Don't you just love the title of this book? Boom Snot Twitty. The title is what first caught my attention.

Boom Snot Twitty (a catchy phrase of funny words) is the story of three friends. Boom (the bear), Snot (the snail), and Twitty (the bird) had a lovely day stretched out in front of them. What to do, what to do?

Twitty got tangled, Bear was bored, and Snot was blown away. The wind, rain, and stormy weather arrived to make the situation even more exciting. Each friend had a different way to deal with the weather challenges. Who was the calmest? You might be surprised when you read Boom Snot Twitty.

Readers will enjoy the interplay between the characters and the companionship of the friends.

KID KANDY:

Float Some Stuff

In Boom Snot Twitty, Snot peacefully floats on a leaf. Can you find some things that will float like a leaf?

1. Fill a tub or a sink with water. Ask permission!

2. Hunt in your home for waterproof items. Probably anything made from paper is not a good idea.

3. Test your guesses. What floats? What does not float?

4. Repeat your experiment outside. Make sure to find some leaves. Can you get a small stick to float on top of a leaf? You could pretend the stick is Snot.

Playing in the water sure makes hot summer days fun, doesn't it?
