Arthur's mom had an idea to have a garage sale because he had so much junk in his room and no where to put it. But Buster and all of his friends didn't have any money. So Arthur traded all of his toys to get more toys. Arthur had so many toys that he didn't know where to put them. You should read the book so you can find out the surprise ending!I (Andrew) like Arthur because he had a messy room. I (Jonathan) liked this book because I wish I had a messy room but my mom says, "No!" I (Mu Gil) liked this book because Arthur trades everything.We recommmend this book to kids who like having their room messy. If you are a kid who has a lot of toys and no where to put them you should have a garage sale. We think kids should read this book because they might have a garage sale to clean their room.

This book is about Arthur. His mom told him to clean his room. Buster was the first one there and said, "I'll trade you my bionic bunny for your spyglasses." Then Francine came with a wagon and some comic books. Arthur said, "cool cat comics!" Francine said, "Wow, is that a World Cup soccer game?" They traded and Arthur told his mom that he gave away all of his toys. When they went upstairs to look at his room, Arthur crossed his fingers. His mom heard a loud crash and they ran to D.W.'s room and saw lots of toys and Arthur's room was still a mess.I like this book because he had lots of toys and he had a garage sale. I also liked that his room was messy. My favorite part was when Francine traded her comic books with Arthur because they were special to Francine. I recommend this book to a sad person because I think it will be fun for them to read. I think other third graders will like this book.

If you like problem, problem, problem books, then you will like Arthur, For the Very First Time. Arthur’s mother is going to have a baby. So she sends Arthur over to his Uncle Wrisby’s house for the summer. Moira is a girl who follows Arthur everywhere. Arthur and Moira are going to build a pen for Bernadette, a pig that is going to have babies. Will Bernadette refuse to go in the pen or go into it immediately? You’ll have to read this book to find out. I think this book was a good book because the pictures bring out the words. The pictures are full of detail and emotion. I think the book was meaningful because it brought out problems and actually fixed the problems. One problem was when Arthur and Moira got drunk. They fixed it by getting a doctor and having the doctor check on them until they weren’t sick. Lastly, I think the book was funny. When Moira asked Arthur if he had ever thought about being a vet, the book says, “Arthur hadn’t but he had a sudden vision of himself surrounded by sick animals. Some with bandaged legs, some on crutches.” My favorite part was when they figured out that Pauline was not in the pot of chicken because I wanted everyone to be safe. I liked the characters of Bernadette and Arthur’s mom because they both are going to have babies and it was not just one.I recommend this book to 7-10 year olds because people who are younger may not understand it and people who are older may think that it is too easy. I think people who like problems should read this book because it has a lot of problems in it. People in grades 2-4 should read it. This book is a problem solver.

In the end, Binky finds out that Arthur was just playing an April Fool's joke on him.Our favorite part of the story is when Arthur was about to cut Binky in half because Binky screamed for his life. We thought this was really funny and the picture made us laugh. Our favorite character is Binky because he is crazy and weird. In the story, he screams for his life during the magic trick which is hilarious. This book relates to our lives because we have April Fool's Day too and like to play tricks.This book has really good pictures that help tell the story.

Francine said Arthur will start talking baby talk and Buster said, "Forget about playing after school. You'll have to babysit." Arthur's baby sister Kate was a very cute baby except Arthur was afraid to pick Kate up because she would cry. To find out how it ends, read this book.What I (Ashley) like about this book is that it brings back memories about me, my brother and my sister because when I was little I cried a lot too. It brings back memories for me (Brenna) because when I went to the hospital I got to see the babies. We like the illustrations because it really shows that Arthur and D.W. were really surprised by getting a baby. We like the illustrations because they look like real cartoons.I recommend this book because it shows you that babies are very important and whoever likes babies should read this book. If your mom is having a baby you would like to read this book. It's also a good book for moms who are going to have baby.

