Welcome to Litsy!

Such a cute book! The beast is very gentle and loves to eat vegetables but his parents state he's needs to be a mean beast and sends him to the beast brutish school. What happens when he goes to school? Does he become a mean beast? Wonderful graphics and adorable story.

Boy, this book is sure dated. As an educator, I am glad that we have come a long way from the type of bullying that happened in the book. Well, at least in the schools around my area have made progressed. The meaness of the young characters didn't surprised me, but the behavior of the adults at the school did. It was a decent read. Not my favorite of Judy Blumes, though.

Banned Book Edition

All welcome

Yes I know this is currently author a month didn‘t know that when I put out schedule in October of 2024

One of my most beloved Judy Blume moments with students happen when I read this book with or aloud to students of ALL AGES. They ADORE it. In my 36 years of volunteering at the public school I have never found this book in any school library.

What a tricky character that Sharon is! 🤣

Cute lil children‘s book on the principal of the grass is always greener. As a person with a lot of freckles, I‘d be ready for that magic remover, too. 😆 #AuthorAMonth

Again, very cute.
It would be very tiring trying to keep track of the huge Sohma family! But they are very welcoming.

I am trying to piece together who everyone‘s parents are from the original, but I‘m not having much luck 😂

A super cute start to this series.
Very mysterious but no one is turning into zodiac animals, so I am interested in what makes the family so popular/intriguing in this generation.

“An incredibly sparkly boy has appeared!” 🤣

Wild how much has changed (and stayed the same) for elementary age kids since this was published. It made me cringe, chuckle, wince, and desperately wonder where were the adults. 🫣 #AuthorAMonth
