This is a clever satire about an island named after a man believed to have come up with a sentence using all 26 letters in the English language. After many years, the tiles holding the letters begin to fall and the tyranny of the local government mandates these fallen letters not be used in any way. Dystopia at it‘s finest. #Pop23 ~a book your friend recommended

Ruthiella I liked this one too. It was very clever and taught me the word “crepuscular”. 6mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I really enjoyed this one, I have read it a couple of times and am always amazed at how creative Dunn was in writing this. 6mo
squirrelbrain This has been on my radar for ever - I really must get to it sometime. 6mo
Cortg @squirrelbrain it was a fun read! Something different. 6mo

Late because the Litsy app would not cooperate and let me add images last night! As an English professor, here are three of my favorite words to say out loud:
* onomatopoeia
* abecedarian
* soliloquy

Any other #TeachersOfLitsy want to chime in?

#TeamWhoYaGonnaCall Would you like to play a game? From now until October 22nd, see how many spooky, haunted, eerie, creepy words you can come up with. Take some time to let your mind wander to somber, dark, mysterious, ominous places and post your totals at the end of the game.

To be honest, I love this whole series. I love the adorable artwork. And how it introduces homophones. They‘re all so clever, and I love sharing them with my nibling.

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful Sunday, and don‘t forget to tag me on your posts!

MissyD I used this book when I taught homophones for years. 8mo
AlaMich Is that the same Fred Gwynne who played Herman Munster? You may not know the answer to this if you are under 40. 👵🏻😂 (edited) 8mo
MissyD @AlaMich why yes it is the same person who played Herman. (Which oddly enough my husband is watching that show now. 🤣) 8mo

4 ⭐Step into reading preschool and kindergarten 1999.
It is an older volume but it‘s all about how the same word can have two different meanings. All the pages are similar to “the yak yakking” meaning the animal talking. “The bear bearing” meaning the bear with no clothes. While some kids may not initially get it without a dictionary, it is a great way of showing how multiple words can mean multiple things.
