Sports are Fantastic Fun Ole Könnecke No gonna lie, I just went to the juvenile nonfiction section of my library and found the sports section to find something for the Sports Ball Bingo square.  I’m not all that into sports, and there were other squares that interested me more.  But I found some interesting picks!   Sports are Fantastic Fun reads like one of the videos from the 1950’s that they would have featured in Mystery Science Theater 3000.  But it’s paired with fun, whimsical […]
