She was the first woman to try to swim the English Channel. The first time she tried, she failed. She failed because her instructor pulled her up because he thought she swallowed too much water.After that Trudy did not give up. She tried again. Before she went into the water she put oil on her just like a whale. Then in the middle of the English Channel a storm came, but she still did not give up.I like this book because it teaches people not to give up on something they really want to do. It also teaches people how to set their minds on something.I think the illustrations stand out and look beautiful.

207 | Amos and Boris is a story about friends. Amos was a tiny mouse. One day Amos wanted to go sailing on the ocean so he decided to build himself a boat. Out on the ocean he was very happy but one day he fell off the boat and started to drown. A whale happened to come along and rescue him by putting him on his back. This was Boris. Boris had never seen a mouse before but that didn't matter; he wanted to help anyway. He promised to take Amos safely to shore. Sometimes whales dive for food and this is called '"sounding". Once, when Boris sounded, he forgot that Amos was on his back and he almost drowned again. Mice cannot swim very well and, so again, Boris put him on his back. By the time they reached shore they had become very good friends.When it was time to part Amos thanked Boris for saving his life. He said, "I want you to remember that if you ever need my help I'd be more than glad to give it!" He wanted to return the favor even though he wondered how a small mouse could help such a big whale. But one day there was a huge storm that washed Boris onto dry land; he was going to die because whales cannot live without water. Amos came to his rescue but you will have to read the story to find out how!There is a lesson in this story about friendship: you can always help someone else and be a friend anywhere! It doesn't matter how small you are because help is found in all sizes. Little people can help big people and big people can help little people. We can help each other even if we don't know each other.We liked this story because it is about friends and friendship and helping one another. When someone is in trouble, sometimes we can help.

He went to everybody's porch and tricked them by saying "I am taking a walk in the cool forest. Would you like to come?" The trick was to get them away from their food. When they lay by the rock, he left them and went back to their house and took all their food. But a little deer was spying on Anansi. The deer collected coconuts on her porch. The deer went in the forest when Anansi tried to trick her with a walk in the forest. The deer did not fall for it, returning to a porch of food. The deer taught Anansi a lesson not to trick others. I like this book because it is funny. My favorite part was when everyone got their food back and when the deer was spying on Anansi. I thought it was mean when he stole their food.

He's going to trick his friends into doing the same thing. It works, except for Guinea Fowl, who decides to trick Anansi and make him go into the air. It was so funny when Anansi tricked the Hippo into saying "seven" and he went upside down in the sky. A lesson you can learn from this book is that you should not trick your friends, or else they will not play with you anymore. You should read the book to find out how Guinea Fowl tricked Anansi.I like this book because I saw Anansi go up into the air. I also liked that Anansi tricked his friends, but then Guinea Fowl tricked him. My favorite part is that Hippo went upside down in the air, because he almost squished a bird.

222 | If you do, Anatole would be a great book for you! He sneaks into people's houses and looks for food. Anatole likes to sneak into factories in the tiny mouse village and taste things. Anatole is the happiest mouse in his village. One day his town got really hungry, so he sneaked into a cheese factory to try to steal some cheese. He put some signs on the cheese that said: NO GOOD, GOOD, NOT SO GOOD, ESPECIALLY GOOD, EXTRA-'SPECIALLY GOOD. Mr. Duval, the owner of the cheese company, started making the cheese Anatole's way and he took out all the bad cheese. The cheese was better Anatole's way and Mr. Duval got more money. Mr. Duval sent Anatole a note saying Anatole can come and get all the cheese he liked, and French bread, and chocolate eclairs. He was rewarding Anatole for making his factory better. This book won an award for its good illustrations. It's called the Caldecott Honor Award. In part of the story there is colorful language. If you like good punctuation this book has a lot of punctuation! And also, if you like long stories this will be a good book for you! A lot of the time the author uses bold lettering so watch out! Some of the words are difficult so be very careful! This book reminds me (Matt) of me because I like to go on adventures. It also reminds me of when my sister put a note on my back. It said "I'm a LOSER" (Does anybody think that?). This book reminds me (Jordan) of my brother sneaking into my room and taking candy. Our book reminds us of The Littles because both The Littles and Anatole like to go places and it's sort of like an adventure. You really couldn't tell what the ending would be because it's not a predictable book. Anatole was doing a bad thing but it turned out good. I think Anatole's the best book I ever read (Matt).We recommend this book to well...ANYBODY! Because it's a great book! |
223 | "Those mice sneak into my kitchen, they rummage around in my garbage pail, or pull themselves up to the table and take what is there," a woman said. Anatole, a mouse, was upset to overhear the bad things said about mice. He decided to show the humans that they were wrong about mice. See how Anatole proves that mice are very special. We like Anatole because he works hard and proves to others that mice are special too! I (partner) liked when Anatole put the signs on the cheese. The signs were funny. For example, one sign read "Not so good. All the signs were signed by Anatole. I (Nataly) liked when Anatole made the signs because it took a lot of work. He typed all the signs, put long pins through each sign, and packed them into his briefcase. This book has both black and white pictures as well as colored pictures. The colored pictures only have the colors red, white, and blue. We like the colored illustrations more than the black and white pictures. We recommend this book to mouse lovers and cheese lovers. We also recommend this story for people who try hard to be the best they can be! |
224 | This story is like a nursery rhyme but not like the ones you might know. If you remember the rhymes like Hey Diddle Diddle, Humpty Dumpty, or Little Miss Muffett, you will understand this one. In this story the characters in Hey Diddle Diddle have just finished their rhyme, but the dish and the spoon run away and don't come back! It's up to the cat, dog, and cow to go and find them. They meet other nursery rhyme characters on their way to find the dish and the spoon. The book was funny and the characters didn't talk like in the normal rhymes. It reminded me of the Stinky Cheese Man book where the stories and characters were a little different and kind of crazy. I liked how the author gave me clues in her writing about which nursery rhyme character was coming up next in the story. It was fun trying to figure it out.I think older kids will like this story because they'll know about it already but it's not to babyish like for little kids. They'll like the jokes and funny writing a lot! |
225 | Things were not going well for Bean. He was not good at basketball and his grades were really bad. Hennerly was good at everything and he made fun of Bean. One day things began to change. It all started with a glow in the sky. Bean couldn't believe it! An alien named Andro had landed in a spaceship and he was talking to him. The kids at school were going to think he was crazy. Is he here to help Bean or will he make things worse?Andro is a very interesting character. He is very smart and knows things because he lives in the future. He teaches Bean many important things like being polite. The illustrations in the book are black and white. There are not too many pictures because it is a chapter book. The pictures show what Bean and Andro look like.I would recommend this book to second or third graders who like to read fiction. You might be interested in this book if you like to read about happy endings. Bean has bad luck at the beginning of the story but things turn around thanks to his new friend, Andro. |
226 | This story is about a little boy named Andy. He didn't have anything to do and in his wagon he had letters. He wanted to play with the big kids but they didn't let him play. They stared playing with his letters. The big kids spelled different words with his letters. Because they didn't let him play he took back his letters.My favorite part is when the big kids were spelling words like Sandy. I like the pictures of the kids because they were funny dressing up in costumes and spelling words. I learned that you shouldn't let other people play with your toys unless you know them.The story reminds me of myself when a kid plays with my toy without asking me and I don't think that is nice.People who like to write and read will like this book because it is fun and everyone should read it because it helps you write and read. |

