Do kids really come cheaper by the dozen? Yes and No. This book is hilarious. The Gilbreth family is a large one indeed, and cutting costs is next to impossible. But this family runs efficiently. And hilariously. As the Gilbreth family pulls together, they go through all sorts of hilarious experiences and events that keep you laughing throughout the whole book. This was a really great read.

I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.

This historic adventure brings you on a journey around the Roman Empire. I read about the Celts of Britain that defeated the Roman empire. Also how Augustine comes to England to teach the England people about christianity. The monks wrote books by hand and engraved gold and silver and many colorful colors. Describing the beauty of the Constantinople and the emperor and empress. I like empress Theodora because she convinced emperor Justinian to stay and not run away while the townspeople were rebelling. It describes Muhammad's first vision and how the muslim religion was created. Also about the Yamato dynasty of Japan and how Japan improved its writing system with help from Korea and China. Also about the first people of Australia..this is a wide journey through time. I took a journey through time, no through history. I learned about the Mayans, Incas, and the Aztecs. Also about the spanish conquistadors and the slave trade. The amazing fight for why the earth was round, the revolution of Copernicus and Galileo. About Shakespeare and his famous plays like Macbeth. The fight for the throne in the War of the Roses. Ghana, the trade of gold and salt….this book is about the middle ages and the history of the middle ages.

This was actually a pretty decent book.It's about this young Japanese- American girl that lives with her brothers and sisters in Fresno, California.She gets treated different by everybody just because her race is japanese and she looks different.Her family then gets booted out of their home taking barely anything and are forced to get onto a bus to take them to an internment camp.They live an extremely hard life at the internment camp, living in the middle of the desert with wind blowing in their uncomfortable and unbareable living situations.They had to live in things called barracks, which were outside where all the dust could blow in.After a couple years living in these terrible conditions.The girl (Jeanne Watkatsuki Houston) and her family are finally able to move out of it with thousands and thousand of many other innocent Japanese americans who did absolutely no harm to anyone whatsoever.Just like how the african americans were taken as slaves and dubbed as dumb, and stupid, or as property because of race and skin color.Not fair at all.Jeanne goes to school, she has now grown up quite a bit and is no longer the scared, seven year old girl she was when her family got moved to the internment camp.She does batton twirling and other things.She makes friends with a girl and one day wants to join girl scouts.The next day the girl comes back and says no just because Jeanne is Japanese and is different then white people.The story then goes on and Jeanne becomes an adult and has her own kids,the story ends with her taking her kids on a road trip to visit the old,destroyed internment camp where she was basically held prisoner for no reason.It holds a lot of memories for her.I had to read tis book for summer read for English class and then write an essay on it.I really though it was an important book because it has to do with racial unfairness and injustice just because another person is different or their skin is a different color.That is the theme of this book.Overall,it was pretty well written, almost like a biographical kind of book and also historical too.Anyone who likes books or topics about history or world wars 1 or 2 would like this book.

But, it's a little like reading Shakespeare by yourself

All the short stories in this book are fantastic! But I love "the adventure of the Abbey Grange" especially. This case is mystery. The dead man met his death at midnight and the murderer is gone. Whether police or private detectives both cannot figure out who is the criminal. Until Sherlock Holmes involved to solve this mystery. The plots are compact. I cannot wait to know the conclusion. I consider that this case is the most complex one that I have ever seen. But finally, Sherlock solved the crime again successfully. Overall, this story is an extraordinary one.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I learned a lot about Walt Disney World and the secrets behind it. It was very interesting and the illustrations were great! Now I know that there are tunnels under the Magic Kingdom!
