401 | Natasha was one very naughty girl. Natasha wants her Babushka to play with her, but Natasha’s Babushka has work to do first. Natasha saw her Babushka’s doll, and asked to play with it. Suddenly, Babushka’s doll comes to life. My favorite part is when Natasha saw her Babushka’s doll. I liked that part because the doll came to life and scared Natasha but then asks to play. My favorite character was the Babushka. I like her because she keeps on working no matter what. The illustrations were based off of a farm home in Russia. I liked reading Babushkas’ Doll.I recommend this book to people who may be a little naughty, or have a doll, or a grandma. Children 6-10 years old should read Babushka’s Doll. I recommend this book because Patricia put effort in it and put a lot of emotion into the story. Babushka’s Doll teaches a lesson - don’t always be a naughty child or else you will never get what you want. I think people would like reading Babushka’s Doll. |
402 | Baby is a book about a boy named Larkin and a baby named Sophie. Sophie was left on the Larkin family driveway. There was a note with Sophie saying: ?This is Sophie. She is almost a year old and she is good. I will be back in a year to get her. Love, Sophie?s mother.? Will Sophie?s mother come back in a year? Read the book to find out!My favorite part was when Sophie started talking in real sentences. I like this part because then Larkin?s family could understand what Sophie wanted and they could get what she wanted.I like this book because the author wrote it from Larkin?s point of view. I could really understand how Larkin felt in the book. Larkin liked Sophie, she was just like a little sister to him.My favorite character is Sophie. I think that is really funny! He dreamed that Sophie fell into the ocean, but she didn?t.I recommend this book to 2nd and 3rd graders. I think they will really like it because it is funny and easy to read. |
403 | This book is about alligators growing up. It shows the babies hatching from eggs. Their teeth are sharp and dangerous. When they loose teeth they can grow new teeth. They can grow thousands of teeth in their lifetimes.Alligators can stay under water a long time. Alligators lived with dinosaurs.I liked this book because I always like to read about animals. I like dinosaurs and I liked the part that said alligators lived with dinosaurs.Kids that like to learn about animals will like to read Alligator Babies. |
404 | All the animals were asleep at the zoo. The Baby BeeBee Bird starts singing and he keeps all the animals awake. The Baby BeeBee Bird just keeps singing and singing. When the animals wake up they decide to keep the Baby BeeBee Bird awake. Finally everyone can sleep at night. I like how the animals all say BEEBEEBOBBIBOBBI over and over. This is a fun book to read out loud. I recommend this book to all kids. Everyone in my class likes to read this book. |
405 | Do you know a really smart baby? His name is Baby Brains. And believe it or not the day after he came home from the hospital he was already reading the morning paper. By afternoon he was fixing the car. His first words were “I would like to go to school tomorrow.” So that’s where he went. And guess what? He answered all the questions and got them right. On his way home he said “I would like to go to college and study medicine.” So he went. One day some space people called and asked if he wanted to help them with a mission. Read this book to find out if he does it.My favorite part was when Mrs. Brains put head phones on her stomach in different languages so her baby would know them. I found Mrs. Brains very interesting because before she had her baby she was doing some pretty weird stuff such as putting headphones on her stomach and turning up the volume really loud when the news came on. I think Baby Brains changed in a way because he was a really smart baby and most babies that I know aren’t smart. To find out how Baby Brains changed read this book.I would recommend you this book because it really is a very funny book and Baby Brains is so smart. So if you are in your local library check out this book. |
406 | Baby Monkey is a story about a little monkey who solves cases of robberies. He solves many, many cases. To solve a case, Baby Monkey always changes what he eats and he always solves the case. If you want to know how he solves this case, you will have to read the book. I liked the story of Baby Monkey because Baby Monkey always has a problem with his pants. He can never put them on fast. I liked all the characters. They are friendly. I have a connection with this book and life. Baby Monkey loves his mom and babies in real life and also loves his mother.Other kids should read this book because it’s fun. Baby Monkey is very silly. The book is mysterious because when a new case starts, the pictures in Baby Monkey’s office change to a different drawing. The drawings give an idea about the mystery and the new case. |

408 | Kristy’s Great Idea by, Ann M. Martin is a really great book it includes some secrets and a couple of mysteries. There are four girls that start a Baby Sitters Club and are very successful with in just a couple of days. One client thinks it’s a dog sitting company and Kristy does not know, so she can’t say no when she goes over to the house. Another client’s kids think there’s a witch living next door and put a spell on their cat and maybe they convince Mary Anne that there really is a witch living next door. Here’s a hint one of the mysteries is that Stacey keeps running away when they bring out candy they all think something is wrong with her. What do you think? Will Stacey tell the girls what is wrong with her health?In my opinion, the book Kristy’s Great Idea, is really amazing book. To start with, as I was reading this book it kind of made me wonder is this how I’m going to end up in middle school because Kristy is in middle school and her brother is about 8 years old and that’s how old my brother will be when I go to middle school. Also, the story makes me think of my brother because Kristy has a lot of annoying brothers Oh boy what would it feel like to have that many brothers. Finally I liked the character Kristy because I can really relate to her. In fact I baby sat my brother once. As you can see I really like this book I would recommend this to ages 8 to 18 oh and read it if you’ve got one, two or three brothers you should also read this book.Kristy’s Great Idea is a good book it’s about friendship, mysteries and secret’s. If I had five thumbs I would put them all up that’s how good this book is, I would give this book five thumbs up because it really tells a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot of information about babysitting, and what to do and what not to do. I would suggest this book to ages 8-18, because for 8-11 it’s just fun to read but from ages 12-18 they should read this book because that’s about the age you start babysitting. I think everybody that can read it should read it. |
409 | A group of girls named Maryanne, Stacey, Kristy and Claudia are all in a club called the baby-sitter’s club. The babysitter’s club got together because they liked to babysit, and anyone who needs a babysitter can call them. In this book, they all wanted to take this one job because a family in the neighborhood had a new baby. Kristy took the job and did not ask anybody first. The other members got mad at Kristy and then they started getting mad at everybody and got all in a big fight. If you want to find out what happens read the book. I like this book because I liked the characters in the book because one of the characters names was Claudia and she kept candy all over her room and no one knew about it. I liked that because when she feels that she wants to eat candy she just finds some in her room. I also like the illustrations because there were a lot of details. But, I did not like how the illustrations were black and white because I would like to see all the details in color. I also liked the book because it’s sometimes funny and sometimes not. I recommend this book to kids that like friendship drama and very exciting books. I think kids would like to read about the characters because they are all very unique and you always find one character that is kind of like you! |
