#atozchallenge Z is for Zombie Flamingoes, Zoo, Zoltack, Zalka, Zero, Zombie-in-Chief

#AtoZChallenge 2021 April Blogging from A to Z Challenge letter Z


An alphabet of J's favorite blogs


Z is for https://zombieflamingoes.com/
I love THIS blog because:
  • a blog about nothing, and anything
  • The letter Z is used in the name 



#atozchallenge Usborne books for Children


“Peek Inside the Zoo” is from the fantastic ‘Peek Inside’ board book series, which is a great non-fiction introduction for older toddlers thru elementary age. In this book, they will ‘peek’ under leaves and behind doors to discover noisy parrots, crazy monkeys, tall giraffes and more. This series has many other themes as well, like sea, dinosaurs, farm, animal homes, bug homes, snowy places, and more!

  1. I have been to the blog. It is nice to see a blog about nothing! Randomness is nice sometimes.
    I have not read the books. It would not offend me!
    I will remember the survey!
    Zombies? I don't care one way or the other, didn't get on the television show bandwagon. I surprised myself in loving the PC game Zombie Solitaire though!

  2. Oh, wow, blogging about your TBR pile is clever. My TBR would fill the A to Z challenge a few times over and then some. A sad reflection of either my spending habits or my limited free time (or both, lol).

    Returning your A to Z visit AJ Blythe
