![]() We had lots of parents/grandparents singing along with this one and the actions are easy for the 2's and 3's. This is a good song and it fit with the idea of relatives coming to visit. Our last song was Laurie Berkner's She'll be coming 'round the mountain. Jean's Gobble! Gobble! here, but that didn't go so well with the Monday crowd.) This song has you trotting around like turkeys some more, but the music is really up beat and he tells you a few things to do, like pull your hands in and stick your wings out. We also sang Ron Brown's Turkey Trot (originally I had Dr. I had the kids act like turkeys and then shake their eggs around, so that was fun. The Wiggles have a song called Turkey in the straw so we did that with shaker eggs. Turkey songs are really hard to find, but we dug up a few. ![]() I didn't because that makes it harder to talk about the pictures, but they seemed ok with it. ![]() ![]() I think it may have been better if I sang the song. The final book we read was Over the river: a turkey's tale by Derek Anderson. ![]()

![]() ![]() Nariman Karkaria joined the British Army during the First World War and saw action on three different fronts. And in Murali Ranganathan's brilliant translation, this astonishing story comes alive with rare immediacy and vigour. Karkaria's war memoir is truly one of a kind. After being discharged, he returned to India and wrote a book in Gujarati about his years of travel and adventure, which was published in 1922. He was then transferred to the Balkan Front in 1918, where he served in Salonika. ![]() After convalescing from an injury, he was sent off to the Middle Eastern Front where he fought in the Battle of Jerusalem in 1917. In 1916, he was in the trenches at the Battle of the Somme. Incredibly, Karkaria saw action on three major fronts in the next three years. Passing through China, Manchuria, Siberia, Russia and Scandinavia, he reached London early in 1915 and managed to register as a private with the 24th Middlesex Regiment. After working in Hong Kong and Peking for a few years, in 1914, when war was in the air, he decided to volunteer for the British Army. So he left home as a teenager with fifty rupees in his pocket to do just that. Nariman Karkaria, a young Parsi from Gujarat, had always wanted to see the world. ![]() 'Amazing! An astonishing find!' - AMITAV GHOSH ![]() ![]() Hell, when I first read the book I had no idea what a necromancer even was. From the beginning I was pulled in, I had never read a book about necromancers before. It's probably the only book that I have ever read without it being recommended to me or having done a lot of research on it before deciding to read it. I was walking around the library one day and the cover of Sabriel seemed to call me. ![]() I stumbled upon these books while I was in high school. ![]() I just found out that Garth Nix will soon be releasing a prequel named Clariel to his Abhorsen Trilogy, I just had to make it my Forgotten Friday choice. It can be old books, new books, any book that never got its (or enough) time in the spot light. This meme is about books that have been pushed aside while others have gone viral and made into movies. ![]() |