229 | Andy Shane meets Dolores Starbuckle whomakes elementary school very unpleasant becauseshe is “too bossy.” No one can answer a questionexcept Dolores until Granny Webb enters the scene.Will Andy and Dolores ever become friends?I liked this book because both Andy and Dolores learn an important lesson. They learn not to be too bossy. If you are bossy no one will listen to you, other kids will not want to be your friend and you will end up being lonely. I also find the story very funny. For example, Granny Webb was dancing all over the place and she looked silly. It reminds me of how I am sometimes with my brothers. I can be bossy to them and they can be bossy to me. They don’t like it if I am bossy to them and I don’t like it if they are bossy to me. Better to not be bossy! The illustrations are great, they are black and white and they have lots of texture and detail.I recommend it to kids who like black and white drawings. I also think that second graders would like it. It is a just right book. |

233 | In the story Rusty the Injured Fox Cub, I met Eva. Eva helps out at Animal Magic Rescue to get animals to feel better and to get them homes. One day Eva found a hurt fox cub. It was Rusty. She took him back to Animal Magic. One day Eva’s mom told her they would have to put Rusty back in the wild. Eva kept picking up Rusty and cuddling with him. Will Rusty want to go back in the wild? Read this book to see what happens to Rusty. Rusty got stuck on a rusty old piece of wire. I felt bad for Rusty because he was alone in the dark when he got hurt. My favorite part was when Eva tried to save Rusty. She tried to save Rusty because he was crying for help. Rusty was hurt in the wild and Eva heard him crying so she tried to find and help him. I recommend reading Rusty the Injured Fox Cub to someone who likes fox cubs. This book teaches you that we should care for wild animals because if we don’t help them they can die. |
234 | When you read this book you will learn about animals that hibernate in the winter and some others animals that do not hibernate. It tells you how animals hibernate and how other animals survive the harsh winters.I like this book because you learn about which animals hibernate. I also like the illustrations and diagrams in this story. My favorite part was seeing how the animals go underground to hibernate.I recommend this story to kids who like animals and also to kids who want to find out what hibernation is and how animals do it. It also would be a good book for teachers to use with their class in the fall and as a non-fiction story. |
235 | Animals on the Go is one of my favorite books. It was about some really cool animals like a mouse, wild horses, an ostrich, rabbits, bobcats, and cheetahs. I learned that Cheetahs can run up to 65 miles per hour. When I run my fastest, it feels like I'm flying, but I don't run 65 miles per hour.I like this book because I like reading and learning about animals. Cheetahs are my favorite. They are my favorite because they can run up to 65 mph. That's as fast as a car. They're the fastest animals. When I saw a real ostrich in Florida, I read the information about it. It told me that it was the biggest bird in the world. The book told me that, too. I recommend this book to people who like to learn about animals and like having animals. People should learn about animals in case they encounter animals in the forest or the woods. |
236 | Have you ever had an encounter with an alien? Well, in the book Animorphs Jack and his friends did. One second they were normal humans, next second they were animals. Literally. When Jack and his friends discover a U.F.O and get the power to morph along with learning his brother is captured and that aliens a trying to invade earth they will attempt to save his brother and stop the aliens… or die trying. What will happen next? Read the book to find out.I loved the book Animorphs because there was a lot of action. For example when they attacked the aliens they were getting run over, and it was really intense. It is impossible to remember it all because there was so much going on. My favorite part was when Jack turned into a dog. I thought it was creepy but at the same time I liked it. My least favorite character was Visser three because he was not a controller which is a Yerk and tries to take over the world.I would recommend this book to people that like science fiction. Or ages 8 to 10. It has shorter chapters and might creep you out but all of the creepy stuff was replaced by action! The author really makes you feel like a invisible character. Seriously I am not lying, if you are a big reader like me you won’t put the book down and I doubt I am wrong. This will be a book you will remember. |
237 | The book I read was Animorphs book #6.The author's name is K.A. It was about a boy named Jake and a yerk got into his head. Now I bet you are wondering what a yerk is. It is a slug type creature that gets into people's heads and controls them. His friends help him get the yerk out of his head. Jake and his friends can morph into animals. They help to get the yerk out of his head by morphing.My favorite part is when the yerk is talking to Jake because it is really cool how you can talk in your head what he is saying in whatever deep, scary voice you would like. The character changed because a yerk got into his head and he was saying things he wouldn't naturally say, like "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me!" But his friends knew something was fishy about him.The character that I found interesting was Cassie because she knows about everything that has to do with animals and at the same time she knows about everything else. She is also interesting because she is the best morpher. She also is my favorite character.The book made me think about if yerks were real and if people could really morph into animals then that would be really cool. You should really read this book to find out what it makes you think about.I would recommend this book to a friend because you don't know what is going to happen and when you put the book down you just want to pick it back up again. I loved the book because it is a cliffhanger and I didn't want to put the book down. All the books of that series are like that. |
238 | Have you ever heard of mind controlling aliens? He and his friends, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco can morph into dangerous animals now. They got this power from the Andalites so they can fight the Yeerks. The Yeerks are aliens that take control of bodies. Will the Animorphs win? Or will the earth be under the Yeerks control? If you want to find out, you will have to read the book. I liked this book because it is funny because Marco was being sarcastic for pretty much the whole book. An example of this is when they went to fight; he suggests they die so they won’t need to get killed. These characters remind me of my brother, Evan. He pretends to be a “Mwerp” and transform into other animals. The characters in the story can morph too. My favorite character was Jake because he was being brave in a hard situation. People who are nervous may like this book because Jake has a hard time deciding if they should fight. I recommend this book for 7-11 year olds because it has around 25 chapters. The part with the morphing may be interesting for scientists because if they can understand the morphing in the book, they may be able to make it possible for humans! |
