pickLucy Cooke‘s sense of humor and approach to nonfiction storytelling brings me so much joy! Her narraration evokes “Nigel Thornberry” and I can hear the twinkle in her eye through her voice. I was delighted by the interesting animal facts, but the historical context was harder for me to latch onto. It was hard to hear about cruel animal experimentation. 3⭐️ 🎧
so-soI really tried to like this book. It‘s about animals and I love animals. The messaging was wonderful and debunked a lot of myths I held. However, I listened to the audiobook and I found the readers voice very grating. It also felt like the prose within a chapter jumped from story to story with nothing connecting the messaging. Overall, I enjoyed the content and that‘s what got me through the book. (I had to check it out 3 times)
⭐️⭐️ (2/5 stars)
pickWhile reading Squirrel and Sloth in a Pickle to my students, I realized we didn't have a book about sloths in my library. And to my horror, some of the students did not know what a sloth was. Honestly, I thought they were Ringo Starrs with algae. I didn't know what they ate or how they pooed (thanks book, now I do (awk. pun)). We need this book. I'm putting it on my shopping list.
Really tired the last few days; the radiation is starting to really affect me. All I can do these days is just watch TV and play games on my laptop; reading just takes too much effort at the moment. #cancersucks
pickCute photos and timely reminders to slow down and be you.
pickSo…as sad as this makes me, I didn‘t love the text. I don‘t have kids, so maybe it would go over better with them. However, I absolutely LOVE Blythe‘s artwork. Her style is one of my favorites and I‘d reread this just to look at the pictures.
