This book is a fantasy book and I will be writing a review.
For most of this book the setting is in a place called Narnia which is a mythical land filled with creatures that can talk, and not just ordinary creatures... It's things like half donkey half man. There is even a witch who is completely white and she rules this whole mystical world and can freeze you still with just a point of her wand. The children find this place by this wardrobe that is in the spare bedroom. They climb into this closet like things and then magically end up in this frozen land on the other side. At one point the children have grown up in this land and have taken over things as if it were their own magical land. However, when they return back to the real world they are still children.

This book is realistic fiction and I will be writing a letter to a friend.
Dear Bailey, I was just wanting to tell you about this book that I just read. It is called Diary of a Wimpy kid, and I think you will really like it. It takes place at a middle school where the boy Gregg is barely starting out, and it seems to clearly tell the story of how things can really happen in school. Things like being bullied, to your home life, and just so on. It really is a great little entertaining book and I think you will love it! You should really give it a read! It is laid out as if it were a real diary. The font looks handwritten and there even happens to be doodles in the book too

This book is historical fiction and I will be responding by a review. This book is one of the most heartfelt things that I have read in a while. This young soldier is fifteen years old and being the youngest was hard. Along his time being enlisted he befriends a young girl who helps him out with bug bites and in return he helps them out by sharing his rations. This little girl cannot speak english unfortunately, but they share communication through acts of kindness. The connection is lost when they have to separate, but later on down the line they end up getting the chance to see each other again and it was like they were never away from one another. This beautiful heartfelt story is based on a true story.

The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey

This is a graphic novel and I will be writing a review for it. From as far back as I can remember I have always seen boys that I have gone to school with go crazy over the captain underpants series. Everyone always raced to get these books, and with that being the case they were always gone from the library. For myself I was more of the Junie B. Jones type of person, but there were a couple times where I couldn't help but reach for this book myself. I always wanted to see what the hype was about and I never clearly saw it back then. Reading it now as a young adult I can clearly see that the boys loved this goofy character because it was either who they wanted to be or it was entertaining for them. I think it is such a goofy little book/series and if I got the chance I think I would reach for it again!

This is a bluebonnet award winning book and I will be writing about a defining quote.
"I'm so proud of you all." This might  seem like such a simple praise, but to some this praise is everything. There are so many times when teachers tell their students that they're doing a good job and yes it makes you feel good about what you're doing, but whenever anyone has told me that they were proud of me... That just meant so much more. It truly shows that you've paid attention and saw me from where I started and saw me where I ended. This praise has always made me feel so good, and I know other's have the same feeling about it too. Teachers that really pay attention to their students truly don't get enough credit in this world.

Ranger in Time Rescue on the Oregon Trial by Kate Messner

This book is a historical fiction book and I will be writing a review. Ranger has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog, but can’t officially pass the test because he’s always getting distracted by squirrels during exercises. One day, he finds a mysterious first aid kit in the garden and is transported to the year 1850, where he meets a young boy named Sam Abbott. Sam’s family is migrating west on the Oregon Trail, and soon after Ranger arrives he helps the boy save his little sister. Ranger thinks his job is done, but the Oregon Trail can be dangerous, and the Abbott's need Ranger’s help more than they realize! This book would be perfect for the ages of 6-10 because it is pretty easy to understand and it would keep their attention!

Dear Friend,
I just wanted to tell you I found the best book of encouragement for kids! So get this, there is this bug who goes around trying to help his friends out, but he can't actually help them out the way he wishes he could. He then gives words of encouragement, things like "You can do it!", "Great team!", "World's Speediest Bees!" and all of these small acts of kindness really seem to help the different bugs out and it encourages them to keep going and to work hard. After having heard the words of encouragement they are able to get their jobs done and they give credit to Bug 'Em since he is the one who helped them finish off strong. This would be a great book to read to your class, so that they kids could see how words of encouragement can in fact make a difference!

This is a caldecott award winning book and I will be writing a review on it.  Before reading this book I thought it was going to be something way different than it turned out to be. I had thought there was going to be this long detailed story about a special window, but in reality it is just a window they like to look through and watch the world as it goes by. In a way I guess it is a special window, because the little boy and his grandparents bond over this window. They seem to do everything together and that seems to add a lot of character to what's going on.

Bigfoot Cinderella by Tony Johnston and James Warhola

This book is a traditional book and I will be writing a recommendation. This book is not like any ordinary fairy tale, and that is why I think it would be the perfect book for a young boy. Instead of having big ballroom dresses, and glass slippers this story is full of the complete opposite. This story is full of hair bear-like creatures, like bigfoot, and fishing. There isn't a ball like the original story, in this version it is the girls trying to roll the prince off of the stump and into the water and whoever could do that successfully would be the wife. Unfortunately, no one could do that besides Rrrrrella and she wasn't even supposed to be there. Once she rolled him off of the log and into the water she had to hurry and run away because she needed to make it back home before the time ran out and while she was in a hurry she left her clog behind. The prince collected the clog and checked every foot until he found the perfect fit which in fact happened to be Rrrrrella.

