Mae Among the Stars

Mae Among the Stars

By Roda Ahmed

This book is real. I like this book because it's about space, and I love space. It's one of my favorite things. I also like it because it is about Mae, and she is a girl. She wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up. Her teacher and friends thought she couldn't be an astronaut - she could be a nurse or a teacher. But her parents said she could be an astronaut, and she did when she grew up!

Serendipity and Me

Serendipity and Me

By Judith L. Roth

Serendipity and Me is a sweet, heartfelt book about a girl named Sara whose mother died driving in a thick Tule fog. Sara has wanted a kitten since she can remember, but cats have always been a 'no' in her household. When her mother died, Sara's father retreated into a state of deep sadness, bringing Sara with him, and every time she tries to talk about their family, he breaks down and goes to his room. To top it all off, Sara is set to star in a school production of Peter Pan as Wendy, with Garrett as Peter Pan, but a week before the play, she comes down with a bad virus. A cold, gloomy night, a miracle of a kitten bolts into their door, leaving Dad speechless and Sara finally with something to hold on to. The only thing is, can Sara convince her dad to let the kitten stay? I would recommend this book to anyone who loves cats and just wants something soft to hold onto.

Bloomability

Bloomability

By Sharon Creech

First of all, I would like to thank my friend Avery for recommending this book to me because it was really good. I think this book really fitted me because this is full of surprises that not everybody expects. In this novel, main character Dinnie Doone, is always moving to other states because her father always has job "opportunities". It seemed as though her father was running away from her mother's side, because he disliked them. Being a contryboy (The father) and the mother as a city girl, their families cannot really agree with each other. When she is whisked away to an international school in Switzerland, Dinnie Doone discovers all the "bloomabilities" that life has to offer. From Newbery Award-winning author Sharon Creech is a story about everyday joys. I rate this book 5/5 because I positively think that it really fits me.

The House in the Night

The House in the Night

By Susan Marie Swanson

The book had great illustrations with the contrast of black and white and yellow accents. I like how it took you all the way in and then back out to the world.

Kitten's First Full Moon

Kitten's First Full Moon

By Kevin Henkes

I read this book to my brother. I like how the illustrator did a good job adding to the author's words. I've read it a few times.

Where's Walrus?

Where's Walrus?

By Stephen Savage

I give this book 5 stars! It has just pictures. Depending on the pictures, you can make the story say what you want. The pictures tell a story. After we read it forwards, we read it backwards because there were no words. Everyone if my family took turns "reading" it backwards and forwards.

The Odd Squad, King Karl (An Odd Squad Book)

The Odd Squad, King Karl (An Odd Squad Book)

By Michael Fry

This book was so so funny! It takes serious imagination to write something like this .I would recomend this to grades 2-5.If you read this ,to get the full story read "Bully Bait" and "Zero Tolerance".

Ice Cream Summer

Ice Cream Summer

By Peter Sis

This is a book about ice cream. Every picture is made up of ice cream. The pictures are cool. I didn't like the story because it was boring. This book is for kids age 1-4, I'd say. It did not make me hungry for ice cream.

Good Rosie!

Good Rosie!

By Kate DiCamillo

I didn't like this. I thought it was boring. From the pictures to the story - I just didn't like it. I think this book would be good for kids who are ages 3-5.

Rot, the Cutest in the World!

Rot, the Cutest in the World!

By Ben Clanton

I don't know why they thought Rot was the cutest. He wanted to win the contest so he tried to eat everyone else so he'd be the only one in the contest and win. It was a funny book.
