This is a collection of my writing and correspondence with a few bits of poetry and random thoughts mixed in. I started this blog after learning that some of my letters had an uplifting quality.
In the pages of this blog you will find my real life trials and tribulations, the nature of what I think is truth, and the dust and grit of my real life.
'Strawberry Bullfrog: Fun with Compound Words' by Laura
Hambleton and Sedat Turhan is a book that gives you the basic idea of the concept of compound words. It gives you the idea that compound words are made from other words and that they may not be the some of those words. After that, this is a book with bright colors and fun images, but not much in the way of substance. This is a great book for preschoolers with it's simple idea and direct information. All in all, this is a good book for very young children who still have trouble reading. Who should read this book? Preschool children Books Read: 103 of 5000
'Telling Tails: Fun with Homonyms' by Laura Hambleton and
Sedat Turhan is a book about homonyms that shows words in the wrong context and how not to use them. This is an interesting choice for an author and it forces the parent to read the book with their child a point out the problems with each page. The correct ways of using the words is in back. Now the pictures are fun in this book, and I think children will like reading it, but they will be learning the wrong way of doing things. Who should read this book? Supervised Children Books read: 81 of 5000
'Monkey Business: Fun with Idioms' by Laura Hambleton and Sedat Turhan is a book that shows you a bunch of idioms and like
many books of its nature where the answers are in the back after you read the idioms. This is an educational book with no story that would be best used to inform people who speak another language about the odd points of English. Who should read this book? Folks having trouble with idioms. Books read: 79 of 5000
