Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh: Book Review


Started: July 28, 2023
Finished: July 31, 2023

This is my first time reading this book, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review. 
As I mentioned in the video, I remember a couple sections of this book from childhood, but I'm not sure if I ever read the whole book, or only sections of it.  So, since I can't remember clearly, I'm not going to count this as a reread.

Started: Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (As I mentioned in the video, I think I was exposed to this back in my childhood. At the very least, I remember at least a couple passages.  So I think a teacher read it to me at some point in school, but I can't really remember clearly enough to say for sure.  So, maybe this is a reread?)

Here is a link to a Kahoot quiz on double comparatives that I found online: Double Comparatives by othergrey.  I used it in my class and it worked reasonably well, but I also made my own version, in which I changed a couple of the questions, and shortened the timing.  My version is here: Duplicate of Double Comparatives