410 | The phone rang. Kristy picked it up. And it was Mrs. Newton. She needed a sister. She also had a baby but all the girls wanted to baby sit the baby. So then they got in a big fight and called each other names. But a while later Mary Anne gave Sorry notes. They were still fighting a long time. Then, they got back together and became friends again.My connection to this book is that my friends and I get into tiny fights sometimes but then we get back together and we start to be nice to each other. Sometimes, it is hard and we say we are sorry and forgive each other. Eventually, we get back to being friends and we have fun! My favorite part of the book is when the girls say they are sorry and forgive each other. It shows that you can be mean to a friend but then you realize it and make it right.I recommend this book to people who love to read the Baby Sitters Club books. To babysit and having a hard time getting along with friends is just part of life. |
411 | A baby-sitter named Amanda comes to baby-sit three young kids. Their names are Clarabelle, Zekey and Baby Lurleen. They are trying to drive Amanda the baby-sitter crazy because they don't like having a baby-sitter. Amanda keeps on yawning because she wants to ignore the kids. They are going to think of dangerous Plan Number Two. Clarabelle thinks of a dangerous plan. They bring animals from different countries to drive Amanda crazy. For example, they bring penguins and shove them in the freezer. Would the plan work this time or will she yawn again? We both love this book because it is a comedy book and we love comedy books. We both like when Clarabelle, Zekey and Baby Lurleen were thinking about Plan Number Two because it describes their whole plan. We like Amanda because its funny when she keeps on yawning and the three of them want her to leave. My (Lara's) favorite illustration was when the parents are dashing to leave because their children are acting crazy and they want to leave their children. My (Priyanka's) favorite illustration was when the Eggmont children (Clarabelle, Zekey and Baby Lurleen) were getting mad at Amanda and they are showing their expressions. We like how the author puts the words creatively on each page. For example, when Zekey is playing the trumpet and the words are popping out of the instrument like crazy music. We recommend this book to whoever likes crazy comedy on each and every page. We also recommend this book to people who want to be a baby-sitter or have a baby-sitter. We definitely recommend this book to people who like to think of plans to get what they want. |
412 | This story is about two friends that help each other to be brave. They are a baby unicorn and a baby dragon. Their names are Star and Moon. Moon doesn't have any wings. To get wings he has to be brave. To be brave, he has to get Star's horn and a dragon's tooth from Wicked Elf. Moon was brave and got the tooth and horn from Wicked Elf. Because of this, the dragon grew wings and was able to fly. That is the story about the two friends that learned a lesson about friendship and bravery.My favorite part of the story is when Star turns back into a unicorn. My favorite character is Star because she is nice and a good character. My least favorite character is Elf because he is mean and a bad character. This story relates to my life because I have a mom and dad who are brave. I also like the pictures in this book because they help to tell the story.I think others should read this story because it teaches how to be brave and that even though you cry, it doesn't mean you aren't brave. |
413 | In this story story we learn that whales are huge animals that live in the ocean. They are mammals, that have blowholes to help them breathe. Whales can make different sounds. To find out more interesting details read this book.I like this book because of the cute baby whales. I learned that Humpback whales go different places. I like the colors they used in the illustrations.I recommend this book for people who would like to learn about whales. This book would also be a nice story to read for people who like to read non-fiction stories. |
414 | A mother whale just had a baby whale. And the father cannot stay with the mother when she has a baby. They cannot be together. The father whale went to Alaska by himself because his wife is going to have a baby. The book, Baby Whale?s Journey, is narrative nonfiction about a baby whale who is having her first journey and is learning the moves of the ocean, like how to get to know the ocean. It?s her first time being in the ocean. She learns how to swim in the ocean and learns there is danger. Her mother taught her that they always have to swim with the group.I read this book in a regular way because it is a regular story and it tells you some things that whales do. I read the first page to the last page because you can?t skip around. It?s not a chapter book or a nonfiction where you can read anywhere. You can?t start right in the middle because you won?t know what they did in the beginning.The pictures helped me to understand it a lot.Anyone who is interested in whales should read this book because it is a smooth and calm book. It makes me think about whales. It makes me want to be a whale. It is a very great book to read. There are two surprises, but you just have to read this book to know the surprises. |
415 | The book is about a girl named Stacey who babysits with her friends. Stacey has diabetes. But Stacey feel good and there are really good people in the story because they all tell the truth.There are reasons why I really like this book. It's funny when Kristy was screaming and laughing. There are sad parts too, then it turns happy again. Jamie always tells the truth. Jamie was saying he had an accident the babysitter said what accident then he showed the babysitter. It was a burn mark from a cigarette.I would recommend this book to people who want to become a babysitter someday. People who like hard chapter book and laughter it also has details. I think 8 and up should read this book because there are some hard words. |
416 | I am just making a pit stop to tell you that in the book Babymouse Burns Rubber, Babymouse wants to enter a race. But she cannot build her car for the race. Will she win? Will she not win? Read my review to get a hint about the book. In the book Babymouse Burns Rubber, Babymouse is riding her bike and she crashes.The next day at school she saw her friend Wilson. She asked him to fix her bike. After school, she brought over her bike. Wilson fixed it but then she saw something in the corner. He said, “that is my car.” He rips of the curtain. She asks him what it is for. He said, “for the soap box derby race.” Baby mouse wants to enter. You will have to read the book to find out what happens!Babymouse Burns Rubber is a good book to read. In the book, Babymouse changes. In the beginning, one of the rules is that you have to build your own car. She makes Wilson make her car but at the end, Babymouse returns the favor . I think the lesson in the book is a friend always has your back but do not take it for granted. I think this book reminds me of the Pinewood Derby Race that is coming up.I recommend this book to people who make their friends do everything for them because in the book, Babymouse makes Wilson make her car. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars. So if you want a good book to read, get Babymouse Burns Rubber. |
417 | A girl named Babymouse was dreaming that she was a Olympian diver doing a dive called the reverse messy whisker in an Olympic pool. But when she opened her eyes she was in a kiddy pool with her little brother Squeak. Then her mother told her to sign up for an after-school activity. At school, she found sport sign-up sheets. She signed up for the Shrimps swim team. Babymouse thought it was going to be easy but it was not. They lost every meet. I think this book is funny because the narrator says funny things. For example, after Babymouse's dream he said " now that is an Olympic pool." Another reason why I think it is funny is that her dreams are about her looks or what is happening in the book. Like in her Olympic dream they made up a dive called the reverse messy whisker. That is why I think the book is funny. My favorite part was when she was dreaming then opened her eyes.I recommend this book to people who like to swim and to people who sometimes forget things because Babymouse totally forgot about her swim meet. |
