The World According to Humphrey

This book is about a hamster named Humphrey who is a school pet in a class with many interesting kids that you'll find out about in the book. Humphrey is in paradise til his sweet, loving owner (aka teacher) leaves to travel then disaster hits. A new teacher who hates rodents comes . . . There's no one to take Humphrey home at night and he's very bad but then people start taking him home. No one knows the lock on his cage is broken . . . What will happen?

I recommend this book for any grades 2nd and above. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

The reason I chose Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is because it is sooo magical. Anyway the book is about Harry going back to Hogwarts and finding out that he is a Parseltongue. (That means he can talk to snakes which is a very uncommon gift.) And at the end he ends up fighting the Basilisk.

Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express

The characters are Stink, Sophie, Webster, Judy and Mrs. B. The story takes place at Stinks house and the Fur and Fangs Shop. Mrs. B. from Fur and Fangs saved 101 guinea pigs that were tested on shampoo and perfume and were half starved to death.

My favorite character is Stink because he is funny. I like the entire book. I recommend this book to the boys.

Little Snowflake's Big Adventure

This is a book about a little snowflake who really wanted to be a part of the kids' special snowman.  The kids' names were Anna, Jacob, Greg and Julian.  He went on an adventure.  It was complicated for him to be a part of the special snowman, because he landed on stuff that he was not supposed to land on.  The snowflake landed on a goose and on a rock.  The little snowflake's wish was to be a part of the kids' snowman.  Anna saw the little snowflake on a rock.  So she added the snowflake to the snowman.  He was the twinkle in his eye.  The parts of the snowman are the eyes, the rocks, and the hat - that was Jacob's.  The nose was a carrot.

This book was given to my brother.  We like it a lot.

Cinderella

In the story, Cinderella wants to go to the Ball, but she doesn't have a dress.  She finally got to the Ball and the Prince wants to marry her, but she left at 12 midnight.   He said, "Stop!"  But she didn't stop. 

My favorite part was when she was dancing in the Ball with the Prince.  My favorite character was Cinderella.  She was happy after she married.  Did you know that Cinderella really doesn't have to wear the good dress?

Insectlopedia

My favorite poem is The Black Widow Spider on page 18.  I think this poem is cool because there are black clothes in the web.  The characters are insects.  I recommend this book to people who like bugs or poems.  The pictures are very cool.  They are very colorful and artistic.
