Assuming it stayed fairly accurate to true life, the parents and family of Helen sure didn‘t help, as they just gave in her tantrums, feeling badly because she was unable to understand why they might deny her what she wanted. It‘s short, but it has made me want to read more, probably nonfiction. I liked that there was a broad continuation at the end of the book that quickly explained more of Helen and Annie‘s lives together.

Dear #teachersoflitsy English High School especially

So Tic Tok apparently says Helen Keller never existed … anyone else getting this from students ……😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

How come I only discovered this picture book today? I would have loved it when I was little (completely hypothetical - I'm basically the same age as Gaiman). I'll try it on the grandchild...

#URC prompt “blind author.“

I was reading There Plant Eyes for this prompt (I wanted fiction but couldn't find anything easily obtainable) and it gave me a yen to read this, a book which is largely a defense of a deaf-blind person's right to use language and have an imagination. You can feel Keller's frustration, even as she tries to maintain a positive outlook -- no one is interested in what she has to say unless it's about her disability.

I like this series, but again, I skipped over the sex scenes. Guys, together is not my thing. I also find the banter cbild like and immature. The love story itself is good. I'm not sure if this is the end of the series, but I will end it here. I did get a spot on #NovemberISpyBingo @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks and #RushAthon @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

“Three Blind Mice“ is a traditional nursery rhyme because it uses almost all repetition and rhyme to tell a humorous story to young children.

“All the luggage they took was a comb“ I picked this quote because it is part of the story that rhymed.

Although this story is a classic, I don't think that it is appropriate for younger children. I think this story would be great for middle school and higher to talk about the literary devices and the deeper meaning behind the mice.
