Kids Books - Geography

hilarious book about fitting in, falling down, and getting up!

When I was in elementary school, I loved this series. To all you kids out there who love magic and fairytales, this series is the perfect fit for you

SUCH A MEANINGFUL BOOK!

I can remember hearing this book read to me when I was in elementary school. This is by far my most favorite Cynthia Rylant book.

Patricia Polacco When Lightning Comes in a Jar Have you ever been to a family reunion? “My dad’s family will come soon” Tricia said. “We might catch lightning in a jar.” Tricia’s grandma said. “It is going to be awesome this year.” I love this book because they went to a family reunion and I have not. I recommend this book if you are seven-years-old and up and if you like cliffhangers.

I liked this book because it reminds me of stories that my mom and my nana would tell me because my nana liked to listen to record music when she was younger and she loved it.

Addie Ann, a young black girl just starting the seventh grade, lives in the segregated discrimination of Kuckachoo, Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement, 1963. She lives in a small, cramped house with her brother, Elias, her mother, and her Uncle Bump in the Negro side of town. Her father has supposedly died of pneumonia before she was born, and it has been, "stay away from whites but do what they tell you" since. Now, after a heinous, misunderstood "crime", her brother has run off, and her uncle has been accused of vandalism.

This girl who has two greedy sisters. Their family is poor and have very little gold and jewelry. The sisters burned her little sister's face. There was an handsome man. To marry him there was a test. They went and failed. The girl pasted and lived and was happy forever.

I can really relate this book to the life of people in China in the previous generation. My parents' childhood would probably be like Ma Yan's childhood.

Terrel's dad is in love with Terrel's enemy's aunt. And if that isn't enough she want Terrel to bond with Tiara Girl. Even worse, she treats Terrel like a kid!