239 | Marco a funny boy, Tobias a boy stuck in a hawk morph, Jake the fearless leader of the Animophs, Cassie a girl who loves animals, Rachel a girl who was made for war, and Ax an Andalite (All Animorphs) are going to their homes. When Rachel gets home her dad told her that he is moving and she can come if she wants. Rachel is so mad at her Dad that she turns into an Owl and flies away. Soon all the Animorphs where ready to go back to the Yeerk pool. They infiltrated the Yeerk pool in cockroach so they can't be seen. Suddenly a long grey stiky tounge comes on them and pulls them back into its mouth. The mouth belongs to a taxon. Do you think they can defeat the Yeerks? I enjoyed reading this book, especially when the Animorphs went into the future because it was surprising and scary. I think Rachel was the most interesting character because she was complex and takes lots of thought to find things out. I felt glued while I read this book. It was like could not put it down no matter how hard I tried.I recommend this book to people who like exciting adventures of kids just like you. You should also read this book because it is part of a long series. This book is a mixture of love, danger, heroics, and excitement. It's good for all ages. Read all the Animorphs books now. The Yeerks are among us! |
240 | This story is about aliens, called Yeerks that are invading Earth; and the Animorphs are fighting them. Yeerks are slugs that take over other life forms by invading their brains and controlling them. The Animorps are four humans name Marco, Jake, Rachel, Cassie, and a hawk named Tobias (who was once human) and an Andalite called AX. An Andalite is an alien that has no mouth, talks by telepathy, and has four legs, two arms, and a tail like a scorpion. There are other aliens like Hork-Bajir, Geeds, and Taxxons. They also can turn into any animal they touch. They got this power from an Andalite just before he died. I hope you read Animorphs #15, The Escape.This book is part of a series. This book is the same as the others books because they still fight the Yeerks. You might want to read it because you might like the suspense of the book. This book made me feel suspense like I will never finish the book. It also made me think what will happen next. There was a character that changed, Marco's mom. She is now Visser One, the leader of the Yeerks and now a slave. I recommend this book because it has things that could never happen. It's also fun to think about what will happen next. I hope you read Animorphs #15, the Escape. |
241 | This book is about a boy named Marco and his friends. They are called the Animorphs because they can morph into different animals. The animorphs have to stop the yerks from getting control of the world. Unfortunately Marcos' mom is a visser. Jake's brother is now a controller. Also Marco might get his math teacher as a mom. I liked this book because it had a lot of action. My favorite character was Marco because he reminds me of myself. He likes Play Station like me, he is a jokester like me and he is not too tall, like me.Do the animorphs save the world from taxxons and hork bagir? To find you have to read the book. I recommend this book to people who like science fiction books with lots of action and adventure. I enjoyed reading this book. I think you will too. |
242 | Have you ever felt scared out of your mind? If you have, you’ll understand how Anne Frank felt living a life in hiding. This book is about a 13 year old girl who is hiding from the Nazis. Anne and her family live in a secret Annex. She lives in there because she is a Jew and does not want to get caught by the Nazis. You find your way into the attic by pulling a book out of a book shelf which leads to a secret passage way. The Dutch police find out that Anne and her family are hiding. The Dutch police go to the office building and force one of the workers to tell them where Anne's family is hiding. They are caught and are sent to concentration camps. Do you think Anne’s family survives? You need to read this book to find out.I felt sad reading this book, but I am glad I read it. I did not like that Anne was sent to the concentration camp. I felt nervous and fightened when she was caught. I really liked the characters who helped Anne in the secret Annex, it made me feel hopeful that people can be kind. My favorite part is when Anne Frank’s Diary is published in 1947, because now I have a window into the life of a real person who lived through this period of time during WWII. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read biographies, history and about heroes like Anne Frank. Without her diary we would not know what life was like for a Jewish family in hiding during the holocaust. |
243 | Have you ever had someone not care about you? The book Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery is about a girl named Anne who finds a new family. In the beginning, Anne pleads desperately to Marilla and Matthew Cuthburt to keep her instead of going back to the orphanage. Matthew likes Anne and how sweet Anne is but Marilla doesn’t, especially when Marilla was expecting a boy. But of course, there are very strict rules. Later, Rachel Lynde, Marilla’s best friend, comes over and recommends school and a tea party for Anne, to make friends and learn. When Anne goes to school, she meets friends and enemies and soon becomes very smart and can even spell better than anyone else in the class. But, Anne competes with Gilbert, her arch enemy. You’ll have to read this book to find out what will happen with Anne and her new life at Green Gables, her home.In my opinion, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. First of all, Anne, the main character is very talkative. For example, Anne couldn’t stop talking when she and Matthew saw cherry trees on their way to Green Gables. Another reason is that the book just has you hooked from the first magnificent word. From the moment you get started you just can’t put the book down. In addition, the book teaches you how important it is to do well in school. Instead of not doing your homework or sitting being lazy, it might just come in handy that you can spell chrysanthemum correctly. All in all, I think Anne of Green Gables is a book you won’t want to miss. If you’re in the mood for excitement and elated moments then I think you’d enjoy L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Do you like reading books with adventure? I’d give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the moments it makes me laugh and cry. I’d recommend this book to someone who enjoys a lot of jubilant moments and someone who can cherish the magnificent friendships. Trust me, you are going to want to read the whole series once you finish this book, Anne of Green Gables. |

The second reason is people discover a long lost mermaid with a tail that sparkles. The third reason is there are strong details. They made the story so descriptive that I could imagine every part. It has strong details, amazing charters and it was creative.I recommend this book to people that like to move. A mermaid that lived in the ocean moves into a pool. One of the girls moves to Florida. Also one waiter moves to college. Read this book if you like to move! |

Soon his mother came and said "Why are you out of your nest Little Bird?" He said, "I was looking for you and I didn't see you Mother." So the mother bird gave Little Bird a lot of worms and he felt safe and happy.I like the part of the book when the little bird said, "I could not find you Mother!" It brought tears to my eyes when I read it. I'm sure he really missed his mother. I also liked the adorable pictures in this book. They were very cute and colorful too!