This book will touch your heart if you have a baby of your own! We think the wrting and illustrations are excellent! We also think if you like Arthur books, then you will love this one! I, Jessica like the part when they go to the hospital to see baby Kate. Dad says, "She has your nose Arthur. So Arthur says, "I think she has DW?s mouth. I, Victoria like the part when DW says, "Those presents are not for you, they are for baby Kate." Our favorite characters are Buster, DW, Arthur, Francine, and Muffy. We think the illustrations are awesome because Marc Brown put the "wa, wa, wa,wa" coming out from the cute gray baby carriage. It was so hysterical... that we think this is our favorite book!We recommend this excellent book to children or parents everywhere who likes or loves or has a baby. We also recommend this book to people that want a baby of their own but can?t have one. So when those people read this book it will give them a little clue of having babies.

The mother packed her stuff inside her suitcase and went to the hospital to get the baby out of her stomach. D.W. and Arthur were happy to see the baby. D.W. was excited to see her baby sister. Arthur was maybe not excited to see his baby sister. In the middle of the book, his mother told him to baby-sit. His sister D.W. said that she would baby-sit. Arthur was sitting on the couch. When the doorbell rang, it was Arthur?s friends. D.W. said he could not play because he needed to baby-sit. Then D.W. told Arthur?s friends to come in if they wanted to see the baby, and but she told them don?t go close to the baby because they had germs on their hands. The mother was upstairs in Arthur?s room fixing stuff for the new baby. The baby started to cry and D.W. didn?t know what to do. She shook the baby, she kissed the baby. But she still was crying.

The story is about how Arthur's mother is having a baby. D.W. is happy about it and Arthur is mad. Arthur's friends tease him about how the baby acts. Arthur thinks that babies are taking over the world because everywhere he goes he sees triplets or a crib. One day when Arthur comes home, D.W. wanted to teach him how to change a baby's diaper. His mother wanted to show him a photo album. The album has pictures of when Arthur and D.W. were babies. Arthur asked his mother, ?Is that really me?" And his mother said, "Yes!" His mom started putting her clothes in a suitcase because she said that the baby can come out any day. And she said that she needed to be ready to go to the hospital. The next day, their grandmother was in the kitchen fixing pancakes for Arthur and D.W. . The grandmother said, "You're having a new baby sister!" Arthur doesn't want another sister. And then they went to the hospital to see the baby. The baby was in the crib, crying. The baby's name is Kate. When the mother came home with the baby, the father kept on taking pictures. And presents kept coming to the house. D.W. told Arthur, ?The presents aren't for you, they're for the baby.? The mother asked Arthur, "Do you want to hold the baby?" And D.W. said, "Can I hold the baby, first?" The mother said it was Arthur's turn. When the mother needed help, she asked Arthur to watch Kate. Arthur asked, "Me?" When Arthur's friends came by the house, D.W. told them that Arthur couldn't play because he had to baby sit. D.W. told them not to go too close to the crib because the baby was sleeping. The baby opened her eyes and D.W. knew she wanted her bottle. After that, the baby started crying loudly. Then D. W. started rocking her and the baby still wouldn't stop crying. D.W. said to Arthur, "It's your turn to baby sit!" Arthur took the baby, patted her on the back and burped her. And then Kate was happy and so was Arthur.I liked the book because it reminded me of when I was little. I cried and my mother didn't know why I cried. Then she gave me my bottle and she burped me. I burped and then I fell asleep in my crib. I think people should read this book to their children. If they had a younger sister, when they read this book to them, they can remember what happened when they were little. Maybe parents might want to read it. So when they have another child, they can know how the older child would feel. If you enjoy the book, then you can watch the show on PBS. And you will probably think that the book is like the TV show.

