Welcome to Litsy!

My father passed away this fall and this was a gift from our employees. My husband and I, along with my brother continue to run the weekly newspaper that my dad had worked at since he was 16. We bought it from him 20 years ago but he maintained an “office” in our building until his death at 85. Newspaper, ink and words were in his blood ❤️💔 I can‘t wait to see and read this on our town‘s story walk.

“Someone had put my desk in a torakku . The torakku drove me right to the szkola”

I enjoyed the font and illustrations in this story. Each of the made up words were in a different color to place emphasis on them. The aliens looked very odd which was entertaining as well, and easy to tell they are aliens.

This is a story about an alien that is late for class because encountered many different inconveniences that are things that are made up words in our world, but they are real things in the alien world. He has to explain all of this to his teacher so that he does not receive life long detention.

I just read this very cute picture book about a #skeleton who gets scared thinking two witches want to have him for dinner. 15 points for #TeamMonsterMash genre + 210 points for the #ScarathlonWordSearch 💀💀

It‘s hard to see in the upper left but I work for a local food distribution company & one of the trucks was parked next to my car & the driver‘s “helper” was left inside the cab.💀

“Some of his simplest words were his most powerful.“

The word collector is a great book to encourage students to expand their vocabulary knowledge and how to apply it to every day life.

An element of design that I noticed in this book dealt with the composition. Throughout the story, the illustrator displays Jerome's book of words and the categories that they fall into. One page dealt with shot words, two-syllable words, multi-syllable words, etc. It also shows how he shared his knowledge with others as well.

Moved to a smaller house (near peaceful sea & woods) so have to sort & store son‘s books in bookcases in different rooms. Realize how blessed we are that family give us books & that we can buy books for our son. #blessed #booksarebestgifts