The ?snort? put her back in his nest.I liked this part the best because the bird was confused and thought the "snort" was an animal. The mother came back with food for the baby. The ?snort? was so nice to her! The pictures in the book are colorful.I like this book because it has a happy ending. The baby bird got back to his next and the mommy bird didn't even know he was gone! I would recommend this book to anyone that likes birds and steam shovels! |

262 | Once there was a mermaid princess named Ariel. Her book is about how much she loves to find humans' treasure, with her friend Flounder the fish. Ariel was curious, so she went to the surface of the ocean, but she wasn't supposed to because she was only fifteen years old, and she had to be sixteen to go to the surface. Ariel saw a boat with a boy and a girl in it. Ariel always wanted to see a real live human up close. Then, Ariel saw the girl drop her doll into the water. Then, Sebastian the crab, Ariel's teacher, came and said, "You can't keep that doll because that is from the human world, and your father doesn't like human world stuff." So Ariel gave it back to the girl, and went back home.I liked the book because the mermaid learned a lesson about taking human girls' toys for her collection. I liked the part when she took the fake pearls because it was just like when I took something, and I made an excuse! I think the book was good was the mermaid found treasure in the sunken ship because I like finding treasure too! I wonder if the mermaid wants to live on the land. I like how the book made me think about this. I love the drawings, because they are very nice.I recommend this book to my little sister, Dayanna, because she loves The Little Mermaid shows so much. |
263 | In this book, Mr. and Mrs. Noah own a pet store shaped like an ark. Six year old Sophie wants a pet because she is very lonely. Mr. and Mrs. Noah really want a grandchild, but they know that would be impossible because they have no children. Mr. and Mrs. Noah really like her. Sophie really likes them too because they give her special attention. Sophie has twin baby brothers and her parents are often paying attention to them. She is also happy to be working with animals, since she loves them so much.My favorite part of the story is when she gets to work at the store because that sounds like an interesting job to me. It's also nice that Mr. and Mrs. Noah have a chance to have a "grandchild". Sophie is a thoughtful girl and they enjoy her company. The characters in this story make it happy.I would recommend this book to my big sister Tina because she likes animals a lot. |
264 | There was a fish named Arlene and she wanted to be a sardine. She had about ten-hundred friends. Arlene was a very happy fish. But, she would have been happier if she was a sardine. Then one day Arlene was caught in a net and died. However, her story is not over.My favorite part was when Arlene was trapped in the net. This was my favorite part because this was the first step to her journey. The illustrations were beautiful because they were different from other books I have read. When I read this book I felt gloomy because Arlene died, then I felt happy at the end.I think someone should read this book because it is a fun story. Also, if you like happy endings then this is a good book for you. |
265 | This book is about an armadillo that lives in the desert. Every night he goes out to see different animals and to look at the harvest moon. He sees so many things! The armadillo tries to find out what the moon is. If you want to see if the armadillo finds out what the moon is, then you have to read it!I liked this book because it is colorful and it has lots of shapes and animals. It also helped me learn more about the moon. I also like the book because it taught me that you can help your friends with something.I highly recommend this magnificent book to kids that like lots of colors, animals, and the moon. I think kids that can read should read this book because they can learn lots of facts about the moon. You can also learn about animals that live in the desert! |
266 | At one time Armadillo had very big ears. "Armadillo's ears were as tall as a jackrabbit's and as wide as a steer's horns." When animals told stories to other animals, Armadillo told more animals what he thought he heard but he often told them the wrong thing. He always cried when he got in trouble. Everyone gave Armadillo the what-for and the how-come and the why-not. When Alligator found out that Armadillo had told tales about her. . . well you'll have to read the book to find out what happens but we can tell you that Armadillo learned his lesson to never tell tales. We think this book is funny because Armadillo's ears are long and they stick up above his hiding place while he is eavesdropping but none of the other animals noticed. Our favorite part was when Armadillo cries. The illustration shows him crying buckets of tears. You have to read this book because the illustrations will make you laugh out loud. I (Kyohei) like the illustrations because Keith Graves used dark colors. It makes me (Chris) laugh when Armadillo's ears were sticking out of his hiding place. We liked when Armadillo messed up what he heard and told other animals the wrong thing. It's like playing the game of Telephone!We recommend this book to people who tattletale themselves. We also recommend this book to people who like animals talking in stories. Everybody who likes animals would like this book. People who like to read folk tales would also like this story. |
267 | Once, very early in the morning, Arnie the Doughnut was cooked up and put on a tray. Arnie is a very curious doughnut. He wanted to remember what happened to him when he was getting made. He loved every moment of it. He met all sorts of pastries. He knew that lots of people came from all over town to meet doughnuts (or so he thinks). Then someone reached down and chose him! The man who chose him was Mr. Bing. He thought there was a grand exit for him. He was bumpy on the way home (he was in a car). They finally got home. Arnie thought it was really cute that Mr. Bing was holding him. Then Arnie felt himself go up, and up, and up. He was terrified. He used the man's phone and called the bakery. He asked the baker if the other doughnuts knew they were going to get eaten. They all shouted, "YES. Arnie dropped the phone. He was crushed. He didn't want to hear another word. He got onto the plate and said...wait. So for you to find out, you will have to read the book!I like Arnie the Doughnut because I think this story has great illustrations that are hilarious. My favorite part is when Arnie was remembering what happened when he was getting made. The author made a how-to illustration to show everyone what Arnie was thinking. It was kind of like a comic book. I learned a lesson, and that lesson is...that you should never want to be someone else. You are good enough the way you are. You should never try to change. It made me prouder of who I am.I recommend this funny and entertaining book to to everyone because of the illustrations. The colors are bright and cheerful. Sometimes you can actually see the brush strokes. They really pop out to me. I think anyone who loves talking doughnuts and nonsense would love this book. It teaches you to keep being you who are and it taught me to by myself everyday, and to have more confidence in my everyday life. |
268 | This book is about the life and adventures of a doughnut.My favourite part of the book is when the man eats the doughnut. It's very funny!My favourite character is Arnie the doughnut because because he is cute and clever. I like the pictures because they are colourful and attractive.I think every boy and girl would like to read this book because it’s nice to read and it's funny. |
269 | The book is about a man named Phileas Fogg who travels around the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg learns a lesson in this book. He runs out of money so he learns that in the future he shouldn't spend all his money. The illustrations are good because they are detailed and look real. I like this book because there is a big adventure. This book reminds me of the series The Magic Tree house, it also has a lot of adventures.I recommend this book for other readers because it is about a man’s adventure. I recommend this book for grades 3rd and 4th. |
270 | The Art Lesson, by Tomie dePaola, is about a boy named Tommy and he wants to be an artist when he grows up. When Tommy goes to first grade he gets mad at the art teacher because she said to copy her and draw a picture. Tommy thought that real artists draw and paint the picture and do not copy them, so Tommy got really mad at the art teacher.I think this book is a great book for young readers. The Art Lesson teaches people that you don't have to copy other people's work. In the book, Tommy decided to draw something that he wanted to draw and not just copy the teacher. This book tells young readers you can do what you want without listening to what other people tell you to do.I recommend this book to young readers, ages three and up, especially in grades kindergarten to third. I enjoyed the book too and I'm in third grade. I give this book three stars! |
271 | The Art of Keeping Cool is about a boy named Robert and his family and the experiences they have during World War II. Robert, his mom and his sister moved to Sachems Head, Rhode Island because Robert's dad was fighting in Europe. Robert's grandparents and his cousin Elliot were living there. This was the first time Robert had met Elliot, who is very shy and Grandpa pushes him around a lot.After a little while, Robert finds out Elliot is visiting a German artist named Able Hoffman. Robert thinks Able is a spy for Germany. Most of the town hates Able. Elliot does all the shopping for Able because Able doesn't want to go into the middle of the town. Some people start Able's paintings on fire then Able walks into the fire and dies.Robert's mom gets a letter saying Robert's father's plane got shot down and they don't know where he is. If you want to find out if Robert's father is found you will have to read the book.I found Elliot really interesting. He was very shy but he still would go visit Able and go shopping for him. He would also get away from Grandpa by not looking at him.My favorite part was people were chasing Able and he walked into the fire. This was my favorite part because I thought it was very descriptive. I also thought it was strange when the crowd was chasing after Able because a lot of people were chasing him and they couldn't catch him. When I was reading this book I wondered what it would be like to have loved one at war. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be their spouse or child.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read historical fiction. I also think people who like chapter books would like this. |
272 | The Art of Keeping Cool by Janet Taylor Lisle is about a young brown haired boy named Robert and his family. Robert's dad, Lenny left home to serve in the U.S. Air Force. Robert lives on a farm in Ohio with chickens, pigs and other animals. Because Robert's dad left, Robert, his sister Carolyn and their mom moved to Sachems Head, Rhode Island.

