Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I wanted to share a book that we are currently enjoying here -
The Word Snoop

Some topics covered - a brief history of the alphabet, silent letters, plurals, puntuation, palindromes, mnemonics, pig latin, puns, mondegreens (what is that? I can't wait for chapter 7 )- and much more.

At the end of each chapter is a part of a secret message that needs to be decoded using hints from that chapter. Very fun!

And I just discovered there's a blog when I went to post the link for the book. Haven't really previewd it yet but on a quick look - it looks like fun!
