# data[].attributes.body
This book uses the concept that hard work and helping others pays off. Throughout her adventure the girls friends don’t help her with anything and she is left decorating the tree and all the other task by herself. The moral to the story is that though you may do all the work it is best to share with others around you. Great book to get into the Christmas spirit with. I give this book a four out of five as it depicts a main character, and was a great book to read when getting into the spirit of Christmas.

The book John Henry is a mythology book that dives into the culture of African Americans through the lens of John Henry as he hammers away beating the famous steam drill. This book is recommended for cultural references and the impact the railroad had on America and African Americans during the 1870’s. The moral of the story is that “Dying ain’t important. Everybody does that. What matters is How well you do your living.” This book was amazing I totally give this book a five out of five, because it had so many elements of culture, diversity, and it has real world elements.

This book jumps and shimmies through the sixties as the use fictional characters having human qualities. This book also uses a different type of rhyming and repetition of words to catch the attention of the reader.  In my opinion I give this book three out of five stars due to the fact that there really wasn’t any set theme, or character it was just about a lot of dogs dancing and the places they came from such as the dog pound which was pretty funny.

“Tubby Turtle” is a old classic where the animals speak and are given human qualities.  The story is about a turtle who is always late for school because he is so slow.  He writes a poem stating he wishes he could do something well.  He learns throughout the book, and when he his friend begins to drown, that each of us have a purpose and can do something well.  It is good book for helping to teach a lesson, instruct young children about their worth, and recognizing human emotion. I give this book a three out of five stars due to it lacking some in appeal.

The book “Hansel and Gretel” is a terrific book, I really enjoyed re-reading this book and reflecting back on when I was a kid. Throughout this book Hansel and Gretel used their quick wits to help them out of the three situations they encounter. Also throughout this book all the characters somewhat grow and adapt to their environment, especially their father. Throughout the story I also felt that the author wanted to tell me that whenever you are in a pickle, don’t give up because it is only going to get better from here on out. I give this book a five out of five, because it is a well written book, that shows the strengths and weaknesses of each character, such as the father giving in to his wife wish to leave the kids in the woods. I would definitey recommend this book for all ages.

This story is a great animal fantasy story because it gives human characteristics to a cat with the ability to speak. Also this book is recommended for students who are trying to learn their alphabets. The criteria included in this book is the cat grew throughout the book, he was all about gifts but then he had a change of heart when he got lost. Another factor that I saw was important was that the kitten was able to help a old lady along the way.

The book “The Battle of the Olympians and the Titans” has many elements of high fantasy such as gods, and giants and their conflict with each other. Now throughout reading the story I discovered that the plot has a climax and a resolution. The book has so many different critical factors to it. Zeus and his brothers defeat a giant, by adapting and outsmarting the giants as well as his father. The second critical factors I saw was that the book displayed many fantasy elements such as lighting bolts, a helmet that makes you invisible, and so much more. I give this book a 4 out of 5 because it was filled with names and I am not so interested in the idea of gods.

The book “Wolf’s Coming” puts a twist to the idea portrayed in our head about wolfs being bad, instead all it is, is a surprise birthday party. Now the critical factors contained in this story involves no true character, but is set in a village. The characters throughout the story seem to have showed fear of there being a wolf in their presence, but he is just about to surprise them. I would give this book a five out of five because the author does a great job portraying every minor character such as the racoon, and the bunny to be scared and I totally fell for it myself.

The book “Michael” is a great contemporary fictional story about a kid who causes a lot of trouble in school and around him, but is a genius who fly’s a rocket in space.  Now the prominent theme of this story is, that though you may seem like a trouble maker or an odd ball, you still have something to offer in life big or small. Throughout this story everybody thought Michael was not going to go far, as they depicted him as an outcast, and a grungy stinky kid, but he turned out to be an astronomical success as an astronaut. I would rate this book to be two thumbs up, with a five star rating. It was very fun to read and made you ponder about who Michael is and what he does.

The book “Look and Learn” is a reliable source for educational training for preschool children.  The book is colorful and interactive which is appealing to young children.  This book has the children gather information regarding assorted items, basic counting principles, and action verbs.  “Look and Learn” also requires the reader to identify the sequence of ideas and develop a general form of the information.  I believe that the writing and language of the book is rich, but not is so complicated that the young read could not understand the basic concepts.  I would give this book a 4 out of 5 for its illustrations, interaction and basic learning principles.

This book is rich in information of the different clouds and even uses a lot of Latin included in the text, which can make it hard for students to understand and comprehend the readers thoughts. All in all, this book is still a delightful book that is about discovery and not giving up on your dreams even though you may get burned a few times. I would definitey give this book a three out of five stars due to the fact that it was hard to understand, maybe be useful in eight grade sciences.

One day as an older man the boy cut down the tree and built a boat and when the boy had nothing more to give and the tree was just a stump, the boy, now an old man, came to sit on the stump.  The tree and the boy were happy again.  This is a great story for identifying conflict and understanding the characters and how they think and feel.  I would definitely give “The Giving Tree” a five out of five stars.

The book, "Uni the Unicorn", is about the only unicorn that believes that girls are real. This book definitely uses a plot twist in that instead of girls believing that unicorns are real, this book uses a unicorn that believes girls are real. Even though his friends laugh at him, he still believes and imagines what a little girl would be like. What he doesn't realize is that somewhere, not so far away, is a little girl who believes that unicorns are real as well. This book not only uses the plot twist, but also understands the setting, which takes the real world and adds supernatural elements and imagined worlds. I think that this book would be appealing to young girls and give this a four out of five stars for its imagination and fantasy elements.
