I'm just going to put this one down as "NEw and crazy" in my book since this is the hiragana with the most curves thus far in the series of lessons. Perhaps it could be compared to a "NEw and crazy roller coaster ride??

A dog curled up to sleep if you're looking from above! That or a weird rabbit nibbling the grass.

Is it right?

I think this page has my favourite words so far *lol*

輝。 Bright (ki) 。クレア。
