Welcome to Litsy!

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I‘ve got a brand new library book 🤩🥳🙌 The second in the “Sheep Detective” series from Leonie Swann 🐑🐑🐑🐑

Rough weekend at work so I‘m relaxing with a delicious libation and this entertaining audiobook. 🍸🎧📚💕

This was such a creative, fun read! There were a few passages that transitioned kinda rough; I‘m not sure if that‘s a result of it being translated or if that was intentional. All in all, a fun read and I can‘t wait for Book 2 to publish later this spring!! ***CORRECTED AFTER POSTING*** Pictured here are some of the main characters: Othello, Miss Maple, the flock consisting of Heather, Maude, Zora, and finally Mopple the Whale.

The first of my haul from the Barnes & Noble preorder sale arrived today #Bookmail #PerfectTiming
🤩🥳🙌

I'm shocked I haven't heard of this book until now. As a handspinner myself, I was pretty familiar with the subject matter. That said, I still learned a lot along the way. I enjoyed her writing and thoughts and reflections on the industry. And yes, this is just a fraction of my own wool stash. The grey in the middle is jacob wool that is slated to become a sweater. My daughter is going to knit it for me once I'm finished spinning it.

This was a super cute kids book about sheep dressing up and trick or treating.

Teaches children to not lie or else they will have to deal with the consequences unfortunately

“This time, when the boy cried 'Wolf!' nobody came.“

In the classroom, it can be used to teach students about the consequences of lying and the importance of building trust. This book effectively conveys themes of honesty and trustworthiness, making it a valuable tool for classroom discussions on character development and social responsibility.

This book is a retelling of the classic fable, first published in 2006. This children's picture book, categorized in the genre of folklore, received the Parents' Choice Award for its engaging illustrations and message. The story revolves around a young shepherd who repeatedly tricks villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his flock, only to be ignored when a real wolf appears.