One day someone set Abel's house on fire and burnt his paintings. Shortly after Robert's dad's plane is shot down. Weeks later they receive a letter that says Robert's dad was found in the English Channel alive and living. Everyone was overjoyed when he returned. I thought it was weird when Abel walked into the fire, it just happened so suddenly. I was happy when I learned Robert's dad was okay. I was really down when Lenny's plane was shot down.I recommend this book to children and adults because things happen that make you want to be there. When you read this you get stuck until you finish the book. All people will love this book. |
273 | Opal Koboi breaks out of jail and plans to make the human and fairie worlds have a war. Can Artemis Fowl, Butler, Holly Short, Commander Root, and Mulch Diggums stop her?I like this book because there are a lot of trolls. I also like this book because it has interesting vehicles in it. The author wrote the book very well because he described everyone really well and painted a picture in your mind. He made the story a great read. This book is good for kids who like adventures. |
274 | Do you want to know how Arthur got into a solid case? Then I'll tell you a little about it. It all started when Arthur collected money for Ms. MacGrady, the lunch lady, to help b Ms. MacGrady because she was trying to raise money to buy a dog for the fire department. Arthur volunteers to help her raise the money. Someone stole the quarters that Arthur collected to help Ms. MacGrady. Buster thinks that Arthur stole the quarters. Will Buster find out what happenened to the quarters?Our favorite part is when Arthur gets a high score. It reminds me (Lorenzo) of when I got a high score on a Nintendo 64 game. We liked the book because it was funny. We liked the book because everybody tried to help out. I (Michael) like the book because Buster tries to help out and tries to act like a detective. That was my favorite part.This book is a good book for people who like detective stories. This is also a good book if you like to solve cases as you read. This book is a detective book. |
275 | One day Prunella got a Cootie Catcher on her half birthday. The magic only works if you get the Cootie Catcher on your half birthday. One time Arthur asked the Cootie Catcher if Binky would sing a silly song, and he did. Then Binky asked if he should carry his good luck charm everywhere; the Cootie Catcher said yes, so he did. But the Brain, another friend of Prunella and Binky and Arthur, didn’t listen to the Cootie Catcher and his bike got run over. Then Francine asked the Cootie Catcher, “Should we stop listening to you?” and it said yes, so they threw it in the trash.I like this story because it’s funny and has a lot of magic. My favorite part was when the cootie catcher got lost. I like Arthur because he’s always nice to people. The Brain reminds me of my brother because he is really smart. I think that it’s unique because it has magic. This book made me feel happy.I would recommend this book because it’s funny and has magic. I would think my teacher would love this book because she loves Marc Brown and other authors; also, she’s a book person. People in K-2 would probably like this book because it’s appropriate for their age. People would probably like the part where the cootie-catcher got lost. |
276 | Arthur is 8 years old and in the third grade. He has a younger sister named D.W. Arthur and his friends Francine, the Brain, Binky, Buster and Sue Ellen are at Prunella’s house for her half-birthday party. Her sister Rubella reveals something called the fortune-teller’s cootie-catcher. She tells them that it would change their lives forever. Then the kids start trying it out and the fortune-teller’s predictions start to come true. For example, the fortune-teller predicts that Buster would get an A on his geography test and he does. The Brain tells Arthur not to listen to the fortune-teller but Arthur wants to listen to it because if you don’t you will be cursed. When the Brain does not listen to the cootie-catcher, he gets cursed and his bike gets run over by a truck. After that, nobody in his right mind would disobey the cootie-catcher. But, after a while, Arthur and his friends are getting tired of the cootie-catcher telling them what they should do, so they want to throw it away, but they were too scared of getting cursed. So they decided to….Well, you just have to read the book to find out! I love this book in so many ways because it is so good. I love all of the illustrations because they are funny. For example, in the picture when Buster gives Prunella a half-eaten chocolate bar, she looks scared. There are also a lot of funny parts in the book. That’s also why it’s good. For example, when Buster says, “I don’t even get ‘A’s in my alphabet soup” when he and his friends were talking about if Buster was going to get an ‘A’ on his geography test. I like this book because the characters are nice. They don’t yell at each other even when they don’t agree.I would recommend this book to kids in grades 1 through 3 who like mysteries. The book is not too long and not too short, it’s perfect. Also, if you like animals who act like humans, this book is great for you. |
277 | Arthur is 8 years old. He has a little sister named D.W., a mom and a dad. Arthur also has a best friend named Buster. In this book, Arthur gets an envelope in a cereal box. It says, “Welcome to the Crunch Cereal Jingle Contest! Send us your song and you could win a year’s supply of Crunch Cereal!” To win the contest, Arthur has to come up with a jingle for the cereal and turn in 20 box tops from the cereal box. Arthur tries and tries but he can’t come up with a jingle. So Buster suggests that Arthur create a band. Arthur holds auditions with Binky, Muffy, Buster, Francine, Sue Ellen, Prunella, the Brain and Grandma Thora. They form a band and call it the Crunch Bunch Band. D.W., Arthur’s younger sister, wants to try out but Arthur won’t let her. The band tries out instruments in Arthur’s garage. The music is really loud and the neighbors get annoyed by it. They complain and a policewoman comes to the door of the garage. She gives the band a warning. Sue Ellen and Muffy don’t want to get arrested, so the band packs up and says they will be back after lunch. The band gets back together and they are all sad because they don’t have a jingle yet and the contest is coming soon. Suddenly, Arthur comes into the garage and… You’ll just have to read the book to find out!Arthur and D.W. made me laugh when D.W. said, “Oh everyone thinks that my brother stinks like a piece of yellow cheese!” I liked when the illustrator made a really funny drawing of Binky when he was playing the saxophone because Binky made a really funny face. My favorite character is Buster because he is kind. For example, Buster helps Arthur when Arthur has a dream that everyone is booing him because of his jingle. I recommend this book for kids ages 6 to 9 because it’s not too hard and it’s not too easy. I also think 6 to 9 are perfect ages because Arthur is a children’s series and TV show. |
