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.

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.

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.

Wayside School is Falling Down

One kid named Ron did not bring his lunch.  Unluckily, school lunch was Ms. Mush's specialty - Mushroom Surprise.  The only person in the school who ate it was Louis, the yard teacher.  Ron was in line, he asked Ms. Mush for the Mushroom Surprise.  Ms. Mush was so happy she started to cry.  When Ron got to his seat everyone crowded around him.  He took one small bite.  One kid asked, "What is the surprise?"  He said, "Bananas and spinach."  Every time, there was a new surprise.  When Ms. Jews even came over it was different.  Read this book to hear all the other funny stories.  I suggest this for kids from 8-11 years old.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a story about Greg, a 6th grader who thinks he is a wimpy kid.  His mom bought him a diary for him to write down his feelings.  He hates the word diary and calls it a journal.  The other characters in the story are his brothers, Roderick and Manny and Rowley, his best friend.  In his diary he writes about himself, his family, friends and other people.  For example, Greg writes about his bad experiences at school like getting shoved, teased, and punished.  But he also writes about what he and his best friend do when they get together.  Stories about how his dad punishes him to teach him to be a better person are also in the diary.

Greg was my favorite character because I could relate to his experiences and how he felt.  I also like Greg because he and Rowley write comic books and I love comic books.  My favorite part of the book was the comic illustrations.

I enjoyed reading the book because it was funny.  I like it so much I asked my mom to buy the second book, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Roderick Rules!

The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader by Ryder Windham

This book was about Anikan's life as a child, teen, and as the infamous Darth Vader. Anikan's life as a child is much longer than it is in the movie.

I like this book because of the good description it has.
- James.

Daisy-Head Mayzie by Dr. Seuss

This is one of my favorite story books. It is about a little girl named Mayzie and a Daisy that sprouts on top of her head and how they try everything to get it off.
Mayzie met a man that made her famous but she was still sad. She thought that no one loved her but she was wrong!
I don't like it when the kids were making fun of Mayzie, and I loved it when the people say they love her.

How to speak Dragonese By Crissa Cowell

How to speak Dragonese is a book about a viking who can't do everything that a normal viking could easily do. His dragon is a munchkin and often has to be reminded not to do bad things such as "yum yum on the bum" (dragon language for bite someone on the bottom) and also must remember not to "eaty da Meowla" (eat the cat) and will also need to remember NOT TO BE KIDNAPPED BY THE ROMANS, this one is hard for many dragons to keep remembering.
Part of the reason I like this book is that the way the dragon acts reminds me of my puppy.
-Caroline

The House of a Million Pets

This book tells us about Ann Hodgman and how she takes care of her pets. The story takes place in her house. Some of her pets were guinea pigs, pygmy mice, birds, prairie dogs, cats and dogs. Ann also lives with her husband David and her children Laura and John. My favorite animal was the cockatiel from Japan. He looked pretty cool with the feathers sticking up on his head.
I really liked the book because it was funny for example, it showed 13 impossible steps for how to clip a rabbit's toenails.
I would recommend this book to anyone who LOVES pets!
