Fergus And Zeke

Fergus And Zeke

By Kate Messner

Overall, I enjoyed this book. My favorite part was when Fergus found a friendly mouse named Zeke. Zeke showed Fergus around the museum. After that, they were friends. They liked each other so much that they were bus buddies on the bus on the way to the school from the museum. I like books about friendship. There were a lot of pictures, and I especially like the pictures showing the museum.

Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great

Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great

By Bob Shea

I like this book. Goat doesn't like Unicorn at first because Goat thinks Unicorn is better. But in the end, they become friends. The characters are pretty cute. I like the pictures of the story too.

Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping

Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping

By Mélanie Watt

I got this book from school at the end of the year. It was a present from my teacher. I like this book because it is about camping and because Scaredy Squirrel is funny. He is even scared of penguins (my favorite animal!). I love all of the illustrations .

Little Blue Truck

Little Blue Truck

This is a great book and is fun to read because you get to make sounds and say funny noises while you read.

The Wanderer

The Wanderer

By Sharon Creech

So this book was VERY disappointing. Sharon Creech's books were always good but this was an exception. My sister warned me not to read it because she said that it was boring and now I'm sorry that I didn't listen. The plot was really (was there even a plot?) hard to figure out and everything just dragged. You couldn't feel the character's feelings very well. Once I pick up a book I have to finish it. I don't know why. It's just like an instinct. I wish I don't have that kind of instinct or whatever you call it. But I would NOT recommend this, unless you want to be bored.

It is an awesome book. It really shows the hard work you have to put in do be good at something. You can read how a kid can make adult descions.

Extra Credit (Junior Library Guild Selection)

Extra Credit (Junior Library Guild Selection)

By Andrew Clements

Abby Carson is failing sixth grade. It isn't that Abby can't do her schoolwork, it's just that she doesn't like doing it. When a warning letter is sent home, Abby realizes that all of her slacking off could cause her to be held back-for real! Unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking an extra-credit project: find a pen pal in a foreign country. Simply enough (even for a girl who hates homework). When Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, Sadded Bayat is chosen to be her pen pal..... Well, kind of. He is the best writer, but he is also a boy, and in his village it is not appropriate for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, hi younger sister dictates and signs the letter-until Sadded decides what his sister is telling Abby isn't what he'd like Abby to know. As letters flow back and forth between Illinois and Afghanistan, Abby and Sadeed discover that their letters are crossing more than an ocean. They are crossing a huge cultural divide and a minefield of different life-styles and traditions. Their growing friendship is also becoming a growing problem for both communities, and some people are not happy. Suddenly things are not simple!
