Kids Books - Classics

I actually listened to this book as an audiobook but I really enjoyed it! I usually don't enjoy classics but I found this was so easy to understand, and the plot was really fun. I thought it was cool to finally know how the wizard of oz ended and overall I really enjoyed it.

Lily's Crossing is about a girl named Lily and her father goes to the war to help build things for war. Lily has to stay with her grandmother on the beach. She meets a boy named Albert and they develop a friendship. This book is really good and tells a lot of good morals and lessons about telling the truth and friendship. Lily has to overcome herself and she realizes that there are people in the world that are not as fortunate as her......like Albert.

The adventure all starts out with a boy name Sam in the wild of Canada exploring the nature and crossing the swamps. One day he discovers two swans, a cob who likes to speak in poetry one of his phrases he says repeatedly is “I glide, swanlike”, there also is a female who puts much effort into finding a place for her young. Then comes Louis, a cygnet that cannot say “Ko-hoh” or make a sound. Louis’s father, the cob, steals a trumpet from the shop causing much commotion. Now, Louis has to pay a debt so he goes to school to learn how to write and he learns to play the trumpet. Many adventures cause Louis to stay a night at the Ritz Carlton, meet Selena, Louis’s new “love”, and meet the “head man”. In the end, everything gets resolved and Louis and Selena live happily flying and, of course, gliding on the water.

Did anyone see this coming! Fudge, a three year old swallowing a pet turtle? This kinda weirded me out. I know a kid that swallow a cockroach, yep a cockroach that was her brother's pet This part of the book was not too good because Fudge didn't get in trouble and his brother, Peter didn't get any attention for losing his pet because their parents had to rush Fudge to the hospital. So basically the entire book is about sibling rivalry and as the youngest of 4 I understand. So if you are an animal lover like me, don't read this book. And Fudge is a complete terror in this book. I am sure there are kids out there like this or someone with a sibling like Fudge, and I feel sorry for them. Reason 2 to not read this book.

Caractacus Pott, an inventor and explorer, has invented a lot of stuff, including square potatoes, collapsible coat hangers, and edible phonograph records, which haven't fetched a lot of money. But one day, he invents something really good: a type of candy that you can whistle with! Caractacus gets money for his invention, and then the Pott family has enough money for a car! But they don't want something boring and everyday, they want a SPECIAL car. After looking for a day, they find an old car that's going to be melted for metal and decide that it's perfect. Soon, they discover something unusual about the car; it can think! Not only that, it can fly! Then, the family decides to go to France, where they discover the hideout of an infamous gangster, Joe the Monster. Can the family, along with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, outwit him and his gang? I liked how it seemed like the author was talking directly to you, and the book was also very exciting, though it was a bit short.

For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.

What will happen next? This book was pretty good, and it was funny! But it was sort of annoying when Digory said "Enough of this jaw." You should read this book if you like interesting books with talking animals.

I love this book!!! If you are a horse fan this is for you!!! I love everything about it!!! It also really makes you think about how sad and terrible animal abuse is. 🤩🐎🐴

This book IS AMAZING, funny and very well-written. You should ABSOLUTELY read this book if you like comedy, country-style writing, or just love to read!
