One thing I like about Strands is the way he moves from one topic to another without any particular pattern. One day you might be asked to find yard ornaments, another day you might be asked to find things you do in the morning, another day you might be asked to find country music stars, or in today's case, PETERPAN.
It's been a long time since I read Peter Pan; I shared it with my daughters when they were little and watched a couple of the different movies with them back then. But that's been a decade now and I had a hard time remembering all the elements. PIRATES was easy, CROCODILE pretty easy too. But MERMAID and LAGOON… well, I would have had a hard time finding them if it weren't for the fact that the spangram cut the board neatly in half. I got them all in the end, but it wasn't the easiest Strands ever. But it was fun.
