Welcome to Litsy!

The other day I went to the bank for some cash, and a spider landed on my arm. 😮

Just minding my own
A spider landed on me
I screamed like a girl

Such a perfect cute picture book. Our main character is a paperboy and one day the news states that the wishing well is broken. The townspeople are up in arms about it and the boy goes to investigate the well. What happens after that is pure gold. The artwork is adorable and love the story.

This poem can be used during Halloween time to fit the fall and scary theme! This book can also be used to teach the moral lesson of “stranger danger“.

The Spider and the Fly is a poem that was written by Mary Howitt in 1829. This classic poem is about a spider that manipulates a fly into its trap with twisted words. At the end of the poem, the spider heeds a warning to the children who are reading to not be tricked by the words of strangers.

This book was my favorite growing up. A little macabre, maybe. A cautionary tale, particularly for young women and girls.

Meet Abigail. Her and Agatha‘s joined our family on Tuesday. We have been preparing for them for weeks and I went down the rabbit hole learning as much as I could. They are Giant bark jumping spiders, but are as big as my pinky nail! Jumpers are the most intelligent arachnids, have dream cycles (as per a Harvard study), have the number recognition of a toddler, and recognise voice vibrations. I am in love with her.

And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.
