This mischievious gorilla makes my son laugh and teaches young children different animals. Very cute picture book and easy to follow for young children.
Bridge Home, The
By Padma Venkatraman
This book is really magnificent. It is really hard to grasp when reading it, that this was some children's lives. I am the kind of reader that after I finish a book, it sticks in my head for a couple of days. I always imagine what I would do in the position of the main character. This book was one of the firsts where I couldn't do that. It is written so well that it is hard to imagine different endings, or different ways that different parts could have gone. This was also probably the very first book that I cried during (granted I was reading this at 10:00 at night and that is not my bedtime so that could had something to do with it) and it is amazing. It is told as a very very long letter that the main character Viji, wrote to her sister (who isn't with her but I'm not telling you why) Rukku, who has a developmental disability. She writes, the story of them living under a bridge with 2 boys. She writes about how they would scrounge through garbage piles looking for things to trade in for money. They were living under the bridge because they were forced to runaway when there father, who mainly abused there mother, started abusing them. It is a story of trust and surviving. I loved this book and think everyone should read it. It is again really hard to grasp that all of this could've happened to some children. That there is a majority of homeless, orphan children living on the streets. It is a great book as I've mentioned and think that everyone (as I've mentioned) should read it.

Raymie Nightingale
By Kate DiCamillo
This book I read a couple months ago. I read that book another couple months ago. I read it again and again because it was so truly magical. I got the same amount of charm every time. It was full of several emotions. You wanted to cry at times. You got an excitement that could make you scared. You could relate to all characters and fall into the book. It was a truly heartwarming read (most likely reads) and I hope you will learn to love it as much as I do. This is my favorite book and I am quite a reader. Thank you Kate DiCamillo for this life changing book that makes you look at this things a different way, and sculpts a life inside of pages of paper. Just thank you Kate, just thank you.