278 | This story is about an aardvark named Arthur. Arthur and his friends look for his lost diary. Binky, Francine, and Sue Ellen are all his friends. They look everywhere. Who took it? Read the book and find out. I like this book because it is very funny. I liked how Arthur?s friends tricked him. I recommend this book to all second graders. It is a fun mystery. |
279 | Sue Ellen and her friends are in the library looking for books for their assignment. When Sue Ellen is walking to put her books down, she loses her diary but doesn’t know it. She looks for her diary and doesn’t see it there. Her whole life is in her diary. It says “Private” on it, but Sue Ellen is worried that her friends will find it before she does, and read what she said about them. So Sue Ellen tells Mrs. Turner, the librarian, and Mrs. Turner tells her not to get upset and that she will help Sue Ellen find it. After that, Sue Ellen tells Francine that she lost the diary and that she wrote things about everybody in the diary. Then Francine tells Muffy. Muffy says that Sue Ellen probably wrote about Francine because Francine pushed Sue Ellen in the mud last week and laughed. Francine starts to imagine all the terrible things Sue Ellen wrote about her. Muffy tells Binky that Sue Ellen lost her diary, and then Binky tells Arthur that Sue Ellen lost her diary. Francine, Muffy, Binky, and Arthur are worried so they look around the library for the diary. Arthur finds the diary and they all talk to see if they should read it or not. They want to read the diary, but they don’t want to open it in case they get caught. They think about different ways the diary would open without them touching it. You should read this book to find out if they read the diary!I like this book because it’s exciting because there is a mystery in the book. I wanted to keep reading to find out if Sue Ellen finds her diary. I like the characters because they are good friends. They were a team trying to find Sue Ellen’s diary. I like the author’s style because he wrote what the characters were imagining in a different font.I recommend this book to kids who are ages 7, 8, and 9 who like mysteries. I think kids who like books with animals who act like humans would enjoy this book. |
280 | This book is about a contest. The contest is a poetry contest. Fern is the only one who is entering the contest. She dares Arthur and his friends to enter. Arthur does not want to enter but he does anyway. He works hard to write a really good poem for the contest because he wants to beat Fern. Being in the poetry contest turns out to be a good thing for everybody! I really like this book because I like poems that rhyme and I enjoy contests. The illustrations are awesome because they really help me understand the story better. My favorite character is Arthur because he wears glasses like me. Those things are why I like this book.I recommend this book to 7 year olds. I think they would like the contest that they have in the story. The book is part of a series of Arthur books. If you like Arthur books, you might want to read this one because of the characters and what happens to them. |
281 | A girl named D.W. gets a gerbil named Speedy from school. She takes it home on Christmas. She leaves the gerbil right next to the Christmas tree. Arthur gives him cheese and he goes up on the Christmas tree. The next day, everyone couldn’t find him. Then Arthur found him on top of the Christmas tree. Then they start finding him everywhere! They found him in the carrot cake, D.W.’s dollhouse, and Arthur’s boot. D.W. said she was going to give Speedy a bath. Then they looked everywhere and they couldn’t find him. Then when D.W. went to sleep she found him under her sheet. The teacher asked, “was Speedy trouble?” and she said “No.” I think this book is so weird because why would you get a Gerbil in Christmas? The gerbil is so stupid because it doesn’t even know where it’s going. It’s just going everywhere and everywhere. It keeps going to the same place every day. I think he did a so-so job on the illustrations. It was bad because he made the gerbil’s food different colors on different pages. I think the book was not funny. It was corny. I would tell Marc Brown to not put any more gerbils in his books anymore. I recommend this book to Brian because he likes gerbils and he likes to carry them everywhere, even to his job. I would recommend this book to kindergarteners because they like read alouds. They would think it is interesting. I would not recommend this book to people who like Christmas because then they are going to go crazy and think that it is Christmas everyday. I would recommend this book to Nora because she likes aardvark with clothes on and hair. |
282 | In the story Arthur and the True Francine by Marc Brown, it is a brand new school year. In the beginning, Arthur and his friends are not looking forward to getting Mr. Ratburn for their teacher. When they checked the class list, they are in his class! The problem is that one day Muffy cheats on a math test by looking at Francine's paper. Mr. Ratburn calls them up to his desk and both girls are in trouble. At Billy's Burger Barn, Muffy tells the truth about cheating so Mr. Ratburn makes her clean the board everyday. Our favorite part of the story is when Muffy tells the truth because she really did it. Our least favorite character is Mr. Ratburn because he is mean. This story relates to our lives because we are good at baseball like the kids in the story. The story has colorful pictures that help us understand what's going on.We think others should read it because it is a good book with a funny ending. |