418 | Find out about Claudia Kishi, an interesting person who is in the Baby Sitters Club, but when she hears about the phantom her life changes forever. The phantom begins steeling jewelry from people's houses. Mary-Anne's father won't let Mary-Anne baby sit till the phantom is caught! Janine is Claudia's big, annoying sister, they find friendship at the same time. The story shows the friendship between Claudia and Janine. Will the phantom ever be caught and will Claudia and Janine ever be friends?I enjoyed reading this book because was exciting and interesting. The characters were very different, but fit together nicely in the baby sitters club. My favorite part was when Alan Gray (Kristy's enemy) spies on Kristy, but when Kristy finds out it was not a happy sight!Claudia was an interesting person. Her I.Q was above average, but her spelling was horrible. She was a talented artist and she hides candy in her room. This book was really hilarious.I recommend this book to people who like exciting mysteries. You should read this book because it is exciting. This book was really funny. You will never be able to put the book down! I think people of all ages would enjoy reading this book. |
419 | Imagined if one day you moved and you made new friends and your new friends ask you if you want to be in the baby sitters club, what would you say? Stacey says, yes, and one day … is going to tell her friends the truth about her real self. I liked this very much because it is fun to read the truth about someone who you did not know about before. At the end of the book you get interested in reading about the person and you are wondering what will happen next. My favorite part is when she tells the truth about herself. Why can’t she have candy? Read this book and find out? I love this book because she is funny and she never gave up with her treatments .I recommend this book kids 8 - 10. There are some confusing words and parts that a younger person might not understand. |
420 | I recommend the book “Back-To-School Fright From the Black Lagoon.” This book is about a boy named Hubie and he is the main character. He is about our age. The story mostly takes place in a mall because he has to buy clothes. The story is about going back to the black lagoon.The black lagoon is not a lagoon. It's a school. One my favorite characters is Hubie because he imagines things. Another reason I like this book is because of the pictures. They’re like comics. I also like that he goes to the store and has a horrible time buying clothes, shoes, and supplies because it's dramatic. It's funny because he buys new underwear and in the picture he's wearing sunglasses because his underwear are glow-in-the-dark. I also like when his mom says, “I have a good taste in clothes.” He imagines that his mom is a monster and she's eating the clothes. He says, “You have a bad taste in clothes” to his mom. The dog says “I agree.” I would give this book 4 stars! I recommend this book to people who like funny books. I hope you enjoy this book. |
421 | Have you ever wanted something cool for school? Well this book has a character that does just that. It is a story about a boy named Hubie and it is back to school. He goes shopping with his mom and he sees these shoes and there are super special shoes but there is a problem it is $255!! Will he get the shoes in time for school read the book to find out.I like this book because it was so funny because when Hubie he begs his mom for the shoes. It is realistic to me because when I go back to school shopping I want something cool for school too. My favorite part is when he begs his mom for the shoes to get it for him. I like this put because it reminds me of me I do that to. I think people of all ages should read this book . It is funny.It is also easy to read. |
422 | Do you like going to the theater? Then you'll love this book! He is no ordinary cat. He is a theater cat. Clawdio lives in a theater that is putting on the play Peter Pan. He thinks he is the stage manager's assistant. In this book you will learn what is going on backstage in a theater. When we read the book it reminded us of our work on our school broadcast. I (Nitesh) felt stage fright like the actress, Jenny, in the story. It reminded me (Brandon) of when I almost messed up on the school broadcast as Clawdio almost did in the story. We liked the illustrations because they look so cartoon like. Our favorite picture was when Clawdio looked in the mirror and imagined himself as the character of Captain Hook. If you like Radio City Music Hall in New York City or any other place to see a live show, you will like this book. We recommend this book to people that like the theater and to people who like cats as well as wonderful illustrations. Even if you don't like the theater, you might like the book because it's funny. It is also interesting. Clawdio can also tell you things about backstage in a theater that you might not have known before! |
423 | In this book there are three children named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, who lost their parents and had to live with an evil guardian named Count Olaf. Klaus is the animal examiner. Sunny is the biter. Their parents were killed by a fire that was started by Count Olaf. Count Olaf is a very, very greedy man. He tries to take the children's fortune.This book is from a series of books called "A Series of Unfortunate Events". But, to make sense of what happens in each story, you have to read the books in the order they are written. The reason you have to do this is because the stories continue from one book to the next. My book, THE BAD BEGINNING, has happy middle parts and sad parts in the beginning of the book and at the end of the story. But the book also has some funny parts. A funny part in the book is when Sunny, the youngest child, says, "Oh!". What she is really saying is that Count Olaf has a terrible place. This was funny to me because even though she was a baby, she still said what she thought about Count Olaf's place. Sunny is my favorite character because she has a lot of courage. She doesn't cry even when she is afraid of Count Olaf. She also knows how to take care of herself even though she's only a baby. I recommend this book because it's exciting to see how and if the children outsmart Count Olaf. Third through fifth graders would probably like to read this book. What might interest the reader is that the children are not your ordinary children and their lives are very, very unusual. |
424 | The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket is an exciting book. The story starts off with a fire and the Baudelaire children's parents die. A guy named Mr. Poe brought them to Count Olaf's mansion because there was no one else to care for them. Count Olaf is a person who had a disgusting mansion and teeth. He also has a tattoo on his ankle. When the Baudelaire children arrived at Count Olaf's mansion, he reveals his plan that he is going to steal the Baudelaire fortune. The Baudelaire children were treated poorly and they were getting so tired from doing so many chores but Count Olaf didn't let them rest. Count Olaf presents a play. The play is when Count Olaf marries Violet. Will Count Olaf marry Violet? Will Count Olaf get the Baudelaire fortune? You will have to read this book to find out! The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket is an excellent book. One thing that's excellent is the illustrations. One illustration shows the mansion on fire when the parents died. The picture was so realistic it made me feel like I was really there. Also, it showed what the author is talking about. There were interesting characters in the book. One character named Sunny bites everything she sees. Another character named Violet makes so many inventions. Finally, a character named Claus likes to read a lot! This book is very funny! You will find yourself cracking up as you turn the pages. Count Olaf is a extremely wild looking character. He has a tattoo on his ankle and has out of control gray hair. Sunny will make you laugh because she always says the wrong thing. The Bad Beginning has great illustrations, interesting and funny characters!I recommend this book to people that like adventure books. One reason is that it has an exciting plot with many twists. Another reason is that you feel that you are in the story as the Baudelaire children survive the evil Count Olaf. There are many action scenes as they confront Count Olaf and try to defeat him. This book is great because of its unfortunate topic. I really recommend this book if you want to read about adventures! |
