Welcome to Litsy!

This was an interesting book about symbols we use in writing, their history from handwritten manuscripts to modern printing, and further changes with online text. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the pilcrow, octothorpe, and manicule, all of which I also think qualify as weird words. I was not as interested in the discussion of irony and sarcasm and attempts to identify them in print.

Yo! Yo! Yes? Yes!

I think that the book is so fun for younger students because it is so silly and quick. It is a good quick attention grabber book.

The author uses a short variation on words to get his story across. Although its not real words he uses it to tell a story that makes sense. The colors the authors use are bright and powerful and make this a silly fun book.

“Hey!” “Who?” “You!” “Me?”

I love how 90s the illustrations are! I also really like the book for the simplicity, and that goes for the illustrations as well!

This book is very different from any I‘ve read. There‘s barely any words, but what words are there do tell a good story about friendship and making friends. I love how simple this book is written! It‘s fun and does actually teach kids a lesson!

I met my 2022 book goal, which I raised at some point during the year from 120. It may be the only challenge I complete this year. 🙂

The tagged children‘s book pushed me over top.

A funny punny mystery. Perfect for reading aloud.
