Kids Books - School

Pete the cat is one of my favorite series yet! The books are creative and fun while teaching little ones life lessons and social skills. My daughter learned so much from this book she now is able to recognize letters make words by spelling each color (brown,blue, red). Great book for preschoolers.

I enjoy spy books and mystery books and this book really entertained me. McKeyla is a spy in an all girl facility. She moves around to different states infiltrating schools. In this book McKeyla is assigned to keep Prince Xander safe before he goes into space. She teams up with the three smartest girls in the school and saves the day, obviously. If you are interested in STEAM, this is a good book to read, too.

The previous dragonets of destiny have stopped the war, and have decided to build an academy to teach younger dragons to get along better than their ancestors, so another war like that won't happen again. The story is in the point of view of Moonwatcher, or Moon, for short. Moon is a very special Nightwing, and not just because she was raised in the forest away from the other Nightwings. Moon can read minds. Not only that, but she can see the future, at least a little bit. No Nightwing has had those powers, or any for that matter, for centuries, if they even had any at all. All Moon's mother has ever told her was to "Stay hidden, stay secret, stay safe". But when Moon goes to the Jade Mountain Academy, the school set up by the Dragonets of Destiny, there are more dragons there than she's seen in her entire life, so that means so many of others' thoughts swimming in her head she can barely take it. She sees the horrible memories of dragonets who fought and those of ones who lost loved ones. Then she overhears someone saying that they're planning a murder, and needs to find out how to stop it. Suddenly a mysterious voice appears in her head teaching her how to use her powers. Will Moon be able to keep her new friends and solve who the to-be murderer is, or will everyone find out about her secret and not trust her? One disappointment was the death of Carnelian, a Skywing dragon: I was excited at the possibility of finally getting a book in a Skywing's point of view, and there was a great deal of wasted potential I saw in the character (although I still do love the other characters dearly). Wings of Fire in general touches on some pretty mature themes for a slightly younger-audience series, and Moon Rising seemed to up the ante in this regard, touching on the many psychological traumas that can result from a long and grueling war fought partially by youths. Peril, Sora, and Flame especially struck me as very tragic characters, but pretty much all of the characters seemed to have some major issues involving the war and I hope that these theme threads will be continued in the future books of this series arc. Witnessing the healing the characters go through would be very rewarding, considering all of the pain and loss the war caused them. If you liked the previous books in the series then you will most certainly like this, maybe even better! I know I did.

I haven't read it yet but I was a bit disappointed when I found out it wasn't a graphic novel because the ad I watched made it look like a graphic novel.

I got this book from a thrift store and I thought .it might be good and I read it and omg!one of the best books ever!my favorite story was the dogman one .the cat(who is the badguy) realizes it's books that gets dogman so smart and catches him everytime.so the cat gets rid of all of the books then all of the people start to get dumb even dogman then dogman finds some of the books that the cat didn't get rid of them dogman catches the cat .and even know that book sounds great there are tons of other great ones .like a short raina telegemeier book ( with Dave roman) I recommend all of these books to all ages and I rate this book 5/5 stars 😁 😁 Pizzagirl7 😁 😁

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (The Long Haul) is about an ordinary teenager named Greg who’s just trying to enjoy summer break, which had just started. Unexpectedly, his mom planned a surprise road trip. Most of their family members were unsatisfied with what she came up with and showed a reluctant attitude, yet they still went on that trip. Throughout the trip, events that happened were unexpected, none of them actually imagined anything like it would happen on their road trip. I can somewhat understand Greg’s feelings towards the trip because I had experiences of unexpected trips and unwilling to go to the trip as well. Also, his personality is just like any other teenagers, who wants to spend summer break on activities that interests them the most. I enjoyed the parts where their family had to deal with the pig that Manny got, it was exceedingly entertaining and I actually laughed out for a few parts of it. Overall, this is an interesting novel and I’ll recommend this to readers who likes to read about teenager’s life.
