Welcome to Litsy!

Down to the final crunch - squeezing another in before the end of 2025.

My husband and I purchased the Lego of Endurance, the magnificent ship of Ernest Shackleton. Over several months, we meticulously assembled the ship, and we finally completed it. We are incredibly proud of our efforts and the accomplishment we have achieved. My book review of Endurance by Alfred Lansing has been updated with photos and information.

Updated Review abookandadog.com/blog/endurance?rq=endurance

Incredible! Part dystopian climate change thriller and part love story, this is really a story of motherhood and grief. I‘ve lived all of her books so far, but this may be my favorite. The ending is crazy good, and every page is intense and beautiful. Can‘t recommend it enough!

“Already I am hoping that I will be able to return next year to watch another season unfold“

Students could make a timeline of their own week or they could match pictures of the penguins throughout different periods of time to make a sequential period of time like in the story

This book was set up like a log where the researcher wrote about her experiences working with penguins in the Antarctic. It followed much of the penguins' life cycles and explored the hatching of new chicks and the migration of the adults. The information is clearly expressed with different headings for each of the days so a student could follow along throughout the year. It is a long book however so a younger child may lose interest.

I‘m so excited to finally be starting this, especially going into the weekend!

I had to wait for a library copy for-e-ver. I have high hopes!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This had some slow spots for me but when all the storylines came together it was delightful

This author is magic. I love all of her books. This one did not disappoint. She might be an autobuy for me. I don't actually buy many books so that's how much I love her.