Arthur is planning a birthday party but Muffy is having one that day, too. Muffy is having a concert and can’t book it on a different day and has waiting years for it. They decide to spend part of the day at Muffy’s and the rest of the day at Arthur’s house. Arthur is with his dad shopping for something and when he comes home, everyone shouts: “Happy Birthday, Arthur!” Arthur opened one of his presents. It was from Francine. It said on it: "Francine’s Spin the Bottle Game." Arthur was embarrassed.If you like humorous books, you should read this book because of Arthur’s Spin the Bottle game. He played it and it landed on Francine. I can remember a time where I had to choose between which friend to play with at recess just like in this book they had to choose between which party to go to. I think “Arthur’s Birthday” by Marc Brown is exciting because Muffy is having a party on the exact same day as Arthur.I love Marc Brown’s illustrations. He puts his kids’ names on almost every page. I think the middle of the book is awesome. They are on the monkey bars and they get into a fight about whose party to go to. I think the end of the book is really embarrassing and funny. They were playing Spin the Bottle. Arthur spun the bottle and it was pointing at Francine.I think you should read this book, especially if you are having a birthday party and your friend is having one on the same day as you. You should read this book to help you figure out what to do. My classmate, Garrett, liked the part where “They did Arthur’s Birthday party before Muffy’s birthday party so they did not have two at once so people can go to both of them. "I recommend the book “Arthur’s Birthday” to you if you have a party and your friend is having one to on the same day. This gives you an idea of what to do. If you like the game, Spin the Bottle, then you will love “Arthur’s Birthday” by Marc Brown. If you go and buy this book, you will smile while you are reading it. I would rate “Arthur’s Birthday” 5 stars because I like how Marc Brown draws all the settings, like when Arthur gets home and people shout, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Arthur didn't know how to do these things in the beginning of the book but D. W. taught him what to do. This book is very helpful. It taught me what to do if I get hurt. If you don't do these things, the boo-boo will get infected and it could make you sick!I liked this book because it was really fun. D. W. was his baby sister. My baby brother teaches me things sometimes, too. My favorite part was when D. W. got boo-boos on herself so she put band aids all over her body.

Sometimes I watch the cartoons on TV. They are fun too.Other people should read this book. Kids would enjoy it the most.

Then Francine gets glasses too and nobody makes fun of him anymore.My favorite part of the story is when Arthur goes into the girl's bathroom because he can't read the sign.

Then his mom accidentally drops the envelope into the garbage because she is distracted with her phone call.

This book is about Francine and Arthur on Valentine's Day. They like each other. Arthur has a secret admirer that gives him valentines. He isn't sure that it's Francine. At the end of the book, she gives him kisses. That was my favorite part. Francine wanted to kiss Arthur earlier in the book but he ran away.This book reminds me of myself because I am like Arthur. I have a crush on someone but I don't ever tell people. That's because I don't want to be embarrassed. When I grow up, I will get married. We will have two kids. Only older people have girlfriends and boyfriends.I have read other Arthur books before. I read Arthur's Halloween and Arthur's Christmas Tree. I liked the Christmas one the best because that is my favorite time of year.I think it's really neat that Marc Brown wrote the words to the book AND drew the pictures. He is very talented. I would like to be able to do that someday. If I could write children's books, I would write joke books that were funny.I think my cousin would enjoy this book because he likes Arthur too. People in my class would like this book too because it's not too hard for a second grader to read.If you don't like Valentine's Day, you would not like this book.