425 | This is a story about three children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, and an evil person named Count Olaf. Count Olaf is an actor and the children are orphans. The Baudelaire's parents died in a fire. Read this book to find out how the Baudelaires got stuck with Count Olaf as their guardian.I liked the Baudelaires because Violet is an inventor, Klaus likes to read, and Sunny likes to bite stuff. They were my favorite characters.My favorite part is when everybody was chasing Count Olaf. Then Count Olaf turned out the lights and everybody was bumped or tripped over each other and ended up getting hurt. It was funny!When I read this book I felt sad for the Baudelaires and wondered if their lives would ever get better.I recommend this book to second through 12th graders because this book has violence and sadness that might scare younger kids. |
426 | This book is part of a series of books and I'm reviewing the first one. It's about three kids named Sunny, Klaus, and Violet. They are orphans and all their fortune is lost. Mr. Poe helps them. He brings them to a family member, Count Olaf . Count Olaf is a terrible person who gives them oatmeal for breakfast. There is a neighbor, Justice Strauss, who tries to help them. In one part, the children have to cook a fine meal for Count Olaf and his gang. Count Olaf kidnaps Sunny. Will the children get their fortune back or not? Find out by reading the book!I didn't really like the illustrations because they were too simple. I think it is an exciting book because it has big events in it. It's not too long and not too short. That's why I like it. The book has exactly the right amount of pages because I don't like stories that are too long. My favorite character is Sunny because she always bites things. I think this book is good to read from 2nd to 5th because it has challenging words and lots of detail. |
427 | What would you do if your parents died in a fire? Read what happened to Violet, Klas, and Sunny when their parents died in a fire in The Bad Beginning: A Series of Unfortunate Events written by Lemony Snicket. To begin with, this story was about three kids who not only lose their parents, but also their home in a fire. Because of that, they have to go to a relative’s house. The problem is that this relative, Count Olaf, wants to steal their fortune that was left to them by their parents! He comes up with a plot to marry Violet in a play and it actually would be a real wedding. This would then give him their fortune because of the marriage. When the kids figure this out with the help of a nice neighbor that lets them use his library to find out about the laws of marriage, they try to stop him. The problem is that Olaf is very mean and threatens to kill Sunny if they don’t do what he wants them to do. They have to figure out how to save their fortune and get away from Olaf! In addition, my favorite part of the book was when they were going to be part of a play. It is my favorite part because it will be exciting that they will be in front of 100 people or more! Also it will be funny because they did not practice. So that might mean they will mess up. The most exciting part of the book is that in the play count Olaf will try to steal the fortune. This was exciting because I didn’t know if his plan was going to work or not. This is because he always reads and he has glasses, just like my brother. In conclusion, this book is perfect for kids 8-12. It is also a good book if you like adventures and villains. Go check it out today! |

She has to stay home from school.We both like when Camilla goes to school and everybody says things and different color designs go all over her body. It is amazing how the stripes can change to all different designs. We feel that the book is funny when you see four things on her body at once. Jessica feels that the kids like to laugh at Camilla without caring about her feelings. That's the lesson, to really care about the person and not how they look.

431 | Camilla Cream was picking out a dress for the first day of school she looked in the mirror and she screamed because she had a bad case of stripes. The reason for the bad case of stripes is because she is worried what other people think about her. Read this book to find out if Camilla Cream can be comfortable being her own self. My favorite character is Camilla Cream because she is the main part of the story. She makes the story really interesting. My favorite part is when she turns into her bedroom because I like to see like what her body parts are in her room.

432 | This book is about a girl named Camilla who has a bad case of the stripes. She has rainbow stripes all over her and she doesn't know a cure. The stripes started to come when she stopped eating what she really, really loved: lima beans. Her mom tried to call a doctor, but nothing was working. Then a lady came and gave Camilla some lima beans and she was cured!First, one reason why I like this book is because it teaches you a lesson.It teaches you that it's okay to be different. For example, Camila should not care what others think about her liking lima beans.Like I said I love this book. Another reason is because it has lots of colorful pictures. For example, one of my favorite illustrations is when Camila's face looks like the American flag when the class is doing the pledge of allegiance. Also, I think the book is funny and cool. Something that is funny is how the kids are staring at her when the lady comes to give her lima beans. Camila yells "stop" to the lady. My favorite part of the book was when Camila says "wait I actually love lima beans'' to the lady and she walks in and gives Camilla a big handful of Lima beans.I recommend this book to 2nd grade to 5th graders because I enjoy it. I bet you read this book and say to yourself "This Book gives a good lesson. Thank you it's amazing, and it's just teaching a girl lessons!".. I bet you love love love this book! |

I mean really, really bad. My favorite part was when kitty was in the bath with all the soap and water. It was really funny. I liked that part because the narrator said that puppy had to get a long, long, long bath but puppy had a short bath. And kitty had a longer bath and cats hate baths. Well my cat definitely hates baths. What this book reminds me of is when my cat is bad and goes out in the rain. Because my cat gets wet but not too wet because if its pouring outside my cat won’t go out. But I never gave my cat a bath! Who would? I would recommend this book to my mom or dad. I would because they love funny books and this book is really funny. They would probably laugh at the cat because we have a cat. |

444 | I really liked reading the book Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray by Nick Bruel.To begin with, this book was a comedy because Uncle Murray comes to kitty-sit Bad Kitty and puppy. At the start of the story, Bad Kitty’s owners were going on a little trip. When puppy went to go get the door, Uncle Murray was there. They were surprised to see him. Uncle Murray comes in and soon tries to get lunch and kitty screams like this: “SCREEECH!” Since kitty’s owners are gone though, Uncle Murray has to take care of them and clean the house. This is not always easy with Bad Kitty in the house!Also, I like this book because it’s funny and has a lot of action. Bad Kitty is always acting up so that gives the action. I found puppy to be interesting. He’s interesting because he liked Uncle Murray but kitty didn’t. My favorite part was when all the cats in the neighborhood attacked Uncle Murray and Fantastic Cat and Power Mouse hit him in the head with a spatula. This was so funny that I couldn’t stop laughing.At last, I recommend this book for 7 and up. This is why I like Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray by Nick Bruel. Visit your local library and see if you can find it! |
445 | This book is Bad kitty vs. Uncle Murray and this book is a little crazy! That’s why I liked it! To begin with, this book was about Bad Kitty when his owners left him alone at home with puppy.

