DYING TO MEET YOU By Kate Klise

2011-10-16T06:40:00.000-07:00

This book might just be letters and newspapers, but it is one of the most crazy and scary stories combined. The characters are the ghost Olive, C. Spence, Seymour Hope and Iggy. Can a ghost and a scary writer take care of a little orphan and still write? The expression and description was awesome. The pictures are also pretty awesome. And don't forget--it was a 2011 Nutmeg Award nominee!

WWE LEGENDS By Brian Solomon

2011-07-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

This book is written by my dad, and it's about legends of WWE. Have you ever heard of The Valiant Brothers or Ivan Koloff? This book has detail in the writing, and really goes in-depth explaining and telling you everything you need to know about each legend.

THE CURSE OF CAMP COLD LAKE By R.L. Stine

2011-03-06T12:55:00.000-08:00

This is a book about a girl going to a camp with what they call "buddies". You meen ghosts? when I was reading this book, I felt like the bone-chilling parts where happening to me. Her mom and dad now might now regret makeing her go to camp. Please read this book and see what I enjoyed! All the description they used was great. For example, when Della was singing the campfire song, it was described as a soft, quiet voice.

THE RED BLAZER GIRLS By Michael D. Beil

2011-01-22T17:58:00.000-08:00

If you like mysteries, you should read this book. This author expresses a lot of details. He can make you want to keep reading the book, and when my teacher says to stop reading, I never want to. This book keeps you waiting and waiting to figure out the mystery at the end. I like this book because it has a lot of unusual characters, like Malcolm and the maid in the old lady's house. So if you like mysteries, this would be the perfect book for you.

Ancient Greek Books

2010-07-17T11:42:00.000-07:00

Were the books of Ancient Greece different from the books of today? Will we ever know? Maybe they had a different idea of what books were. Writing stories could have been something different.They where among the first to ever read books. Are there things about them that we don't know??

JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH by Roald Dahl

2010-05-06T16:25:00.000-07:00

This book is a popular classic from when my mom and dad were little! It also was made into an adventurous and crazy movie. I loved this book, and so did my class when my teacher gave us all a copy. It had good descripton and you could really tell. So i hope you like this book.

Author Profile: ERIC CARLE

2010-03-18T16:52:00.000-07:00

Eric Carle writes many good picture books for children. He's a very famous, colorful painter.

He wrote The Grouchy Ladybug, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and many other books. He puts lots of colors in his pictures, and makes them very bright and beautiful. Sometimes, he just does pictures in his books, and sometimes he does words and pictures.

I think you should try all of Eric Carle's books. He's a very good author.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND By Lewis Carroll

2010-02-21T15:25:00.000-08:00

This book is really great. I just finished reading it, or soon, anyway. It's really interesting. The mad tea party chapter is really fun. I really think you should try it. It's a classic. It also has a little bit of Lewis Carroll's poetry in it.

My mom was reading it to me not so long ago. I hope you enjoy reading it.

My Family

AMAZING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ: A COMMEMORATIVE POP-UP By L. Frank Baum

2009-12-24T06:43:00.000-08:00

This pop-up book is very good. I got it when my brother was born, for being a big sister.

It's a very fun book with a lot of pop-ups. Everyone will enjoy this, especially if you like The Wizard of Oz. When you read it, on each flap there's another pop-up, even little tiny ones.

This is a very long book, but it tells the whole story about Dorothy. My favorite pop-up was at the beginning, where you turn this little flap, and you can see Dorothy and Toto falling off the bed in the tornado.

NO TALKING By Andrew Clements

2009-10-30T17:18:00.000-07:00

I think that this book is interesting, and makes you want to keep reading it to see what happens next.

It's about a fifth grade class that has boys and girls in it. The boys and girls are having a contest, because the boys think the girls talk too much, and the girls think the boys talk too much. So, what they do is not talk for a whole week, and whichever team talks less, wins.

I also think this book would be good for around age 8.

BENJY AND THE BARKING BIRD By Margaret Bloy Graham

2009-09-30T05:09:00.000-07:00

This book is about a family that lives with a dog named Benjy. Their aunt comes over, and she has a bird that just learned how to bark. Benjy is jealous because the children aren't paying attention to him. He sets the bird free, and now it's loose!

The next morning, everyone goes looking, can't find it, and then go to the pet store to buy a new parakeet. They see a parakeet--it wasn't the original parakeet, it was a new one. But they still bought it.

The next day, they found the bird. The other bird from the pet shop, and the bird that they found that could bark, got married. What a lovely story.