Do you want to be an athlete or a mathlete? I think the book Athlete vs. Mathlete by WC Mack is outstanding. Mathlete vs. Athlete is about two twins named Russel and Owen. One day the new basketball coach orders Russel to try out for basketball. Everybody in his family is surprised because Russel is a smart kid and Owen is a sports kid. Meanwhile, in Russel’s Master of the Mind group a new person joins in and tries to be the new leader or captain. When the basketball tryouts come Russel makes the team. Eventually he gets really good at it. Owen becomes angry and puts Russel’s somewhat magical shoes in the dumpster. For about two weeks Russel doesn’t talk to his brother or play basketball. Then Russel asks his brother for help making the person that joined the Master of the Mind team to quit because he’s trying to take over the team and get into Harvard for college. And their plan works! Then their Master of the Mind group ties for first place. Russel goes back to basketball with everybody happy. I think the story was interesting because of the plot. I liked the story plot because it went from good to bad to good. The first good part was that Russel made the team. But then Owen got angry and Russel became furious. I started to feel very bad for both twins because their loss. I think that it’s hard to lose too. Then Russel and Owen weren’t mad at each other any more because they started talking to each other again. Sometimes my sister and I get into an argument and then we solve it and we are cheerful again.I would recommend this book because it shows how you can be mad and then resolve the problem. This is a good lesson for everyone!
378
Or will they break it? Come find out with Owen and Russell Evans in Athlete vs. Mathlete, written by W.S. Mack.For a start, Owen Evans is good at basketball while his twin brother Russell would rather read books and do math. Then, Russell proves himself to be good at basketball. Owen as an athlete felt insecure about Russell, and Russell felt threatened as the captain of the Masters of the Mind club by a new kid. As a result, the brothers assist one another to try and solve each other’s problems. In this book, I learned to recognize one’s strengths and weaknesses, and to know when to ask for help. I feel that the author was trying to communicate that we should be open-minded to the fact that a person can be good at more than one thing.As a matter of fact, my favorite part was when Owen was trying to make up for his mistake with Russell by searching for Russell’s shoe in a dumpster. I also found Owen interesting because even though he was mad at Russell, he later tried to make it up to Russell. I found this book to be unique because it had a lot of changing and interesting scenes. Athlete vs. Mathlete was similar to The Eighth Day because, like Owen and Russell, Riley and Jax didn’t get along at first, but had understood each other by the end of the book. Overall, the book reminded me of my athletic friend and my academic friend and how they often fight. To sum up, I would recommend this book because it has plot twists and it is fun to read. I think that 8-12 years old would like this book. Lastly, I think this would interest readers because there are two people with opposite personalities that work together.

Then Dr. Nick and Phillipe use weapons so they can kill them one by one. Godzilla was left alone with no more babies. Godzilla will someday get his revenge!I liked the part when Dr. Nick and Phillipe killed all the babies and when the eggs hatched because they have big teeth and they are slimy. I also like when they followed the fish trail and found the baby Godzilla’s because they look like dinosaurs. I think it will be very scary when it does happen!I recommend this book to 3rd and 4th graders because I think you will enjoy the pictures and the story. Also if you like dragons or dinosaurs you will love this book. It is exciting like the Godzilla movies, so if you have seen one, I am sure that you will love this book!

Do you like kids who fight off evil bunnies from a different galaxy? Then read Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies by Andrea Beaty.To begin with, this story was about twins who are trying to save Camp Whatsittoya by Lake Whatssosmelly from the fluffs (fierce, large, ugly, and ferocious furballs). The twins are named Kevin and Joules. Their parents go to a spam convention so the twins go to Camp Whatsittoya. My favorite part is the first meal. They have tube steak (hot dogs). They saw lots of weird things and met lots of bizarre people. I thought that was hilarious!In addition, I enjoyed this book because I like adventure and humor. In the story the twins have to fight off bunnies a lot of times. I have to fight off my brother, sometimes he looks like a rabbit. I like playing with my family. In the book everything the twins did they did it together. At my camp, I barely saw my brother. Only at meals and very rarely I passed him.In conclusion, this book is perfect for everyone ages eight and older. I also think this is a great book for teachers to read out loud. Well what are you waiting for?
381

They meet some girls named Smellycat and Sparkletooth. Then, evil bunnies crash on Earth and they grow by eating candy with sugar in it. Then the bunnies grow extremely huge by finding so much candy. I remember when I ate so much candy...I felt huge too! Soon the characters learn that the evil Fluffs plan is to take over the world and turn people into zombies by a video. In addition, I like the part when the bunnies are fighting in the spaceship and keep on hitting each other for a long time. This reminds me of when I was fighting with my brother! Also, I like when they defeat the Fluffs and turn the people back to human and make the Fluffs look really funny. They make a secret liquid to shrink them and stop there eyes from swirling.In conclusion, if you like these types of books, you should try to read it yourself! I recommend that you are eight and up to read this book.