So Bad Kitty kept trying to hide from Uncle Murray and he caused trouble by doing things like pretending to be a pillow to scare Uncle Murray. Uncle Murray gets mad at that! Soon enough, they start to get along and Bad Kitty thinks Uncle Murray will take good care of them.I like this book because it is funny. Bad Kitty does funny things like the pillow part and hiding in the closet with puppy and when he got hungry and he started dreaming that puppy’s leg was a chicken leg! My favorite part of the book is when Bad Kitty spins super-fast and turns into a mini tornado of cat fur. Then all of a sudden tones of cats attack Uncle Murray and then Uncle Murray goes crazy and walks out the door with puppy. Puppy reminds me of my dog Louie. I had to give my dog away, but puppy makes me think of how much I loved him just like Uncle Murray loves puppy!In conclusion, I recommend this book to everybody who likes cats and dogs!

446 | I am reviewing Bad Kitty VS Uncle Murray because it is amazing. And I get a good image in my mind. Bad Kitty’s owner had to go away for a week so Uncle Murray is watching Bad Kitty for a week. Uncle Murray is chasing Bad Kitty outside and a lot of cats following Bad Kitty and Uncle Murray back in the house. Then Uncle Murray yells GET OUT! And all of the cats get out of the house but Uncle Murray slams the door before Bad Kitty gets out of the house then Uncle Murray does something so bad to Bad Kitty…well you will just have to read this book to find out.The Bad Kitty book series is one of my favorites. I think it is so funny because it has a talking cat. First, Bad Kitty is hilarious because when Uncle Murray was watching Bad Kitty, he said, “Hi there, ya goofy cat!” But Bad Kitty thought he was going to hurt him. That was my favorite part in the book because Bad Kitty was totally wrong about Uncle Murray. His behavior from then on showed how scared he was even though Uncle Murray was trying to be nice. This is why I think Bad Kitty is the funniest character in this book because he totally misunderstands that Uncle Murray is actually nice!I recommend this book to readers who like to laugh! |
447 | This story was about an author who wanted to write a story about a cat named Kitty. But Kitty did not like the story. So she tried to leave the story. But the author drew characters to stop her from getting out of the book.My favorite part is when the author wrote speech bubbles that said, "I love turnips!" The unique thing about this story was that the author talks to the reader. This book is part of a series. They are similar because they have the same characters and different because the author didn't talk in the other books. I like it because the author talked to me.I recommend this book because it's funny! This book is good if you are between 1st and 4th grade. If you like cats and like to laugh you will love this book. |
448 | When this seed walked by, everyone was frightened because he did everything bad. He cut in line, he talked in the movie theater, he lied about pointless stuff and he never washed his hands or feet. At first he was in a sunflower with his family but he fell out and he was put in a bag of sunflower seeds and someone almost ate him and spit him out. He landed on gum under the bleachers and became a bad seed. One day, he decided to be good. He still did some bad things but he said please and thank you and smiled and held the door for people… well sometimes. Read the book to find out what happens. We liked this book because we liked how he was cranky and everyone was scared of him. We liked the part when he turned good because he made a big twist – everyone thought he was bad but he actually wanted to be good.Don’t judge someone that they are always going to be bad because they can change. We recommend this book to kids in 1st grade to 8th grade because in every grade when you are mad you can't be mad your whole life because no one will want to be around you and you can decide to be good. |
449 | This book is about a boy that has a bad, bad day. First, he bumps his head. Then, he's trying to find his clothes and can't. He's late for the school bus so he has to go in the car with his mom. You have to read the story to see how his day ends.I really liked this story because it was silly. My favorite character is Joe because it's funny that he has such a bad day. All these things keep happening to him. My favorite part is at the end when he gets a star from his teacher.I would recommend this book for all kids because I really liked it. If you like silly stories or funny stories, this is a good one for you. |
450 | This book is about a bear cub named Bailey and he played all day. When Bailey was hungry his mother got him berries and honey and juicy fish. At night they sat and they looked at the stars. Bailey says when he grows up then he’s going to be big enough to get a star for his mom. Then his mom said to get his own food. He tried when his mother was awake. Bailey goes up a tree to try and get honey and he fell. He went inside the water to get a fish and he got it! Bailey’s mother was happy and Bailey’s eyes looked like stars. I think the book is weird because at the end of the book it shows Bailey’s eyes like a star. It was a long story to read and it was boring and it made me not read it anymore. The illustrations were ugly. It was weird because the bear looked like he had cat and dog hair popping out.I recommend it to some people, but no animals because they cannot read. I don’t want people who are scared of bears to read this book, because they will run away. I think people that like bears should read this book. People are going think that the illustrations are going to be nice. |
451 | This book is about Bailey. Bailey is the bear cub. His mom sent Bailey to go get his own food. But Bailey saw a squirrel climbing up a tree so he climbed the tree and his mother said ok, get some honey. Bailey was too scared because he thought the bee was going to sting him. His mother said, “don’t be scared, your fur is too thick.” His mom took him to the river and showed him how to get fish but Bailey was too scared because of the cold water so stood at the edge of the water. At night, mother and Bailey looked at the stars again and Bailey’s mother went to sleep. Bailey couldn’t go to sleep because he was too hungry. Bailey’s mother said that tomorrow he would get his own food. Bailey was too hungry, so instead he went to a tree and took a chunk of honeycomb but he was still hungry. So he went to the river and saw stars in the river and tried to catch them but they would slip off his paw. Bailey grabbed a fish and he ate it and his mother was proud. Then they went back to see the stars and Bailey said to his mother, I will never catch a star because they are too slippery. His mother said you don’t need to get me a star because the stars in your eyes are lovelier than the river. He tries to find his own food because his mother said that when you are a big bear, she won’t be looking for anymore food for him. Mother tried to show him how to get food. She said, “it’s easy find fruits, you put your nose up and sniff the fruit.”My opinion is that Bailey did the right thing to try his best to get his own food. I think it’s funny that his name is Bailey and he is a boy. It is funny that Bailey thought that he could reach a star for his mother when he grows up, but when he figures out that he will never reach the stars, he told his mother that he will not get a star because there is no way you can reach the stars in the sky. It was funny when he was scared of bees and he ran up the tree, and his mother said he doesn’t have to get scared because he has thick fur and the bees can’t sting him, but he still got scared. I think the lesson of the book is that you should never give up and always keep trying because you will never know if you would succeed. I would recommend this to my little brother because he could learn to never give up and keep on trying because you will never know if you could succeed. He could also learn that whatever you think might not happen like Bailey the bear thought that he could get a star for his mother when he grows up but when he realized that he couldn’t reach the stars he told his mother that he couldn’t get a star for her. |
