Slug and the Snail | Oein de Bharduin

Mehso-so

3 ⭐This book is a little odd to review, I feel two different ways about it. This book is about two brother slugs that head off on adventure, and one day get stopped by a crow asking “where is your home?“. The younger brother feels bad and off because he doesn‘t have a home while the other brother thinks the my world is my home. But the younger brother slips away from older brother and creates his own home. The two brothers are cautious of each

LibrarianRyan other because they are now different. This book reads like a Kipling Just So Story, except it‘s much sadder and has a different connotation. When I read this, I see the plight of a homeless person the argument from some that the world is their home. Or how the homeless can feel separate and different from their family. However the back of the book we learn that this is a story passed down from a Traveler. According to the book, Travelers are a 1y
LibrarianRyan nomadic tribe of Irish people. Being a story that is passed down, and the implications of the Traveler culture, that changes the story a bit. Knowing that bit at the end makes this story have two very different meanings. However, this book still feels sad. The illustrations are beautiful but this is not a story I would want to read over and over and over again. Just for the feeling left when you close the pages. 1y

Ok, so...this isn‘t book-related but I needed to share.
We spotted a *very* exclusive clubhouse on our post-post office walkabout this afternoon.

One nice thing about moving is that there are loads of new neighborhoods to explore. The sign on this treehouse-haunt really got me good. 😅

Slugs | David Greenberg

Kiddo got up just over an hour earlier than I expected (so just as I was really waking up after hubby left for work). So, after breakfast we went for a walk (#Litsywalkers I joined you today!). Courtesy of the early morning rain (a little Lightfoot there) we counted 66 slugs on our 1.25-mile walk around the neighborhood. We stopped to watch one on the move. They give me the willies, but yay for science lesson!

Kaye Good job ! Wow, you must‘ve hit the Slug Jackpot 6y
DarcysMom Wow! That is a lot of slugs. 6y

The slug is a nonfiction book that uses humor to educate students about the topic of slugs and is part of the Disgusting Critter series. Here's an article with different ways the series could be used in the classroom. I'd pair it with a traditional nonfiction for compare and contrast. https://thereisabookforthat.com/2014/10/22/nonfiction-picture-book-wednesday-lit... #UCFWalterslit

Nichdorsey02 Would like to read this book. Seems like a good way to teach students through humor and make things enjoyable. 7y

Pickpick

This is a modern fantasy book that gives the steps to teach a slug to read. I️ think this book is a great book for little ones who are beginning to read because it can apply to kids as well. I️ also think kids will get a kick out of it too. Here is a way this book could be incorporated in a class: https://jdaniel4smom.com/2013/09/simple-and-fun-reading-strategies-how.html

I witnessed two slugs mating last night...?? my forever-fiancé wasn't interested, but I couldn't help but snap a few pics. I'll probably never witness the sight again! Should I have marked this post X-rated??? #livelife #nature #slugs #whatisthat

jfalkens My husband loves stuff like that 😊 8y
Jess_Read_This I had no idea how baby slugs came to be... now I know 😂 8y
LazyLibrary @Jess_Read_This after some extensive googling the other night, I found out that all slugs are hermaphrodites! They can fertilize their own eggs. I guess every once in a while they just like to get it on😂 8y
Jess_Read_This @LazyLibrary Ha!! No way! I had no clue! No wonder I have so many of them in my flower bed. 😂 8y
RadicalReader @LazyLibrary what‘s the purple object? 7y
