Kids Books - Reference

These kindas of books are amazing. They are kind of like weird but true except longer and has things that people have done to set a record. When it says 2014, does that mean they will add other things from other years, or have they already gotten all of the records for a year? I really want to buy this book and maybe a few other world record books. I can't wait.

This book is for the young mind that has a thirst to learn the beginning of a new math world, Geometry. This is an excellent book that teaches beginning geometry, like rays, angles, congruent angles, theorms, and triangles. It also helped me on my math geometry quiz, and it is really good at explaining the origins, and advanced areas. The problems are challenging, and it has problems that other kids have asked to explain. 5 star, but I would've given it 10. Great learning tool!

Hoot Is a great book with lots of adventure. I'd have to admit is is a little hard to follow because it is two stories in one book. This book makes you laugh, get mad, and just be scared for the characters. Hoot is a story that will make your day. The chapters are quite long so this is not a book for beginner readers. One of the stories is about two nemisises, Roy and Dana. Roy get Dana arrested. Mullet fingers is Roy's other friend who turns out to be Roys worst enemies step brother. ( Worst enemy = Beatrice). This is an amazing book and I recommend it to all readers who like a mystery with some rebellion mixed in.

I really want to read!

The author Steve Sheinkin tells the tale of an event happening 160 years ago in this meticulously researched nonfiction book; he delves into the world of body snatchers and counterfeiters and relates the story of a plot to steal Lincoln's body and hold it ransom. The story goes: Ben Boyd the noted counterfeiter is arrested, so the boss of the ring, Big Jim, hires a team of counterfeiters, including Terrence Mullen and Jack Hughes, to enact the body snatching plot. Yet Patrick Tyrell of the Secret Service is notified, and he promptly hires Lewis Swegles, famed horse thief, to act as a roper, ie, a spy. The story progresses as Swegles gathers information about the plan and Secret Service agents prepare for the planned date of the event. Written in a conversational style and including many interesting quotes from Tyrell's notes and the characters themselves, this book tells an engaging story and has straightforward language; it is also quite informative. This book is an example of good narrative nonfiction, and it's a great book for people of all ages.

Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Lang is a historical memoir about the cultural revolution when Chairman Mao was in charge. Everyone under Mao's rule was brainwashed to think Mao was the best people who held on to old tradition were to be punished and anyone who had any relation to a person with a job that was frowned upon was to be jailed. Overall it seems like it could be an interesting story but I don't like how the story was built. It was hard to follow and it was honestly kind of boring. I do recommend it for people who are very serious readers and don't care if something is a bit boring. I think this book is for people ages 10-12.

It is a good book for people starting to play minecraft! It tells you the controls for pocket edition, x-box, and pc. It has mob bios and crafting recipes. I highly recommend this book for beginners playing minecraft.

i would read this if i was 2

When you find yourself smiling at the first few pages of any book, you know you're holding something special in your hands. "The Diary of the Mad Brownie" (part of the Enchanted Files) is one such book. It is filled with light-hearted humor and plenty of imagination, creativity, and fun to keep you laughing in the most unexpected moments. But as this book delves deeper, you will discover gentle reminders and morals about friendship, family, and the importances of promises.. there are several moments that will make you feel sorrow, or anger, or pity, or all the other emotions mixed in with joy that makes a book so special. This is a treat for any age (though I would recommend this book to ages 8-12..) Angus Cairns is a brownie - and not the kind you eat, nor a Girl Scout in a brown uniform. Nay, Angus Cairns is a genuine Scottish household brownie, and he is cursed to serve the youngest female (above the age of ten) in the McGonagall line because of his father, who made a foolish mistake way back in history. But is it a curse after all? Even though Angus (like any other sensible brownie) would much rather be human-free, he has taken a fondness to his mistress Sarah, who shares his same mischievousness and trickery in her heart. But alas - Sarah passes away, and Angus must leave his dear homeland of Scotland. He must travel through the Enchanted Realm in a short amount of time to his new land, America, where he must serve a new mistress, who goes by the name of Alex Carhart. Well, Angus Cairns' duty is to tidy up rooms and to serve his mistress, which seems easy enough. But after the tiring journey into America, Angus discovers that Alex is in possession of a MONSTER (a cat) and her room is a PIGSTY - way worse than a pigsty actually. And when he cleans everything up and makes it tidy as can be, she calls the POLICE? This is the first of many other unfortunate incidents between Alex and Angus Cairns. But once they get through all their differences and quarrels, they start to form a true friendship. But what happens when Alex's dad quits his job to become a songwriter (believe me, he is a horrible songwriter) and Angus learns WHAT exactly was the stupid mistake his dad made. And after the stupid mistake his dad made, the Shadow Queen cursed the McGonagall line to be horrible singers and writers.. and that the brownies can't be freed from this curse unless they rescue the Princess of Sunshine. Angus goes on a mission to save the Princess of Sunshine and therefore be free.. and accidentally drags Alex, Bennett, (Alex's brother who writes terrible poems), and Destiny (Alex's imaginative younger sister) for a wild adventure in the Enchanted Realm! Will they find the Princess of Sunshine or will they be doomed? Read this exciting, imaginative, and a roller-coaster of a ride book to find out! I like how this book was written in different formats, like diary for Angus and journal for Alex. I normally don't like when narrators switch frequently, but in this book, it was natural, it flowed, and it was a great addition. The characterization is great - these are characters that are REALLY fleshed out, that some people can relate to or have problems similar to these characters. The other supporting documents are really fun to read, and I like how there are modern things like text messages, in contrast with Angus' quite odd Scottish accent - which I found quirky and very charming. The author adds personal touches that can make readers connect with his writing and the characters, and the setting was very pleasant - I like how there are two main settings and some other backgrounds. I really think Bruce Coville scored a home run with this imaginative book - grade: A+

This was such a fun read! YOU"RE INVITED is about four best friends (Vi, Becca, Sadie and Lauren) who start a party planning business and the adventures/obstacles that they face. I loved the personalities of all of the girls. Sometimes when I read a book with multiple narrations, I find one that I really love and may speed through the others to get back to that character. That wasn't the case here. Each of the girls' chapters were unique and I wanted to know what was happening with each of them. The setting for the book was great! It was a near the beach, which is place that I would love to go on vacation. And I loved reading about each of the theme parties the girls planned...they are so creative, and sounded super fun. I highly recommend this book, and can't wait for the second book to come out.