At camp they played outdoor games, like shooting arrows. Camp Horsewater scared the kids from Camp Meadowcroak everyday. Then it was time for the scavenger hunt. Do you think that Arthur's team will win the scavenger hunt? Do you think that Arthur will make new friends? Do you think Arthur will end up liking camp?

284 | Arthur doesn't want to go to camp but he went anyways. He was very homesick for a couple of days. He kept writing letters to his parents asking them if he could come home. One day there was a scavenger hunt. Arthur found the last missing item which was a flashlight. He was a hero. He decided that camp wasn't so bad after all.Our favorite part was when Arthur and Brain were in the tent and the frogs got in. It was very gross. This story reminds us of when we go to the mountains to see the snow. Now we want to go to camp and have a good time too. We think you should read this book because you will have a good time reading it and you will laugh a lot. |
285 | This book was about Arthur?s first camping trip. Camp was terrifying for him. Francine and Muffy liked camp because they won all the games, such as canoeing, running, racing, and archery. Scary things happened at camp such as smoke bomb, frogs in the tent, and clothes being stolen. Then one night, Buster and the Brain found out the Horsewater kids were behind it. So at the scavenger hunt the Meadowcroak team played a joke on the Horsewater team and Arthur ran away from camp. All the Meadowcroak team needed was a flashlight to win. Arthur did not know where he was going but ended up coming back with a flashlight. Arthur saved the day and wanted to come back to camp next year because he was so happy.I liked the book because the girls and the boys did not know that it was their opponents who were making the scary noises and pranks. I also liked the little postcards that Arthur made to his Mom and Dad because it told me something that Arthur was feeling and doing.I would recommend this book to whoever watches Arthur on TV. I would also recommend it to kids who have just finished second grade because they would find the book not too hard, not too easy to read. I would recommend this book to whoever goes camping. |
286 | In the book Arthur Goes to Camp the main characters are Arthur and Arthur's friend. The setting is at Camp Meadowcroak. The problem was Arthur didn't want to go to camp, but at the end he liked it. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens at camp.My favorite part is when Camp Meadowcroak wins the scavenger hunt against Camp Horsewater. I liked it because it was very funny.This book is like all the other Arthur books because the characters are mostly all the same.This story reminds me of when I went to Lotus Lake Camp. I had fun just like Arthur and his friends.Kids from first grade to fourth grade would like this book. Parents would enjoy reading this book to their kids. |

Then, he starts having fun doing some of the activities. At the end, Arthur wins a nighttime scavenger hunt and writes to his parents that he had a great time.Our favorite part was when the camp kids got their underwear pulled down because it was really funny. Our favorite character is Rocky is because he doesn't like the boxes. The story relates to our lives because we have been to camp before. The pictures tell us what is going on and are very helpful. We think you should read this story because it teaches you to be appreciative of going to camp. |
288 | In Arthur locked in the library. It is about Arthur and Francine locked in the library. In this book Arthur and Francine got locked in the library. Arthur got locked in the library because Arthur fell asleep. In this book Arthur and Francine tried ideas to get out like they tried books and their moms. I think this book is interesting because they got locked in a library. To begin with, Arthur and Francine got locked in the library different ways. It was suspenseful because they could be in there for the whole weekend? This book is exiting because I like the solutions they tried to get out. I liked it because it kept my attention. I would recommend this book to kids who like Arthur books and mysteries.I believe this book would be perfect for people in first grade because it makes them want to know what happens next. I think it is good for first grade because it has words they can understand. |
289 | The story Arthur Locked in the Library is about Arthur and Francine getting locked in the library. They do not like each other but they have to stay with each other. In the beginning of Arthur Locked in the Library, Francine was being rude to Arthur. In the middle of the story, Mr. Ratburn partnered up Francine with Arthur for their project and Arthur slept for too long and Francine listened to music while reading for too long and they got they got locked in the library. They were stacking books to open the window but they thought the window wasn’t opened in a long time. Near the end Arthur heard screaming he thought Francine was in trouble. You have to read the book to find out what happened. Do you imagine if you were with someone that you do not like alone locked in a library? I liked how Francine found the junk food in the teacher’s room because I would love to be locked in the library without anyone telling me not to eat the food. The thing I would not want to do is get in trouble for eating the food. I would like to eat the junk food because it tastes so good! I would also want to watch TV. The illustrations showed what happened in the story. For example, in the story when the author wrote, ‘’The pizza was gone, and several empty packages of chips and cookies were scattered around.’’ They showed that in the picture. The unique thing about the book is that Arthur slept and when he woke up he was locked in the library and Francine was listening to music while reading for too long. That’s how they got locked in the library. I liked this book because Francine found something to do while she was locked in the library. The thing that she did was eat junk food and watched a movie but I wouldn’t want to get in trouble for doing it. I recommend this book to people that like problems getting solved at the end. I also recommend this book to 2nd to 4th graders. I recommend this book to 2nd and 4th graders because I think it would be good for them but too easy for 5th graders. |
290 | In the beginning of this story, Arthur calls Francine, a girl in Arthur’s class, a marshmallow because her sweater looks like one. Arthur is assigned partners with Francine to research a real hero. They have to write a report on the hero they choose. Francine wants to meet Arthur in the library to do the research.