452 | This book is in The Bailey School Kids series. It is about four kids who go to different places. In the book Monsters Don’t Scuba Dive, the Bailey School kids think that there is a monster in Lake Erin at their summer camp. They get caught in a storm on a boat. Read to find out what will happen at the end of the book.I really liked this book. I liked how the Bailey School kids solved the mystery. I thought the kids were very smart. I wish my friends and I could solve mysteries together. My favorite part is when Melody, Eddie, Liza and Howie went to the dock. There were learning how to swim. It reminded me of when I was at the beach and I was diving off the dock. The book is part of a series called The Bailey School Kids. Some things are the same in all of the books and some things are different. For example, the books all have different mysteries but the kids always solve the mystery.I recommend this book for kids age 7 to age 10. If you like or you are a fan of mysteries this book would be perfect. The book is also an Accelerated Reader book. It almost has 70 pages in total. |
453 | If you do, you should read this book. Two girls named Liza and Melody and two boys named Eddie and Howie have an art teacher go missing at their school. They need a substitute! When Liza’s class goes to art, they find out that Ms. Zork, the new art teacher, is very different from other teachers in the school. Anytime Ms. Zork touches anything it turns black and white (like she sucked out all the color). At the end of the story they find out Ms. Zork is an alien and send her back to space!My favorite part in the story was when Ms. Zork goes back to space because she was a weird teacher. My favorite character in the story was Ms. Zork. I thought the book was scary at first because some of the words they used to describe Ms. Zork were scary. By the end, I was not scared anymore. I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and 4th grade students because they might believe aliens are real. They also might have a weird teacher themselves. |
454 | This book is about four kids who meet an angel who does karate. He falls and the angel saves him. I liked the book because the angel could break seven pieces of wood with her bare hand. Read this book to find out more about it.My favorite part was when the angel broke a piece of wood with her bare foot. It would be neat if we could do that!The character I liked was Eddie because he was funny. I liked the angel because she had a black belt. It think it't strange for an angel to have a black belt in karate!The illustrations were cool because there was a lot going on in them. The pictures were black and white sketches. I liked them because they had a lot of detail.I liked reading this book because it was funny. It was funny when Melody was about to hit Eddie with a snowball.I recommend this book to kids in second and third grade. I think they will like it because it is funny. |
455 | This book is about some kids from Bailey Street Elementary. They try to see if the new guidance counselor is Count Dracula. They think the counselor, Mr. Drake, might be Count Dracula because of his initials (D.C.) and because he likes only moonlight and the darkness. Lots of scary things happen as the kids try to find out about Mr. Drake. This is a fun book to read because I like stories about Dracula. It's weird to think about somebody at school being Dracula. My favorite part of the story is when the Bailey Street Kids hear about somebody carrying a coffin into a house, then later they see Mr. Drake go into the house. The illustrations in the book are good. They are black-and-white pictures, and I like that kind because they're old-fashioned pictures and that makes them special.I think first graders and up should read this book because it is pretty scary. Kindergartners might have nightmares, or the vampires might scare them. These things shouldn't bother older kids. |
456 | I am reviewing Dracula Doesn’t Rock and Roll. The book is about a kid named Eddie who wonders what BATs stands for. He has a special guest in class named Mr. Drake who he thinks is count Dracula. He also thinks Mr. Drake has a really cool guitar. Read the book to find out if Mr. Drake is planning something good or bad.I think Dracula Doesn’t Rock and Roll is the best book I have ever read! The main character Eddie is a great character because he is very dramatic. I also think the book has a good mystery involved in it. This book reminds me of A to Z mysteries because they both have vampire mysteries. My favorite part was when Dracula's band played in the winter fest because everyone was afraid of them.I recommend this book to people who love mystery and horror. |
457 | The Monsters Next Door is about monsters who move to Bailey City and Ben, Annie, Jane, and their friends are afraid of them. The monster family is called the Hauntlys. The Hauntlys have a Halloween party and Ben, Annie, and Jane help them set up because they want to treat the Hauntlys like they are normal. Then Ben, Annie, and Jane become friends with Kimler Hauntly, the littlest Hauntly.The Monsters Next Door is a good book because it is easy to understand. All of the characters are funny because they are monsters. The illustrations are really creative. The Monsters Next Door is a fiction book about monsters. The Monsters Next Door is easy to understand for ages seven to ten. This book would be good for any type of person, especially people who like stories about monsters.The Monsters Next Door is similar to the rest of the Bailey School Kids series because they are all about monsters. |
458 | Mrs. Jeepers invites her students to a barbecue and it starts to rain. Then they go inside and there are cobwebs and it is dusty. Then all of the kids are scared. Why do you think they are scared? Some of the kids go on a search because the teacher is missing. The kids get startled by one kid who found these monster masks. He put one on that was ugly. That's how he startled the kids. Some of the kids stay in a corner in the house. Then the kids that were on a search went to the basement and they see a green thing. Do you think they find the teacher or not? You should read this book to find out the answers above!I liked this book because it was scary and funny. This book has great descriptions like, "The candle light flickered and danced as the kids descended into the drafty basement." The descriptions help me see what's going on in the book. My favorite part was when the kid got startled. His reaction was really funny. My favorite character was the teacher because she wore a green light on her necklace. My mom's favorite color is green, so she kind of reminded me of my mom.I recommend this book to kids and grownups that like Fantasies. This book is a part of Bailey School Kids. It is a part of the real series. It's not like the skinny books, it's one of the big ones. |