This book is a caldecott award winner and I will be writing a review. This book is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. It is short for what it is, yet it beholds all the information that is needed to understand how Harriet Tubman escaped the south and snuck her way across the lands mile by mile until she landed in the free soil of Philadelphia. Harriet makes this journey with God by her side encouraging her to continue on her path. When she arrives to the church and gets to see the underground railroad she then takes some time to help welcome and nourish more slaves who have escaped and with God on her shoulder then returns back to where she started to help her love ones escape and be free. After having escaped herself, and having helped her loved ones she continues to return to help many more escape the horrible thing of slave trading.

Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña

This book is a Pura-Belpre Award Winner and I will be writing about a defining quote. In this book a little boy is being dragged around with his grandmother and complaining about why he has to do all these things and go to places. Every time he asks why they have to do something or why they have to go somewhere she gives him a nice answer and they continue on. In the end of this book he asks why it is always dirty in that part of town and the grandmother replies this to him while pointing to the sky and smiling, “Sometimes when you’re surrounded by dirt, CJ, you’re a better witness for what’s beautiful.” This quote stood out to me, because it is so true. For example, in my every day life here at home I no longer pay attention to what is around me, nor do I appreciate it the way I should, but when I went to New Orleans last summer every single thing stood out to me from the magnolia trees to the architecture. It was because I didn’t get to see those things everyday, so I appreciated the beauty of them. To this day and want to go back so badly just to experience it all over again.

This book is a post modern picture book and I will be writing about a defining quote. In this book the story is told by different voices and in the second voice this is said, “… you’ve got to have a little bit of hope, haven’t you?” Now, to some people this might not mean much, but to me this quote means a lot. This quote means that although you might be going through a lot, or maybe you’re not really going through anything, but hope plays a big part in our lives. Without hope what is there to look forward to? Hope is something I have in my life, and something I know my friends and family have in theirs. We all wish and hope for the better, and hope everything in our life turns out perfect or better than we expect.

This book is a traditional tale and I will be writing a review.
This tale is not told like all the other three pig stories at all. This one stands out the most to me since it is so different. It goes from one pig to another, but instead of it flowing naturally there are little interruptions between each pig and it seems as if they're in "another world." It goes from the wolf blowing the house in and it then says that he had eaten the pig, but in reality the pig was not actually eaten... At that point the pigs were blown out of the story and wonder around in an empty space. The pigs run around and explore this new world they have discovered and found a sing song place, and then they found a dragon place. After this they find their way back into their own story

This is a biography and I will be making writing a blog response.
This book was written by a lady named Pat Mora. Pat told Tomas Rivera's story about how he went to Iowa to work since his family were farm workers. On this trip to Iowa Tomas would get his grandfather to tell stores and he had already known all of them by heart. Tomas had gone downtown one day and saw this big library, and he was so fascinated by this building that he had to go inside. After he had gone in he had gotten a glimpse of all of the books and was in awe. The library lady had let Tomas check out two books in her name, and in exchange he would run home share the stories, teach the library lady Spanish, read to her, or just read to himself. On the last day of Tomas being in Iowa he had gone back to the library with his grandfather, and had taken her some sweet bread that his grandmother had made. The library lady was super thankful, gave Tomas a big hug, and sent him home with a brand new book of his own.

Here is a link for a YouTube read aloud of this book:

Dear Dr. Soloman, I have pretty recently gotten the chance to read a book by the name of 'Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery,' and I think you might enjoy it! This book is about a bunny that is found at the movie theater while two boys are watching Dracula. They argue over what to name the bunny until the parents settle the dispute with the name Bunnicula. The vegetables in the house start to come up white and so with a lot of research the cat in the house swears that the bunny in fact is a vampire. The cat tries to get rid of this animal, but the dog saves the bunny and in the end the dog and the bunny are best friends while the cat is left skeptical and seeing a cat psychiatrist.

What If You Had Animal Teeth!? by Sandra Markle

This is an informational book, and I will be writing a review for it. This book going through and lists eleven different animals such as, camels, sharks, hippos, etc. It lists the animal, what kind of teeth the animal had, and then it lists a fact following a funny caption on the next page explaining what the teeth could be used for if it were growing on us humans. At the end of the book it gives a brief description of how we should take care of our teeth by saying we should brush them daily and at night. It then follows that with saying that we should make sure we floss our teeth. This is a really great book for children to read not only because it lists fact for you about animals, but also because it tells you how you should take care of your teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an Informational book, and I will be writing a recommendation for it. As for any book that is written in these kind of senses, this book right here is one of the best. It is concise and it is informational. This would be a great book for children who can either read on their own, or it can be read to babies as they are growing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn their ABC's because it is entertaining and will keep the child entertained. While reading throughout this book you'll notice that each Page will say "act" meaning that in a sense this book contains the elements of a theatrical play. This book contains a small saying for each of the letters.

This is a Newberry award winning book, and I will be reviewing this novel.  In the beginning of this book I found myself getting lost, because I was not used to the format nor was I a fan of wizardry and magic. This book has brought me out of my comfort zone and has opened new doors for me in this type of genre. I am glad that I  have gotten the chance to read this book, because I fell in love with it. This book covers so many aspects, such as birth, growing up, having friends, having family, there being evilness, and on top of all of that there was an incredible amount of happiness. This would be a great book for literally anyone who can read at this type of level whether it be an adult, or a child.
