Continuing with the topic of random Bingo trivia, in traditional Bingo, many of the letter-number combinations have nicknames. Here are some I found:
B-1 Little Guy
B-8 Garden Gate
B-14 Valentine’s Day
I-17 Dancing Queen
I-19 Goodbye Teens
I-30 Dirty Gertie
N-32 Buckle My Shoe
N-44 Droopy Drawers
G-50 Hawaii-5-0
G-57 Heinz Varieties
O-66 Route 66
O-75 Big Guy
So I guess we can call this next book cover Tom’s Tricks (#6): Waiting Out the Storm written by JoAnn Early Macken and illustrated by Susan Gaber. This book received a starred review from Booklist who said, “Lovely to look at and pleasing to listen to, this is just right for reading aloud on a rainy day.” JoAnn showed us her creative space on May 17.
This is a beautiful book. I've read about her process as she wrote this book, and what she hoped to achieve regarding emotional impact. JoAnn achieved it to perfection.
Didn't know about the nicknames. Alas, my card is struggling . . .
Oh, that sounds interesting Bobbi. Do you remember where you read that? I agree, it's an all around beautiful book.