459 | This book is about the Bailey School kids. Their names are Eddie, Howie, Liza, and Melody. The friends are at the playground. Melody smells pumpkin pie that smells so good that she didn’t talk, move or walk – she could just smell. They met a person selling pumpkin pie; he had a samurai sword so they thought he was a ninja who was there to steal priceless art. But they were mistaken – it was just his exhibit from the museum.I liked the book because it shows not to judge people for what they look like. So if someone is pretty they could be mean. Eddie reminded me of my friend Ethan. In the book Eddie decided that someone was a ninja just because he had a sword, but that wasn’t true. One time at my friend Ethan’s house, he said someone was ugly, but I said that he could be nice. The book made me feel happy. I’ve read Bailey School Kids books before. I like that series because it has good characters in it, and interesting things happen to the characters. I recommend this book because it tells not to think people are this kind of person or that kind of person because someone could think you’re this kind of person or that kind of person and you’re really not. I think my bother to read this book because he likes ninjas. My brother would like the part where the guy got out a sword and the kids thought he was going to chop them. |

Eddie likes to solve problems because they are fun and interesting.They are fun to Eddie because he sometimes gets bored. You just have to find out how he acts.I liked this book a lot. It was a good book because it was really interesting. It was interesting because there was mysteries and adventures. Like when Eddie tried to figure out who the sea monster was. My favorite part was when he got free tickets. I liked Eddie because he likes to go on adventures and explore.For example when he found out who was riding the motorcycle and when he found out who won the race. I didn't like his grandma because she didn't care about anything Eddie said. She never changes her mind.I recommend this book for ages 6-11. If you like action, adventure and interesting things. I am 9 and I liked this book. Have you ever felt like you want to do something like go on a adventure or explore,if so this is a good book for you. |
461 | In Bailey School Kid Vampires Do Not Were Polka Dot by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Jones, four friends named Melody, Eddie, Howie and Liza get a new teacher who is strange. One day at recess they think she is a vampire. All teachers leave school because they can’t handle the students, but why does Ms. Jeeper stay? Is she really a vampire? You will just have to read to find out.In my opinion, this book is really awesome because it was so exciting, it made me want to keep reading. Also, in this book the mysteries are really amazing. For example, the children were trying to figure out if their teacher was a vampire. My favorite character was Melanie because she was the main character who investigated the mysterious house that belonged to the teacher. I think the funniest part was when Eddie does all of his pranks. For example, Eddie used a straw to spit balls at the teacher. I was surprised that he would do that to his teacher, especially since they think she's a vampire!I recommend this book to people that like mystery and humor. |
462 | Have you ever wondered if your camp leader was something other than humans? Well, this book is about four kids and they are all friends.

The first night that they spend there, Melody woke up and she looked outside and thought she saw a werewolf. She also thinks the werewolf is Mr. Jenkins. Is Mr. Jenkins really a werewolf? You’ll have to read the book to find out if he is. One way it was scary was when Melody and Eddie thought they saw a werewolf. One of my favorite parts is when Melody woke up and looks out the window and thinks she sees a werewolf because it was scary and it gave me the jitters. When I read this book I wondered if Mr. Jenkins really was a werewolf.I recommend this book to boys and girls that like mysteries and scary books. It is a scary book and it is a mystery. This boo is good for second graders and third graders. |
463 | I am reviewing The Bailey School kids Werewolfs don’t go to Summer camp by Debby Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones. They go to a spooky summer camp. They think it is home to a werewolf! They try to find out if there really is a werewolf lurking around camp disguised as a person. No one knows if they are right or wrong. Then they try to get rid of it. They go on a night hike with everyone. They think their counselor is the werewolf. They try getting rid of it with mistletoe. They hear a howl, then you`ll have to read to find out if he really is a werewolf.In my opinion, the book Bailey School Kids Werewolfs Don’t go to Summer Camp is a suspenseful and scary book. She said “I saw the lone wolf. And it was wearing dog tags!” That was a scary part to read. Secondly, the counselor told them “anyone who doesn’t want to hear their cabin assignment can sleep outside with the wolves!” That was suspenseful because I thought that the campers weren't going to listen. Finally, at the end of the book, Liza yelled, “it’s a werewolf, run for your lives!” I didn't know if that was true so I wanted to keep reading.I would recommend this book to kids 8 – 11. And to kids who like scary books. |
464 | In Werewolves Don’t Go To Summer Camp, the Bailey School Kids are at summer camp and they are scared! They think that the camp counselor, Mr. Jenkins, is a werewolf. They have to see if he is one. In the beginning, the Bailey School Kids want to see if Mr. Jenkins is a werewolf. But just when he heard something, he quickly changed his mind and so did the other kids. They figured out a way to turn him into a human. Read to find out the rest.I think Werewolves Don’t Go To Summer Camp is a great book!!! It was cool when they snuck into Mr. Jenkin’s cabin. It was locked so they had to figure out a way to get in. The illustrations looked so cool! When they were on a hike the picture was AWESOME!!! The book is funny and worrying at the same time. Once, one of the kids thought a spider was fake, but it was real and jumped on Eddie. I would recommend this book to people who like werewolves. People who go to summer camp will also enjoy this book. So if you’re bored pick up this book and READ!! |
465 | First, Eddite, Liza, Howie and Melody were going to Camp Lone Wolf for one whole week. When they got there, they see a big hairy man who turns out to be their camp counselor Mr. Jenkins. Next, when it was dinner they had raw hamburgers. Mr. Jenkins takes a big bite into the juicy hamburger and red stuff came out that looked like blood. Then, Mr. Jenkins said they had to go on a night hike. You will have to read the book to find out. We think that the Baily School Kids, Werewolves Don’t go to Summer Camp is a funny and scary book for two reasons. The first reason is that when Liza wants to keep the mistletoe. For examples, it was funny because she wanted to keep it until Christmas. It is scary because Eddie almost gets eaten by the wolf. He sleeps outside one night to show he is brave. Those were two reasons the book was funny and scary. Our favorite part was when Liza gets carried by Mr. Jenkins are with his shift off when he was all wet. We recommend this book for ages 8 and up because there are some hard words to read. |
466 | This book is about a bank robbery. A boy caught the robber on tape. Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose must get the tape and give it to the police. They have to get the police to arrest the robber. BUT who is the robber? I liked this book because it was interesting because they had to think of a way to stop the robber. It was confusing because the robber was the detective. It was weird because the kid shaved his hair off! I recommend this to kids in kindergarten and up. I think they would like the book because it's interesting to try to figure out the mystery. Probably anybody who liked other books in this A-Z series would enjoy this one. The end of the story when someone comes in the house is one of my favorite parts, and I think other people would like that part, too. |
