Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years

Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years

By Stacy McAnulty

This is a nice book that mentions lots of facts about the Earth in a fun and descriptive way. It makes the readers want to read the book because they literally think that Earth is a person who is talking to you in a friendly way. It is hard to make planets appear human, but Stacy McAnutly simply did it.

Animal Smackdown: Surprising Animal Matchups With Surprising Results

By Emily Krieger

This book was pretty good. It puts together 2 animals that are alike in some way, and sees which one is stronger, faster, tougher, etc. It could have been better, but I recommend.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

By Jacqueline Kelly

This was an interesting story about a young girl in the early 1900's who is learning her place in the world. In this story Calpurunia is the only girl in a family with six brothers. As she comes to understand her grandfather as a teacher, she also struggles with her mother. Her mother wants her to become a domesticated wife, who knows how to sew, cook, knit, etc. But Calpurinia is not interested in these things at all. She just wants to study science and nature with her grandfather, and maybe become a scientist herself, not a housewife. As Calpurnia tries to keep her family together she learns lessons of trust and self-confidence, and being who you really are inside. I recommend this book to older people, however there aren't any action scenes, and some people may become bored with the storyline if they do not enjoy this type of book, setting in the past.

Moon! Earth's Best Friend (Our Universe)

Moon! Earth's Best Friend (Our Universe)

By Stacy McAnulty

This is a nice and informational book that mentions lots of facts about the moon. It catches the readers attention and makes them feel like the Moon is a person who is talking to you in a friendly way. It makes stars and the Moon appear human, but Stacy McAnutly wrote in such a way that I actually believed that the moon was a person talking to me.

Zane and the Hurricane: A Story of Katrina

Zane and the Hurricane: A Story of Katrina

By Rodman Philbrick

I completly agree with Mrs. Jagielski's comment on the book. A very emotional book. I cried a few times, like when he jumped out of the car to get Bandit, when the flood started, when Bandit almost died of heatstroke, and when Bandit got shot. But it is still an awesome book and i think that everyone should read it. BTW I love dogs thats why I cried a lot for Bandit :'(

Sun! One in a Billion (Our Universe)

Sun! One in a Billion (Our Universe)

By Stacy McAnulty

This is a good book that tells lots of facts about the sun. It mentions lots of things and says everything in a way that allures readers and makes them feel like the sun is a person who is talking to you in a friendly way. It puts a lot of effort to make stars or the Sun appear human, but Stacy McAnutly has absolutely nailed it.
