To be honest, I love this whole series. I love the adorable artwork. And how it introduces homophones. They‘re all so clever, and I love sharing them with my nibling.

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful Sunday, and don‘t forget to tag me on your posts!

MissyD I used this book when I taught homophones for years. 7mo
AlaMich Is that the same Fred Gwynne who played Herman Munster? You may not know the answer to this if you are under 40. 👵🏻😂 (edited) 7mo
MissyD @AlaMich why yes it is the same person who played Herman. (Which oddly enough my husband is watching that show now. 🤣) 7mo

I can‘t stand 1st person narrative most of the time. Mainly because it comes off as immature and a lot of tell and no show. There‘s a reason English teachers get picky about it😂 It just ends up sounding choppy and I can‘t get invested in the story. I‘ve only read a few books where the author pulls it off but mostly I find it annoying and avoid it.

BookmarkTavern First person is a real hit and miss for me! There‘s so much that can ruin it. Thank you for posting! 11mo
CoverToCoverGirl I‘m with you on first person narrative. I find very few authors pull it off successfully. Diana Gabaldon is one of the very few who does it well. 11mo

I ordered this sight unseen. It looked cute! Read it for the 1st time #outloud to a group of kindergarteners while a couple of teachers were in the room. I got a little nervous on this page. I mean, Are you There God? It's me, Mandy... just reading this puberty 😳 analogy to your kids, nothing to it. Why are we so uptight? I'm asking you, 🇺🇸. I blame the puritans. The author is 🇨🇦. Canadians aren't weired about this stuff.

Callahan's Secret | Spider Robinson

So many interlibrary loan stickers I had to improvise to get the cover art and title in the same space! I think Spider Robinson's shortest works are his best. This particular collection has 2 novelettes, one novella and one short story. I appreciate what was done in the novella but it felt like too much even for the space alloted. Still love the endless creativity and compassion of Callahan's!

Robotswithpersonality P.S. This was written in the 80s by someone who started this series in the 70s, some of the language/opinions reflect this. 😬 2y

"Nobody wants to pay what honest materials cost nowadays, nobody wants to wait as long as true Quality requires..."

Honestly, the fact that this was written in the EIGHTIES, and rings even truer today is what gets me. ?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fascinating history of the pun, the place it holds historically, and how it shaped cultures.
It took me longer than anticipated to finish but I'm glad I did.
