My kids and I like playing a game where we create a map, taking turns drawing different landmarks one at a time until the paper is full. Behold the Kingdom of West Hyrule!

Play this game with your kids today, it’s very fun. (:

Finished this yesterday. It could very well be the strangest, quirkiest book I’ve ever read. In a good way!

Just picked up a used copy of Lizard Music by Daniel Pinkwater! I know I read this as a kid but don’t remember much, so I’m excited to dive in!

Has anyone read this? Chu think? #kidlit #mg
