Thanks!

Will do!

We have gotten another Find the Elf roll

So we have to read 4 books with a direction word in the title (e.g up / down / east)
The words can be repeated

@Lisa Can you add Notalus: Lord of the South Winds to your bookshelf when you get a chance please?

Ya this ones definitely a harder one. Lots of animals that dont usually pop up in books. I agree with you Lisa. Platypus is a hard one so you could totally take it

New Spin!

Yes I agree about the movement. I think the idea is that you "cant" go under someone's skin in a sense. (just using this as an example). Like giving directions to me sounds like you're sending someone somewhere.

I may be wrong though. I am also quite a bit confused.

I thought the same thing after hearing that explanation @Suzanne

Done. Just let us know when you finish them :)
