Today we walked a story walk. The story was Chirp by Jamie A. Swenson, illustrated by Scott Magoon. We walked along and read each one. Supposedly, the story was applicable for 3-6 years old children. Near the beginning, the author used the word "bittersweet." I remarked that I didn't think the adjective "bittersweet" was in the vocabulary of a six-year-old child, never mind a 3-year-old. In fact, we had a discussion of the word, "bittersweet." I thought it described a taste. So we googled it. It is also a plant. But the book used "bittersweet" to describe an emotion. And the author used it four more times!
Actually, following the path along the story walk, we almost got lost. But for the most part, it was enjoyable. I guess you could say it was "bittersweet."