They realize it’s Saturday and the library is closed until Monday. Arthur and Francine try a few ways to get out. They try climbing on a pile of books to get out the window, looking for a book on how to escape from the library, and calling Francine’s mom. Muffy calls the library and Francine tries to tell her that they were locked in the library, but Muffy thought she called Francine instead of the library, so she hangs up. Will Arthur and Francine get out of the library or will they stay there all weekend? Read the book to find out!My favorite part of this book is when Arthur is reading about Joan of Arc and he imagines he is the British fighting the French. I like it because I really like history and that seemed interesting to me. I was surprised by the ending because I didn’t expect that the story would end that way. In the beginning, when Arthur was walking down the hallway and someone behind him yells, “ARTHUR READ!” I wondered who it was and it made me want to read more.I recommend this book to kids who are in second grade and who like suspense because Arthur and Francine are trapped in the library and you don’t know if they will escape. I also think boys and girls who like the genre realistic fiction would like this book. |

293 | I'm a book reviewer for the book Arthur Meets the President. Arthur and his class enter a contest to meet the president. When Mr. Ratburn announced the winner, it was Arthur. Arthur and his family and his class got to go the capital and meet the president. My favorite part was when Arthur won the contest because he got to meet the president. There were pictures of the White House and the pictures were different colors. This book is not like other Arthur books because Arthur gets to see the president and he doesn't in the other Arthur books. I would recommend this book because it's great. |
294 | Mr. Ratburn told his class to write an essay on America. The person that wrote the best essay would get to go to the White House. Arthur wrote the best one so he won the contest. The next day everyone was in Washington D.C. Arthur met the president at the White House. Then he had to recite his essay but he couldn't remember it. D.W. hung upside down on a tree and held a paper that had Arthur's speech on it. He read it and didn't miss a single word.Our favorite part was when Arthur won because it is cool that he meets the president. This story reminds us of when we wrote letters to the president for social studies. We like D.W. in this story because she helped Arthur out. She is usually a pest in all of the other Arthur stories.We think you should read this book because it's a good book.You will learn that it is good to be nice to your brother. |
295 | Arthur Rocks with Binky is about Arthur and the rock group called Binky. They go on stage and sing. Arthur and his friends love their music. But Binky wasn't real and Arthur and his friends thought they were real. They were actually holograms.My favorite part was when Arthur touched one of the members of Binky. She wasn't real. Arthur got frightened. She was a hologram and Arthur's hand went right through her! I liked the pictures very much. The illustrations are very humorous. My favorite character in this story was Arthur. He loved the rock group Binkey and was so excited to go to their concert. The look on his face made me really laugh when he found out that Binkey was not real. I would recommend this book to all kids that like to watch the Arthur show. Also to children that like to read chapter books, because Arthur Rocks with Binky is a chapter book. |
296 | This book is about when Arthur wakes up early. He put on his clothes, he cleans his room really fast and goes over to visit his friends but his friends are too busy. So he asked his mother what he should do and the mother said that he should use his own imagination so he tries to think about it and imagines if he could help his friends what to do they need help so they could play with him.I liked this book because Arthur was good and helped his friends. He used his own imagination and I liked that. For example when he thought his friends needed help he imagined he could be a super hero and help them so they could play together earlier. It was funny when the brain didn’t know that the ice cream freezer was unplugged because he should have checked the plug.I would recommend this book to my brother because my brother likes superheroes. It is a fun story, and there is a superhero who helps people. My brother would like this superhero because the superhero helps people do things like cleaning up his room, helping with gardening, and when stuff doesn’t work, he sees what’s wrong with it. I would recommend this story to my brother because he would learn from the story. |
297 | Arthur has many ideas for his stories. His first story is about how he got his puppy Pal. D.W. said to make the story about elephants instead. Buster wanted Arthur to write about outer space. Mr. Ratburn said to leave out the dancing elephants so Arthur turned in his original story on how he got Pal.Our favorite part was when Arthur kept changing his mind about his story. All of the pictures are so funny, especially the ones with the elephants. This story reminds us of when we did the same thing when we had to write a story for class. We think others should read it because it and it will make you laugh. |
298 | Arthur is going to write a story for homework. He decides to write about getting a dog. His sister thinks he should write about elephants. His friend doesn?t think Arthur?s story is very interesting. Arthur gets a fantastic idea when his father says, ?Please pass the corn. They look like they are made of watercolor paint. Because Arthur?s ears are on top of his head, instead of on the side, I don?t know how his glasses stay on. The pictures don?t show that. Mostly the pictures match the story. When Arthur says, ?Corn! That?s it! ?, the picture shows Arthur?s arms flying up and a big smile on his face. My favorite picture is where the elephants are gray with purple stripes. Arthur is thinking about his story.If you like Arthur Writes a Story, you should watch Arthur?s T.V. shows on PBS. This is the best book I have read. |
299 | Arthur's teacher told Arthur's class that they have to write a story. Arthur wrote about his puppy Pal. D.W. told Arthur that she doesn't like that story and it's boring. Arthur then changed his story so D.W. would like it. Then Arthur read his story to his friends and when they did not like it he changed the story so they would like it too. He added jokes and he made it into a song. When he read it to his class at the end, the whole class and his teacher didn't like it. His teacher told him he should have stuck with his story about his puppy Pal.I liked this book because he wrote a story and we are writing stories in my class and it can help me. My favorite part was when he was telling the story to his friends and they didn't like it but then they liked the story about his puppy. Arthur is my favorite character because he was in the story the most and he wrote a good story.I recommend this book to my little brother and his friends because they like to read Arthur books and they really like them. |
300 | In the story Arthur Writes a Story by Marc Brown, Arthur has to write a story for his class. Mr. Ratburn assigns each student a story to write. Arthur starts his story right away. The problem is he has a good story, but then he copies Buster's idea and then adds singing. Arthur adds more details that make his story more confusing. Mr. Ratburn tells him to stick to his original story about his puppy Pal because he really liked it. Our favorite part is when Arthur does his funny, weird, and short dance because it is hilarious. Mr. Ratburn is our favorite character because he's a tall, long rat with stinky feet and he is strict. This story relates to our lives because we go to a fun, happy school. This story has pictures and they help tell us what the words mean. We think others should read this story because it shows you the correct way to write a story. |