JUNIE B. JONES LOVES HANDSOME WARREN By Barbara Park

2009-09-30T05:00:00.000-07:00

Junie B. Jones is a series. In the series, there are books that take place when she is in first grade and kindergarten. But I'm going to talk about a specific book.

This book is about how Junie B. Jones loves this boy, but he thinks she's wacko. Junie's friends Lucille and Grace like him, too. He likes them as friends. The last time Junie saw him, she was laying on the ground, laughing like crazy and rolling over. That's why he thinks she's nuts.

Don't miss any of these books--they're wonderful.

THE GIVING TREE By Shel Silverstein

2009-09-16T16:32:00.000-07:00

The Giving Tree is a really great book. It's been around since my mom was a little kid.

It's about a boy who loves this tree so much that he plays with it all the time. Then he grows up and doesn't visit it for a while. Then he comes back, but he was too old to climb the branches and do all that stuff. Then he got even older and older and older, and the same thing happened.

I think you would love this book so much that you would read it all the time. I got it for my birthday when I turned seven, from my aunt.

STONE SOUP By Ann McGovern

2009-09-08T17:25:00.000-07:00

This story is about a boy who taught a grouchy old lady how to make soup out of a big stone. She says, "Well, this stone soup is not going to work. I'm going to make a soup, and I'm going to show you." So she tries to prove to the boy that you can't make soup out of stones. But one day, she woke up and she looked in the pot. No stone, but there was delicious yummy soup with carrots and vegetables and all yummy stuff.

You are going to love this book. It's for boys and girls, and it's a book that you can start reading yourself, maybe in first grade.

LIGHT THE LIGHTS By Margaret Moorman

2009-09-07T11:42:00.000-07:00

This book is about a girl who celebrates Hannukah and Christmas, just like me. There are different parts of the two different holidays. This book will teach you about the two different holidays, even if you don't even celebrate one of them.

I hope you loved this post! Remember, the holidays are coming up soon.

PIPPI GOES TO SCHOOL By Astrid Lindgren

2009-09-04T14:47:00.000-07:00

This is one of the Pippi Longstockings books. It's not a chapter book. It's good for boys and girls, and is a very funny story. I think you would love it. It's one of the many books in the series.

You should read this--check it out of the library or buy it!

BACK TO SCHOOL - A poem by Zombelina

2009-09-03T16:21:00.000-07:00

September is great when school starts,

Paper and pens and lots of friends.

On the 5th day, homework starts.

We have music, art and gym,

The prettiest girl in my class' name is Kim.

The first day was so much fun,

The second day, I think,

Is going to be so much better.

PATRICK'S DINOSAURS By Carol Carrick

2009-09-02T08:58:00.000-07:00

This book is really good for a boy child, and girl child. It's about a boy who has a big brother, and he learns about all different dinosaurs from his brother at the zoo. His brother taught him a lot.

The little boy Patrick was imagining that all the animals at the zoo were different kinds of dinosaurs. Then he figured out that he was just imagining it.

I think whether you're a girl or boy, you should read this book.

KINDERGARTEN COUNT TO 100 By Jacqueline Rogers

2009-08-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

This book is good for a lot of kindergarteners. On each page there is a different number, like 7 ("7 kitties when I wake up in the morning for kindergarten"). This book is written by Jacqueline Rogers. I got it because my brother is going to kindergarten, and I thought it would be a great review for all kindergarteners.

MR. HAPPY by Roger Hargreaves

2009-08-17T14:05:00.000-07:00

The Mr. Men books are about male characters, but there are also the Little Miss books, about female characters. They're all very funny, but the main one is Mr. Happy.

Mr. Happy lives in a town where everything's happy and everyone smiles, especially the flowers. He's a big circle, and he's yellow.

You should read these books, and you will have lots of fun.

THE VELVETEEN RABBIT by Margery Williams

2009-08-14T15:37:00.000-07:00

This book was kind of long. It was about a boy who lost his toy rabbit, and the rabbit didn't get played with anymore. The rabbit got sad and old, and he met another toy that the boy didn't play with--a horse.

I liked it, but I don't know why. I think people who didn't read it should read it.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB by E.B. White

2009-08-12T13:57:00.000-07:00

I started reading Charlotte's Web when I was in kindergarten. My mom read it to me every night. Now, I'm going to third grade, and I still think this book is cute, because Wilbur is a really great character. He is really small in the beginning.

It is also a long book, but not too long. It has 184 pages. It's by E.B. White, who also wrote Stuart Little.

It's kind of cool how Charlotte can make words with her web.
