Kids Books - Humor
Wolven: Book 1
By Di Toft
This book is amazing! I never heard of wolvens before but they seem like really cool creatures. Reading books like Fantasy kinda sometimes change my perspective on things. For this ones, it's wolves. I really like how the author reversed werewolves and made it into his/her own species. I want to read the other books, but until then Wolven is by far my favorite.
The Tell-Tale Start (The Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe)
By Gordon McAlpine
Have you ever heard one of Edgar Allen Poe's poems or stories? Well, here's something that I like even better! This is a story about his great-great-great nephews who are twins who can read each other's minds. They have a huge adventure with some parts that might scare some kids. It was my favorite book of the summer. They should have a day dedicated to this book.
Always October
By Bruce Coville
Warning! This review contains spoilers! Jake's dad left one day, and never came back. Lily's parents abandon her, so she lives with her grandfather. Lily and Jake are best friends. One day Jake find's a baby on his door step, and his mother decides to keep it until they can find its parents. It turns out that the baby turns into a monster on the full moon. What I thought of it: Normally I hate books where kid's dads leave (it turns out his dad really didn't leave), but this one was surprisingly good. Jake and Lily were both great characters. The plot was good and interesting, and the end was unexpected. But I wish they hadn't kept the baby. Overall (despite the fact I normally don't read these kinds of books) it was really good.
The Day the Babies Crawled Away
By Peggy Rathmann
This book is a classic. It is brilliantly written, too. The Day The Babies Crawled Away is one of my favorites because the rhyming and meter is unique, but it works and flows wonderfully. Also, the illustrations are amazing! I love how the place of focus is just a silhouette, and yet is extremely expressive. I actually did a school assignment with this book as a mentor text. Also, my siblings and I grew up with this book being read to us. We actually named all of the runaway babies after kids in our family.
Wilma Tenderfoot: the Case of the Frozen Hearts
By Emma Kennedy
I loved Wilma Tenderfoot and The Case of the Frozen Hearts because it was page turning. I could not stop reading it. I would tell my mom mhat was happening and she would say '' you allready told me that part.'' :)