Then read The Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies by Andrea Beaty. To begin with, this book starts on a marshmallow planet far away were Fluffs live. They are giant bunnies. Their planet was burning down so they got in a space ship and crashed on Earth! Three fluffs were on the space ship. Then, the characters Luck and his sister found the space ship! They went deep into the forest and saw camp What’s it to You.In addition, soon the Fluffs start to kill the adults at camp What’s It to You! Then the Fluffs go to a space station and make everyone obey them with their swirly mind control eyes! Soon Luck and his sister find the space station and make a plan to stop the Fluffs from eating every ones brains. This is my favorite part of the book because it had the most action. I also liked how the characters in the story made a trap to capture the Fluffs and save everyone because they were the heroes. Finally, I thought this was a silly book for many reasons but especially because the Fluffs were allergic to tomato sauce! That was funny! In conclusion, this book is good for at home or school. It’s also in your local library and is great for people 5 and up.

Hercules gets out and goes to a village. All the people are scared because they have never seen a hamster that big. Now the army is trying to kill Hercules!I like this book because things grow giant and that is really creative. I wonder how things would be if they were giant and this book lets you see that. I also liked it because it was a page-turner. I wanted to know what would happen to the hamster when he ate the bites so I couldn't stop reading. Every page was really exciting! I also like hamsters and Hercules in this book was a really cool hamster. He was so cute! If you like Captain Underpants and page turners Like James and the Giant Peach you will love this book. Also if you like the book Battle Bugs you will like this book because the writers use creative things to make animals exciting. Both books let you see animals get really big!

In the first chapter, the kid bought the comic book so he could read it. And he was recognizing the super villain from the TV show that he watched. This book is about a kid telling his friends about his favorite super villain mutant. And the kid said “he’s the most dangerous, evil, super villain ever.” And the kid was showing everybody the comic book and everybody said, wow, this is so cool! And he came out of the comic book. I think it was extraordinary and awesome because the super villain was the coolest, bravest, and meanest villain ever. He was bad because he wanted to destroy the world so he could keep it by himself. He’s cool because he is so shiny and brave. He was brave because first he wasn’t brave and now he tried and he did it and now…he is so so brave. I would recommend this book to Jesus and everybody. I would recommend this book because it is the coolest Goosebumps and super bad villain ever and you will be really happy to see this book because it is spectacular.

When the engineer got on the train, he gave his bag to the porter. Aunt Eater also gave her bag to the porter. Both bags looked the same. The porter got confused.

We recommend this book to people who want to learn about Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railroad, and slavery.

Their relative, Count Olaf always tries to steal their fortune. They move on from guardian to guardian because Count Olaf tries to wisk them off somewhere far, far away until they come of age and he can steal their fortune. In this book, unforutnately, they go to boarding school. There is a mean girl named Carmelita Spats and she starts a chant that goes, "cake sniffing orphans in the orphan's shack". Count Olaf disguised himself as coach Gengis. The lesson in this story is don't talk to strangers.I liked this book because I like scary mystery books. My favorite part is when they have to do special orphan's running exercises, (SORE). I like that part because they have to drag stuff with them to make it harder. It is really surprising. The author sometimes explains or describes words he uses right after he uses them. He uses interesting vocabulary. This book is part the series "The Series of Unfortunate Events". I recommend these books to third grade and up. There is also a movie to these books. Will Count Olaf get their fortune in the series? Read the series to find out.

In the Austere Academy the Baudelairs got sent to boarding school because they didn't finish their part of the deal with Sir. Principal Nero has mean rules like if you don't attend his concert you give him a bag of candy and watch him eat it. To see what happened to the Baudelairs check out the book.This is a book part of a series by Lemony Snicket. This is like the other books by Lemony Snicket because in all the Lemony Snicket books something bad always happens. It is similar to the other books because Count Olaf is always causing trouble. This book reminds me of my brother when we fight but we always make up.I would recommend you reading it if you like Lemony Snicket books because they get really interesting. You would find it really interesting because it's like a mistery and a little entertaining but with a lot of misery.

