Anyone else disappointed that Goodreads isn't including a #kidlit category in their annual Reader's Favourites Books of 2025.

Lost opportunity - because there are LOTS of great kidlit books - don't you think?

When you're working on a WIP - do you just save to your desktop or do you save to your desktop AND save to the cloud for double back-up?

What a brilliant book idea!

✨The magical mind of @carolynfisher.bsky.social
has turned measuring (& its arbitrary conventions)
into delight and play.✨

🐋 So freakin' clever. 🦕

Plus, AWESOME backmatter:
There IS a 1 cm species of centipede! (I was skeptical.)
And I love donkey power! (Units!)

📚👍🏼

Cover of the picture book I'm Longer Than You: An Epic Contest of Measurement by Carolyn Fisher. A cartoon blue whale and supersaurus share a red speech bubble with the title in it.

Q. Is there a way to buy a Canadian Indie bookshop gift card that could be used at any local bookshop?

Is bookshop.org the best choice?

Trying to brainstorm how to host a book giveaway without giving away an Amazon gift card...

Read the book and then enjoy the word search for added discussion (and I'm open to author Q & As too!).

Literacy activity

What's the S.C.O.O.P? Helps kids retell a story (promotes comprehension, vocabulary development, memory and attention skills).

Ice cream scoops are the perfect visual to "layer" the retelling of a story.

PDFs available
