the trees and flowers were gone, and the country roads had become paved streets.“

Although somewhat fictionalized, this book teaches children about the changes in nature and the impact of urbanization through the life of a little house in the country.

“But time went on, and the little house could not hold back the city.”
