This book made me Google lemmings, and now I'm fascinated by what I thought I knew but didn't know.

QUIZ:
Do lemmings have
a. fur
b. feathers

Are lemmings
c. suicidal
d. cannibalistic

RaeLovesToRead I'm not sure, but if the videogame is anything to go with they wear little hats and can operate drills 1y
mandarchy @RaeLovesToRead video game? I need to Google harder 😅 1y

One thing I learned is why I speed up my audio books, we process words faster than people talk. When we speak to someone in person we are listening & reading their body/facial language too so that will fill our brains but with an audio book or podcast it‘s just the sound. Our brains can wander without more input. As a fast reader, I find normal audio speed torture. I really enjoyed this, some tricks to hear what kids are saying between the lines

IndoorDame Fascinating! I‘m forever adjusting the speed when I start a new audiobook, but I always assumed it was differences in narration style and subject matter that made my mind wander at different speeds. Lack of sensory input makes so much sense! 1y
mcctrish @IndoorDame I was so happy when I figured out I could change the speed, I always wanted to fall asleep when I listened before 🤣 1y
IndoorDame @mcctrish same! Epic reading discovery moment! 1y
kspenmoll This is fascinating. Maybe that's why I have mine on a slower speed! 1y
mcctrish @kspenmoll I LOVE to listen to non-fiction but there are always a couple of parts where I just want to go back over them with a highlighter 🤣🤣 (edited) 1y

KathyWheeler @mcctrish I don‘t understand your oldest. When it gets colder, I could have soup every night for dinner and be happy. 😊 1y
mcctrish @KathyWheeler he thinks it‘s lunch food 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ and I‘m with you ( my youngest, who is at uni in Toronto, would eat it everyday almost year round ) 1y
mcctrish @Tamra a perfect ending to this day 1y
KathyWheeler @mcctrish my husband is like your youngest. He has no concept of seasonal foods. 1y
Tamra Soup is for all meals & all seasons! I could eat it everyday. 😋 1y

This is a great story to help teach the students about character development, what changes he made, and the meaning behind perseverance.

Humpty Dumpty Climbs again talks about the after affect about what happened to Humpty Dumpty after his great fall. Even though he had the great fall and never wanted to climb a wall again, there was a crisis and Humpty helped rescue a horse by climbing the wall to save the day. This book displayed very strong character development for both Humpty and the great men.

Ok, my wonders-full Litsarians, how ARE we all today? I endured listening to some hack of a sportsdude yapping about how overrated ThE AmaZinG GOAT Serena was going to lose tonight. BUT, ahem. She won. And somehow, unrelated to sports, I find myself on this last day of August, bewildered abt my #BookSpinBingo. Did I win August?! I read my Spin (in orange: The Sum of Us 👍) #Bingo!! Row5!
