Welcome to Litsy!

All three books have beautiful illustrations, and are a delight for kids and adults. The tagged reminds me of stories I grew up hearing from my parents. The festivals book reminds me of summer break projects that our school bestowed on us, and the book on Klint is insightful!

Finished my last book by Beth Krommes and absolutely loved everything about it. The artwork was superb as well as the fantasy tales of different creatures like fairies, gnomes, selkies, etc. Learned more about the fictional creatures and it's perfect for any age to read this book.

#JuneSpecials Day 2: This book features the village of Tos, in the remote hills of the Cameroons. In the introduction of the author, she described it as “isolated, with no paved roads closer to it than a full eight hours away. None but the most adventurous visitor would dare risk the steep and bumpy, rocky clay paths leading to the thatch-roofed village that clings to the side of an almost extinct volcano.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-Ut

“You know, I work too hard already”

I probably wouldn‘t use this within the school, just because it is a little longer of a story and there is not much of a plot, I feel like the students would enjoy reading it bu maybe independently.

The Real Story of Stone Soup by Ying Chang Compestine published in 2007 is a story that talks about the folktale about stone soup. This story tells what the true story is. Thorough this story, 3 boys go on a day fishing, when it is time for lunch they have to figure out how to cook without the pot and they make a soup from the ground. The three boys put rocks in their soup and the older man questioned it but discovered how delicious it was.

The end of the book has repetitive pages on the chain reaction that caused the owlet to get killed. Kids might have a fun time remembering and reciting the order of events.
