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.

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!
