Kids Books - Classics

I have not red it yet but its look interesting

Why i decided to read this book is because i really like a lot of the parts in the movie and book. The thing that I liked about the book is when Wilbur (the pig) meets Charlotte (the spider). The reason why I chose to read this book is also because I really like how he wins at the fair.

This book is about a boy, Billy, that lived next to a Candy store. Billy loved candy, but the Candy store was closed. One day, a tall, big colourful giraffe, a big pelly and a revolting brown monkey moved where the Candy store was. They turned it into a window cleaner’s place. On the sunniest, loveliest day, a man comes with a letter, the letter said: “Dear sirs,I saw your notice as I drove by this morning. I had looking for a decent windows cleaner for the last fifty years but I have not found one yet. My house have six hundred seventy seven windows in it (without counting the greenhouse) and all for them are filthy. Kindly come and see me as soon as possible.The Duke of Hampshire. Will the animals go? If they do, will they take Billy? What will happen with the house the animals live in? If you want to know who ME is, read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you like animals read it too!!!!! This book is wonderful:,the story, the CHARACTERS, and the pictures... It is excellent for children who love pictures.(Quentin Blake made them) I like when Roald Dahl entertains readers by exaggerating everything. For example, if he wants to say someone is tall, he says he is super duper extra duper tall to make an impact. I loved that in his books NOTHING IS NORMAL READ THIS WONDERFUL BOOK!

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

I loved this book because you can read a lot of Dr. Seuss books in one book .You can also enjoy some of the rymeing and creativity plus fun.

Mr. Hoppy is in love with the lady that lives on the floor below him named Mrs. Silver, but Mrs. Silver is in love with her tortoise named Alfie. Mrs. Silver wants Alfie to grow bigger. Mr. Hoppy is too embarrassed to tell Mrs. Silver that he loves her. He buys a bunch of tortoises from the pet shop and has them at his house. He is an engineer and works in a bus garage. He makes a tortoise catcher there that has two claws, a sting, and a handle. When you pull the handle, the claws close and catch the tortoise. He sends Mrs. Silver a letter that he says is in tortoise language (just regular words spelled backwards) and he tells her to read this to Alfie every day. When she is at work, he grabs Alfie and replaces him with a bigger tortoise. He does this once a week and keeps replacing the old tortoise with a bigger one. Mrs. Silver starts yelling one day and said that Alfie got so big that he doesn't fit in his little house anymore. Mr. Hoppy gives her a new poem to read to the tortoise to help it get smaller. She says the poem before she goes to work each day, and then Mr. Hoppy switches the tortoise out with a smaller one. Mrs. Silver calls him down to show him the tortoise fits in its house again. Mr. Hoppy invites Mrs. Silver in to his house for a cup of tea. Then he returns all the tortoises back to the pet shop. Mr. Hoppy and Mrs. Silver end up getting married! At the very end of the book, the real tortorise Alfie got sold to someone else, but Mrs. Silver never noticed. I thought that Mr. Hoppy's tortoise catcher was really cool and I liked how he got Mrs. Silver to notice him. This book got me interested in creating an invention of my own!

Have you heard of King Arthur? Most people have. They know about how he had a round table and pulled a sword from a stone to become king. But this book isn't about King Arthur fighting wars. The Sword in the Stone is about how Arthur, nicknamed Wart, had adventures like getting lost in a forest or almost getting eaten by a witch. One day Wart and his foster brother Kay's governess goes crazy and must be sent to a hospital. She can no longer teach Wart and Kay, so Sir Ector, Wart's foster father, has to find a new tutor for the boys. One day Wart is walking in the woods when he sees an old man. The old man's name is Merlyn, and he is strange in many ways. First, he ages backward, meaning he was born at the end of time. That means that as Wart gets older, Merlyn is younger! Second, he's a wizard who can perform a few spells, including making the plates wash themselves. Third, Merlyn has a pet owl who can talk. Merlyn knows he will be Wart's tutor because he ages backward, so Wart brings Merlyn back to the castle. Once he's Wart's tutor, Merlyn educates him by turning him into different animals, like a fish, a merlin, an owl, and more. Along the way, Wart learns many things he can use when he becomes king. I liked this book because it was hilarious, and the plot wasn't complicated. I recommend The Sword in the Stone if you like funny books or historical fiction books.

Mole and Rat are good friends. Rat likes to row boats and sail with the breezy wind and Mole is full of questions to ask to Rat. They have picnics and stay together through thick and thin. One day, they go to Toad Hall, the house of the rich toad. Toad always has a new interest. This time it is driving a horse drawn carriage. Toad is always the trouble maker, being caught police and such. His good kind friends get into unthinkable kinds of trouble to protect toad. Even when Mole gets lost in the woods Badger rescues him and brings him safely home. These four animals are best friends, well maybe excluding Toad, and this book is about the adventure leading from their friendship.

The Story of Doctor Dolittle, by Hugh Lofting, teaches about tolerance. Dr. Dollitle is a doctor who can speak animal languages and loves animals, but he has so many animals that his sister left and he became poor. He didn’t mind, though, because he still had his animals. After some time, a swallow came and told the doctor that he needed to cure some monkeys in africa. He didn’t have enough money, but he borrowed a boat and supplies from people who knew that he was a good doctor. After a while, he cured the monkeys and went back home. The animals also showed him the pushmi-pullyu, an animal which has two heads. He earned enough money showing people it that he had enough for a while. I recommend this classical book for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.

This story is about 3 girls, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy, who have to go into show business in order to get money for their guardian. Sylvia, their guardian,'s Great Uncle Mathew, also known as GUM, loved collecting fossils until he hurt his foot so badly that it had to be cut off. Then, he found three children at three different times and Sylvia named them Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. But on a voyage to some islands, Gum disappeared, and the money he left Sylvia is getting smaller. So Sylvia has to take the children out of school and rent the house to boarders. One of the boarders is called Miss Theo, and she's a teacher at the Academy of Dancing. She tells Sylvia that the children can go have classes at the Academy, and when they're twelve, they can earn money! Pauline loves acting at the Academy, Petrova doesn't like it very much, and Posy loves dancing. (Her mother was a dancer who left her a pair of ballet shoes.) But all three of the children vow to try to make themselves famous. But will they be able to do it? And more importantly, will they be able to earn enough money? I'm not really interested in dancing or ballet, but the author's writing style was pretty good.
