“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

blurb

This story uses funny words that you just can‘t help but absolutely love it. This story is a great introduction of Alice in Wonderland to children. This poem is just as silly as the full story so it will pique kids interests and help them to explore worlds that are fantastical and have them use their imagination.

Pickpick

This poem is a nonsense poem that shows the fight of good over evil. This nonsense poem keeps the kids interested and shows them a different style of poem they may not be used to.

#Naturalitsy #Scarathlon

Hi 👋
I thought it would be fun to introduce ourselves, as there are a few names new to me. I'll also add links to the Naturalitsy posts in the comments.

I started #Naturalitsy in Aug '22, looking to connect with other nature lovers. It has been so much fun. Being outdoors is my go-to relaxation, therapy and classroom. There's always something new to learn. I'm Mum to 4 teens and live in rural Derbyshire, UK.

AllDebooks Nominations for #NaturaLitsy November and December #buddyreads This closes tomorrow for voting https://litsy.com/p/VTNXaE40U0Vx 6mo
Bookwormjillk Thank you! I love to hike and walk outside. I‘m a mom to two teenagers and we live with two cats outside Washington, DC. 6mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk 👋 Wow, I bet the scenery is stunning this time of year 😍 6mo
TheSpineView I'm an accountant, married and owned by a spoiled dog. I have a grown son, 3 step children and 11 grandchildren. I'm an Equestrian and own two horses. I still love competing and do eventing (like in the Olympics) in the lower levels. I live in Upstate SC near Clemson University. 6mo
Roary47 I am an environmental scientist turned teacher. I teach environmental and biology at a local Arizona high school. I am a mother of three young children ranging from five years to three weeks. I own a mini farm of chickens, ducks, turkeys, two dogs, and two cats. I love being in Nature, hiking biking and camping. With young children, it has been hard to be outside for too long. It is a goal when the youngest is a bit older to camp more. 6mo
TheBookHippie I‘m a Hippie, I try to live a totally altruistic life. I am literacy & reading advocate in title one schools. I love gardening and cooking from my own adapted recipes. I love to walk when I can -there‘s tons of trails where I live. I love fall and winter for its beauty. I have many birds and animals that live in or visit our backyard. I love plants. 6mo
dabbe I am a retired high school English teacher who still subs and does AP testing at my high school. I am a native Phoenician who has had enough of the heat as most of you know because I've whined enough about it. 😃 I do not have children (teaching was more than enough!), but my husband Matt and I adopted two German shepherds from Saving Paws, and they take up all our time with special needs issues. We love to hike the desert trails when we can. 💜 6mo
Bookworm54 Hi 🤗 I am a scientist (work in industry developing and manufacturing drug products for customers), live in the UK, we have a dog, and try to go nice places for dog walks though we usually stick to a similar route most weeks 🤭 we are going on a walking holiday next week and hoping to start doing a few more outdoor activities like camping! 6mo
Larkken Hello! I do forensic lab work with a focus on the human skeleton but miss fieldwork and being outside terribly. Currently attempting to make up for the lack in Nebraska by going on long walks with my dog and husband. Autumn is my favorite time, but my dog loves winter. The cat is an indoor beast to save the birds from the Murder. I am a poor gardener but enjoy trying. 6mo
AllDebooks @TheSpineView an Equestrian life sounds exciting 😊 6mo
AllDebooks @Roary47 Awww babies 😍you must have your hands full with a 3 week old. I love the sound of your small holding. Sounds perfect😊 6mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie sounds a blissful life. Plants ate my other obsession, just don't tell the books 🫣😍 6mo
AllDebooks @dabbe I adore German Shepards, gorgeous dogs. My Sister has one and he's a big old softie 😍 6mo
AllDebooks @Bookworm54 ohhhh how lovely, wishing you a fab holiday x 6mo
AllDebooks @Larkken I love Autumn too, the colours are incredible 😍 6mo
SamAnne Thank you @AllDeBooks for organizing #NaturalLitsy ! I recently ended an environmental advocacy career working in forest, fisheries, river protection. My sweetie and I love hiking & floating rivers/lakes in the PNW U.S. Am completely attached to a border collie named Jackson. Treated for breast cancer this past year and that has shaken up my life priorities. More time outside! Reducing obligations that keep me from adventures! 6mo
yourfavouritemixtape Hi, I am a sports-journalist, live in Switzerland and have a small daughter. Nature fascinate me. I have a mini-garden on my balcony and live next to a wildlife-park. 6mo

As my next read is the tagged book, or I should say re-read, I was put in mind of Lewis Caroll for #weirdwords Specifically one of my favorite poems of all time, including one of my all-time favorite nonce words coined by Caroll: vorpal sword. Jabberwocky, alongside Carroll's other works, is a treasure trove of great words, as this article shows:

CBee YES! A favorite of mine as well 💚 10mo
Aimeesue I had to memorize this in HS, and still recite it frequently. “Snicker-snack” makes me laugh. 😂 10mo

vivastory @Aimeesue I was bored at work once & I memorized it lol. For some reason the lines that have always stuck with me is, “'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves/ Did gyre and gimble in the wabe“ I find myself muttering it under my breath sometimes when I'm stuck in traffic 😂 10mo
Centique Yes! I only memorised the first paragraph but I‘ve said it so often that the whole family will say “‘‘twas brillig” and someone else will provide the rest of it. 😂😂 There is something about saying it out loud that just sounds good to my ears. 10mo
vivastory @Centique I agree about it being pleasant sounding! It's such a blast to read aloud. I know that tomorrow morning I will be “galumphing back“ for a second cup of coffee lol 10mo
vivastory @Centique I also remember reading the following yrs ago, about a ghost haunting the wrong house & thought it was a lot of fun
10mo
Centique @vivastory I haven‘t read that one. I will look for it! 10mo
