There is a seal who really wants to eat his sisters birthday cupcakes, but he tries to resist until he can't any longer. After he eats them all, he goes to the cabinet and makes even more for his sister because he felt bad. Theme is learning your mistakes and making them better in the end. ]]> 2019-01-16 16:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321327878 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321338262 This is a cute book about how everyone is scared of everyone and runs away from one thing when there is many things to be running away from. It started with being scared by an elephant but in the end the animal that scared them the most was the little mouse. Theme is you shouldn't judge anyone by what they look like. The littlest ones can be the mightiest. ]]> 2019-01-16 17:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321338262 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321513886 This fun but sad book showed a different side of how funerals usually are. This little girl and her cousin Ray had no idea what it really meant to lose someone so they didn't take it as personal, and instead made it a fun experience. The theme I think is to show that funerals should be a celebration of life and not a grievance of someone that has past away. ]]> 2019-01-17 01:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321513886 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321514565 This book is fun yet very educational. A dog named Austin travels around the United States until he finds his forever home. In each state he learns a bunch of different facts that determines if it's his perfect home. The theme is to never give up in finding exactly what you are looking for.]]> 2019-01-17 01:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321514565 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321515068 This funny book tries to get the reader to be serious at first by giving examples of what not to do. The characters in the book go against the rules and are completely unserious. In the end the narrator gives up on trying to control the characters and just lets them do whatever they want. It basically becomes the not so serious book. The theme is to have fun but also know when you really should be serious. ]]> 2019-01-17 01:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/321515068 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/328072172 This book is short but sweet. I would love to read it to my way younger kiddos who are just finding out what they like/dislike and who they have that in common with. It shows kids that you're going to find someone who enjoys what you enjoy and has the same imagination as you. The theme is that you're going to find a friend through what you enjoy and to always have an open imagination. ]]> 2019-02-06 00:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/328072172 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/334021573 This book is so powerful. The messages it sends out is something I will remember for forever. It talks about the sexuality, race, and politics. It covers important topics that I think is better for kids to know about sooner rather than later. The theme of this book is that no matter what other people feel, you need to stick to your own opinion no matter what. ]]> 2019-02-22 05:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/334021573 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/337278198 This book was a very imaginative and magical book. It made the reader imagine things they normally wouldn't. It allows the reader to go to a place that isn't normal and to experience something like no other. I loved how freely the mind would wander while reading this because it was like something i've never read before. I think the theme of this book is to use your imagination to the best of your ability so you are able to grow from it and also take a break from the real world. You get to experience things that no one else has. ]]> 2019-03-03 21:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/337278198 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339593231 This poetry novel was mind opening. I thought it went over topics that are super important for everyone to learn about (civil rights, divorce, death). Jacqueline wrote about her whole life and everything she went through being a black women. I think the theme of this book was to show that no matter what you need to be strong and keep on going. Never give up. ]]> 2019-03-09 19:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339593231 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613016 In this cute spooky book, the main girl becomes a witch who fights off the ghosts in her house. She ends up using them to make her house better by using them at curtains, blankets, and even a bed for her dog. I think the theme would be that you are stronger than your fears and when you beat them you get to control them. ]]> 2019-03-09 23:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613016 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613402 I absolutely loved this book. It had just the right amount of horror and the illustrations made it even scarier. This book is unique because throughout the whole book it is just short stories about different horror tales instead of just being a book about one story. Each story is unique and different. I really don't think this short storied horror book has a main theme other than telling old wise tales about scary stuff. ]]> 2019-03-09 23:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613402 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613755 This horror children's book is about a kid who believed there were monsters in his closet and was scared. He finally allowed the monster to come out and he ended up tucking the monster into his own bed because he realized the monster wasn't that scary in the end. The theme was that it's okay to be afraid at first but then once you conquer your fears it ends up being okay in the end and the thing that was scary to you at first wasn't really that scary.]]> 2019-03-09 23:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339613755 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339614738 This book was spooky at first because the main boy had aliens come into his room every night and he was very scared of this. Later did he find out he wanted to be an astronaut and he learned that in outer space it is really dark so you need to become friends with the aliens and to also like the dark. He learned that he for sure wanted to be an astronaut so he accepted that the dark was okay. The theme of this book was that you need to get over your fears in order to achieve what you want in the end even if it might be scary at first. ]]> 2019-03-10 00:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339614738 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339614885 In this book a little boy believes that there is a black hole that forms when the lights go off and monsters come out of it. He kept telling his parents and obviously they didn't believe him so he ended up sleeping in their bedroom because he was too scared. They ended up following him even into his parents bedroom and that's where the book ends. You get nothing more except that they followed him. This book was the spookiest of them all because it just left you with nothing and I wanted to know what ended up happening. ]]> 2019-03-10 00:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/339614885 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348611322 This book is a spinoff of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and is written in a graphic novel form which I really enjoyed. I love how the story incorporated other princess stories like 'Sleeping Beauty' because the prince (Goldilocks) finds a women sleeping and has to kiss her in order to wake up. I think this is a fun book where kids can have a bunch of different imaginations because there are so many different stories incorporated into it.]]> 2019-04-04 16:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348611322 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348612988 This book is a spinoff of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and has the dinosaurs the ones who plan out to catch Goldilocks. They basically trap her into their home and try to eat her but she ends up getting away by jumping through the window. I thought this book was funny and unique and allows children to see different versions of the original book. ]]> 2019-04-04 16:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348612988 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348614001 This book is a spinoff of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and is quite unique. It is about a bear who finds himself in the city and ends up in an apartment. He has no idea where he is and how he got there. He later lays down in one of the beds after trying out all of them and wakes up to a family yelling at him. It turns out, the mother of the family is actually Goldilocks who knew him when she was a little girl and had ended up into the bears house. I think this book was really funny and cute and is much different than the typical Goldilocks book. ]]> 2019-04-04 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348614001 egoode1 https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348615865 This book is about a little girl who finds herself in the home by three bears. They are not home so she does not know this yet but finds out that everything is big, medium, and just the right size for her. She tries out everything in the house to make sure everything is right just for her. She ended up taking a nap in one of the beds when the bears came home and when she immediately saw them she jumped up and ran. The bears never heard from her again and was no longer seen. I love this book because I always thought it was so unique how it's kind of reversed and she is the one who went into a bears house when usually bears go into humans houses']]> 2019-04-04 16:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/egoode1/jv7u3377j7gn/wish/348615865
