Let’s see how Gavin adds humour to this serious subject…   G-"Here, the Super Sidekicks prepare to meet an underwater enemy headed their way.

Thoroughly agree with your praise for Gavin’s ability to share an important message with his readers through humour. Nothing brings me more joy as a teacher librarian than having a student laughing as they read and wanting to discuss the content with me.

Completely concur with your commendation for Gavin's capacity to impart a significant message to his perusers through humor. Nothing gives me more pleasure as an educator curator than having an understudy snickering as they read and needing to talk about the substance with me. 3/24/2022 04:31:58 am

Absolutely loved the post . Reminded me of a uni safety workshop where the presenter had us in stitches mimicking movie blunders. Then, he switched to real campus incidents, hitting home the message without losing our attention. His quip about no "stunt doubles" made safety a running joke. It's true, humor's sneaky power can transform the mundane into memorable. Kudos for highlighting how serious subjects can seriously benefit from a good laugh! 8/30/2023 10:17:44 pm
