Read-aloud Friday: De små detektiverna
For today’s reading, I have chosen a barnbok (children’s book) from McDonald’s Happy Meal Readers (HMR). I only have this one for the Swedish market but I understand that the McDonalds Tiny Detectives HMR (total: 12 books) were also available at McDonalds Singapore and Malaysia. I don’t know what possessed me to order a Happy Meal but I suspect the word “book” has something to do with it—that’s how I ended up with this little gem.
This book is the Swedish edition of Cressida Cowell’s De små detektiverna: Finns det liv på havets djupaste botten? (In English: The Tiny Detectives: Is there Life at the Bottom of the Deepest Ocean?) Happy listening!
Read-aloud Friday: 1001 Sudoku
For today’s reading, I have chosen the instruction pages from my bumper Sudoku book, 1001 Sudoku. It’s a brick of a book at over 600 pages thick, but not to worry, the reading is only from pages 4 and 5. Happy listening!

(Silent) Graphic Novel: Un Océan d'amour
Un Océan d'amour (the French edition) has arrived from Amazon.se! I placed an order for the book yesterday after I wrote the post about my thoughts on writing Swedish descriptive texts.

My thoughts on writing Swedish descriptive texts
I am super inspired after each lesson at school to write better. The exercises done in class such as describing a series of pictures to form a story, or watching a short video clip to then describe what has happened, are really harder than they look.
Jag blir superinspirerad att skriva bättre efter varje lektion på skolan. Övningarna som görs i klassen exempelvis att beskriva en bildserie eller ett kort videoklipp om vad som har hänt, är verkligen svårare än de ser ut. […]
