These have always been fun to read, though in all your posts I don’t think I have ever gotten one correct! I did learn on a recent PBS program that a group of giraffes is called a tower. I’ll bet you already knew that!
I had to go back and check – I did use ‘tower of giraffes’, in The Animal Kingdom: #13!
“Worship of writers” is the best one yet! Made me go “aww”.
I know! What an awesome term!! 🙂
I never know “worship of writers” so thanks! And I can see from the photo how it inspired Trail Back Out.
I was so excited when I stumbled on worship and writers together! And regarding The Trail Back Out, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the glowing review, Emilie.
It was a great book!
Three right! Ha! LOL
I confess that when I reread these, I’m lucky to get more than three….
Still, it’s fun to play!
I love animals more than anything, and I still didn’t get very many right across the tests. But excited to learn more about animals!
I love these words -great series
Thanks Beth! Next might be, names of animal babies. Or names that fit the critter. Or…..
Ooh –
These have been fascinating, clever, and educational. Much appreciated.
I went waaay down a rabbit hole writing these. Just hope the next one is as fun to write – and to read…
A great and entertaining series. Thank you.
They’ve been the perfect posts for all the weeks when I couldn’t think of anything to write. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them!