There is a boy named Hubie Cool. He is on the Author Selection Committee. The Author Selection Committee is a group of kids that picks out on author to come to their school. Penny made a suggestion that the committee should pick Penny Inkblot even though Hubie didn’t want her. That night Hubie had a dream that the author would be mean. After that he had another dream that she would only tell about her life. What will happen at the end? Read the book to find out.My favorite part is when the committee was thinking of their favorite books. I like how they were talking about their favorite authors and their favorite books. I wish those were real books because they look like interesting books to read. Two of the titles are Do Monsters go to the Dentist and My Life as a Rabbit Vampire. I like how the pictures look like cartoons. They look like they are in pen or pencil because they are in black and white. Also, they have lots of little tiny details. I think Hubie is the same in all of the Black Lagoon books. In this one he is fearful about the author being mean. In all of the other books he is fearful about something.I recommend this book for 5 to 8 year olds. I recommend this book to people who like the Black Lagoon series.

Soon the fire nation captured him and brought him to jail. Later, the old man told the fire nation what Hura did to him. The fire nation thought he was foolish and threw him in jail. Tyro got angry and broke Hura free. The whole village was happy to see him. They got angry at the fire nation and wanted a war. Who will win the war? Read to find out!Avatar the Last Airbender is an outstanding book. One reason why it is outstanding is because it has funny illustrations. If you saw a picture of Aang in a beard you would laugh like a heyna. Another funny picture is when Sokka ripped his pants off. The second reason why this book is outstanding is because of its cool characters. Aang can make an airball out of his hands! How cool is that? Tuf can make a rock sculpture even though she is blind! The final reason why this book is outstanding is because it has ugly creatures in it. A canyon crawler looks like a spider and a alligator combined. Another ugly creature is a capatiller which is a caterpillar and a mud snake combined. These ugly, but cool creatures make the story even more interesting. So you can see that Avatar the Last Airbender is the best book ever because of its funny illustrations, cool characters, and its ugly creatures. I recommend this book to people who like action packed stories. One action is when Aang swings on a vine and kicks a bad guy's head. Another action is when Sokka tries to defeat Prince Zuko defeats Sokka with a fire shot. The last action is when Aang defeats Prince Zuko by an air blast. If you are ready for some action you must read this book!

Babe Ruth did more to save baseball and you can find out how he did it if you finish reading the story.I really liked this story because I love baseball.

Do you love your grandmother more than anything in the whole world!!!. What if your grandmother was unusual what if you found out that your grandmother was not anything like other grandmothers? Would you run away from her or would you still love her? A long time ago in Russia there lived a babushka who lived in the ancient woods, but this babushka was not like the others. She had a secret! A magical creature who lived in the woods. She had big tall pointy ears, big red rosy cheeks, and long pointy fingernails. Have you ever imagined that you came face to face to with a creature like that! Patricia Polacco’s babushka Baba Yaga is a sweet story of love and magic. I like this book because it teaches that dreams can come true. the little boy and his mother in the story have dreams and so does Baba Yaga! Together they help make each other's dreams come true. I also think it's great because it teaches you that you should not judge a book by its cover. Babushka Baba Yaga might look mean but she is actually really nice! The last thing I liked about this book is that I learned a Russia fairy tale. I liked getting to hear another countries fairy tales.I recommend this book to anyone who likes Russian stories if you like Patricia Polacco books, then you should read this book. Especially if you like her book the babushkas doll. Both books are about Russia and are about magical creatures. You should read this book because it is heartwarming and it is one of Patricia Polacco's best books.

Babushka says that is her doll and she used to play with her. Natasha asks to play with her and Babushka says she can play with her after she eats her soup. Babushka goes shopping and tells Natasha she can play with her until she gets back. Read the story to find out what happens when Babushka leaves.I like this book because it was crazy! As soon as babushka leaves, things turn funny. It is interesting when Natasha learns what it’s like to be bossy. Also it’s funny that a doll can talk. The doll is sassy like Natasha. I recommend this book to my friend Anthony because he might wonder if this could actually happen.
