Kids Books - Classics

"My Friend Flicka" is the book for all horse lovers! It is heart felt and an amazing story. Highly recomend it for any Horse lover. Not for younger kids, but todally for kids 10+. I also recomend the rest of Mary O'Hara's books. Read them today!

This is another HILARIOUS Shel Silverstein book! I have read a couple others, but this is definitely original. Shel Silverstein could be Dr. Suess if he wrote shorter books-and just as famous too! All his books are really funny, and a lot of them include things that could never happen so they are good for kids. (I feel like adults like books about reality) I think this deserves a 5/5 without a second thought.

For my English class, we have been reading Romeo and Juliet for the past month now. This play requires tons and tons of patience. It is very hard to follow, do to it being written in Shakspeare. However, at the core of this story, I feel it is a very intriguing tale that has potential. But so many times I find this story to lag on and on, and find it a little bit boring. I feel that it uses uneven story telling, and it's hard to follow what is actually happening. One thing I will say about this old as time tale is that it has excellent character development. Today, too many stories have way too many characters and they can't balance them all out. While there are instances I don't find myself invested in the story, not once do I question the characters actions. I always understand the characters point of view, and why they do the things they do. I get why Romeo kills Tybalt, and why Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris. That is perfectly clear throughout the story. I know that this play was published in like the 1500's, and that it's important to know about. However, for it's time, I feel that this was probably very advanced. So in the long run, Romeo and Juliet is something you are probably going to have to read some time. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, but just too many times I find myself drifting off. It's up to you if you like it or not, however I think that it was a semi interesting story that could have been a bit improved on.

I love Pippi she is the best character other then the monkey Mr. Nilsson. It is about a nine year old girl who has lost her mom when she was young and her father to the sea(she thinks that he is the king of the cannibals.) She also has a neighbor with two kids called Annika and Tommy. they are very nice children and they all have adventures together most of the time with Mr. Nilsson and some times with Pippi horse. The things that Pippi does : moves into Villa Villekulla(the house), thing finder and gets into a fight, plays tag with some Police men, goes to school, sits on a gate and climes a tree.

Okay, I have no idea why there was only one review before I posted mine, but anyways: THIS WHOLE SERIES WAS AMAZING! The clues, the mysteries, the villains! They all connected and resolved so perfectly! Although there were a lot of sad parts throughout the series, I loved every single moment. The Netflix show was also amazing, my siblings and I loved it.

Gold is stolen from a camp with miners, and now it's up to Fentan HArdy to solve the mystery theft. Who took the gold? Unfortunatly, he gets injured. Lucky for him, his sons, Joe and Frank, help him on the case. Will thehy be able to turn the theives over to the sherrif, or will they be the laughing stock of their village? This book was good! I think this series is the second best mystery series after Nancy Drew.

Greek Myths by Diane Namm. The stories emotions can range from cheerful, melancholy, enraged, etc. The book has 15 chapters and 160 pages. The genre is traditional literature because they are stories past down from Greeks. One of the characters is King Midas, he was a guy that wished everything he touched turned to gold. That had a sad and happy ending. Another character is Demeter, she is the Goddess of harvest. Her daughter had to live with Hades for three months. That is why we have winter. So you can thank Persephone for that.

I think this is the second book in this series, but I'm reading these out of order, and it doesn't really matter. The Hardy Boys are investagating a house that is, of course, on a cliff. They have left because os an anynomous scream however. And now they have to figure out what's wrong with the house, all while they help their dad with a smuggling case. ARe these two things tied together, or is it just a mistake? .

"Great Illustrated Classics" is a fabulous series for anyone looking to read a "classic" book but not wanting to spend too long on the 500+ pages. Instead, this series shortens the original book into concise but still gorgeous writing, paired with beautiful works of intricate art. I never had the patience to read the original Jane Eyre book, with its tiny print and multiple hundred pages and small line space, but this version of it is so entertaining. Jane Eyre is now one of my favorite books. It is historically set, romantic, and beautifully written and illustrated!
