Kids Books - Literature

I think I understand what you (@thistle912) mean about the grammar; it's not the way my friends and I talk and it's difficult for me to read. "Yes" people really did talk that way & recently. As a "kid" of the 1970s, I remember "Andy Griffith" spoke similarly to that on TV. Where I live in central CA, there's been a trend in education to recognize that "standard" English is important, but it's not the only legitimate dialect. I tried to read the Yearling a few times and just recently decided to "read" the audio book to get more used to the accent and to think about whether or not the story is appropriate for my young nephew. My nephew's family and I don't eat meat, but the idea of "kill or go hungry" is an important part of our history.

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

i love this book and the serices. This book is about 3 friends named Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose and they go to a pandemonium in Green Lawn (where they live) but when the pandas get to the zoo as fast as you can say fishy fish the baby panda was stolen. The panda- nappers want a million dollars for the panda. Can the 3 friends find out who the stealer are, and ave the panda before Green Lawn has to give them the money? This is a paper back book with 96 pages. and the autthor is Ron Roy.

I think this book was veary interesting because in the began of the story they were in there classroom and then soon alater there was a new kid who came in and he was white there wasn,t alot of white pepole on that side of the highway and that,s when there was a mean boy name trevor and he picks on him that when trevor started calling him jesus boy and that,s how it began. there,s a girl who has a brother named sean and he is veary deaf . her mom had a baby she called her lila but she died. the girl that brothers deaf has a friend named samantha she is veary holy the little girl never went to church.

"Place a beehive in my grave and let the honey soak through. When I'm dead and gone that's what I want from you." Singing songs like that is what Lily and her caregiver, Rosaleen, do when they run away from Lily's mean, uncaring father. Because this is set in the 1960's Rosaleen who is black gets put in jail. I think it's really exciting when Lily breaks her out. "I watched as the policeman put on his hat and walked down the corridor and out the door. When Rosaleen and I stepped from her room, I looked left, then right." This part seems really suspenseful and makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. If you want to read a great book about beekeeping sisters, black Madonna and other funny adventures, I really recommend you read this book.

I read this book a few years ago so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember how amazing it was and how obsessed I became with the series after reading it! Sadly, I only ever got up to the third book (I started reading the fourth on my dad's Kindle but never actually finished it) but maybe I'll start reading the series again. The book is a mystery about twin sisters and the crazy things they go through at their boarding school. It's AMAZINGGG.

This book is the first in the series, but it's a filled-in journal rather than a small chapter book the way the others are. By filled-in, I mean that each friend filled out their own area of the book with their own handwriting and personality, so it's like an introduction to them and their worlds. I love it though! I've read it so many times because it's so fun to read when I'm too tired for a big chapter book.

I really like this book because it puts things into a whole new perspective. Instead of writing in third person, the author makes it seem like the dog is an actual human being in a dog's body. The story is altogether a really sweet, cute and touching tale although there were sad parts where Squirrel (the dog) encountered obstacles. This book is really memorable because it's very different from the other dog novels. I also think the whole book is one big metaphor because it tells us about the obstacles in life and how we have to overcome them, so it was very inspirational for me. I totally recommend this book to all animal lovers! A must read!

This book was so good! It's really romantic, sweet and cute, but it's so much more than that. The book was also funny and unique. Instead of a simple sweet little romance, this book has quick witted, intense humor and its characters are simply out of this world. Anna, the protagonist, has the strongest voice, and all her actions and dialogue just showcases her personality even better, even when she has flaws and insecurities. I learned that you don't have to be perfect to be a hero. There were so many things that I loved in the book. For one, the plot - Anna and St.Clair start out as friends. Anna has feelings for a co-worker back at home in the States while St.Clair has a girlfriend that is much older than he is. The author doesn't rush the plot like some other authors do, instead she lets the whole story build up slowly, and that's what I really like about this book.

I like that ninja he blows ice out when he does a trick he flips first I love it it's the best