467 | Welcome to Green Law the Town of A to Z Mysteries. This time Dink and his friends Josh and Ruth Rose are trying to solve who is the bald bandit. But on the way they have to make some stops. If you want to find out the rest you just have to read the book!I liked this book because I love solving crimes and that is what is in this book. My favorite part is when they caught the bandit. It was surprising. This book reminded me of the cop shows and how they catch the crimes and solve the mysteries. I like Ruth Rose because she is very smart.I would recommend this book to second to fourth graders. This book has 71 pages. As I read this book I kept on trying to figure out the mystery. This book made me really want to find out what happened. So if you want to solve this story, just read the book! |
468 | Did you ever think of your bank being robbed well recently the green lawn bank had been robbed and it's up to Dink,Josh and Ruth Rose to find the criminal.Later the three friends were chatting then suddenly a stranger appeared at the house front door of one of the friends! And the stranger requested the kids to try and find a video tape that was essential because it displayed the bandit with his mask off.The three friends asked what's in it for them if they gave him the video tape and the stranger said “he will give the gang $300” and so the race was on who will find the tape first read the book to find out. I thought this was a pretty good book because it had lots of good mysteries. Although it it did not have a lot a hummer which is a downer. It had a great plot like the bank robber stealing the money and the fact that there were a lot of twists like the detective’s identity. The characters are kinda funny because Josh always has that feeling to eat! My favorite character is Josh because like I said before he always wants to eat. For example,”what will we do first” Ruth rose asked?”lets eat” Josh said. See what I mean.I would recommend this book to ages 7-9 and to people who love mysteries being solved by kids.This was a pretty good book like I said before.It has some harry potter elements like the detective’s secret identity. I give this a 8 out of 10 potatoes.If your dying for a good mystery.This is the book for you! |
469 | Eddie, Howie, Liza, and Melody are very suspicious of their new boating instructor Captain Teach. Is he really a pirate? Captain Blackbeard Edward TEACH to be exact? Or is he just a VERY strict boating instructor? After they find a treasure map in his cabin they’re not so sure he is just a boating instructor. But they still have one thing to consider. Pirates don’t wear pink sunglasses!I loved the book Pirates Don’t Wear Pink Sunglasses because the characters are very adventurous. They go snooping in their boating instructor’s cabin and find a treasure map. They go looking for the treasure, too. I loved the illustrations because they are very realistic and they capture the scene really well even though they are black and white. The characters remind me of myself when I was little because I was always snooping around too .I recommend this book to 1-3 graders because it has humor 1-3 graders will understand. |
470 | Have you ever had a camp instructor as a werewolf? Well in this book the Bailey School Kids do. This book is about a group of kids and they go to A camp. The camp is called Camp Lone Wolf. The camp has to pay 20 dollars or they will build a mall in the space that they have. Captain Teach tells them a story about Molly the red.Molly the red has treasure and the Bailey school kids want to find it so . . . .you will just have to read the book to find out! !I liked this book because it reminds me of when I to camp and my coach made me work so hard so I can win the boating race. I liked the part when they trying to find the treasure because I didn't know if Captain Teach was going to catch them or not. I think this book was funny because Captain Teaches bird named Jack kept coming to them when they are trying to focus for example when Captain Teach was chasing the Bailey School Kids and Jack came up to them and squawked at them for about 5 minutes straight. I would recommend this book to people who like comedy and adventures because this book has some funny parts and it has a lot of adventures. This book kept me interesting because I wanted to know what happened next on each page. The chapters are interesting to like chapter 4 treasure. I wanted to know what happened in that chapter and the same happened in every other chapter to! I think this book will never want you to stop reading because it is so interesting that it feels like you are in the book and you are doing everything the character is doing. |
471 | The moment I opened the book I was interested. It's neat because it talks about girls trying to fulfill their dreams. The book started when Matthew,also called Grun, was exploring. On each of his three voyages across the sea, he brought a baby girl with him. The girls named Pauline, Petrova and Posy were all left alone by their parents. The three girls were adopted by Grun and Sylvia, his great neice, who raised them. Soon Grun had to go on a long expedition. So, he arranged for the bank to take care of the girls for the next five years. Except the money runs out. One of the boarders is a dance teacher and sees potential in the girls. She gives them a scholarship to an art school. However, Petrova is not into dancing or art and has a hard time making the decision to go. They vow to make their name famous.This book is a class one book. If you are interested in acting or dancing, this is a book you need to read. My favorite part is when Pauline lets being a lead in a play go to her head. I like this part because it teaches Pauline that everything doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. My favorite character is Posy. I like this character because she is a good dancer. Sometimes she can't stop herself. She always wants to dance. Posy reminds me of myself because I love to dance and I can't imagine quitting, EVER. While I was reading I was always wondering if their vow came true because it means so much to them. Read it yourself to find out their fate. I loved this book. I think you should try it. Especially, if you are interested in dancing and art. |
472 | Then this book is for you. It’s about Kate and Mike who are cousins who love baseball. During spring break Mike and Kate fly from New York to Los Angeles. Kate’s dad is a baseball scout but there is something strange going on during the games and practices. The guy is actually a detective. He got hired by a woman to spy on the manager and scouts of the LA Dodgers. Even though the man is a detective he steals the manager’s cell phone and bats from the players. Read to find out if Kate and Mike help solve this mystery.I loved this baseball mystery book so much I couldn’t put it down. There are seven books in the series. The great thing is you don’t have to read them in order. This book makes me wonder how it feels to be a professional baseball player! I would recommend this book to 2nd and 3rd graders because it is clearly written . The story starts to pick up speed when Mike and Kate see the unusual guy. You will not be disappointed when you read Ballpark Mysteries The L.A. Dodgers. |
473 | The main characters are Mike and Kate. Mike gets a new t-shirt and Ranger Jimmy borrows Mike’s shirt but doesn’t want to give it back. Will the cousins get the shirt back? Read the book to find out! In my opinion I loved Rangers Rustlers. I loved it because Mike is so funny. He had me laughing throughout the whole book. I also liked Mike because he was always cracking jokes on Kate. They were so funny. Mike reminded me about my brother because my brother is really funny too. He always makes me laugh at home. This book is part of a series. They are similar because they all take place at a ballpark, so if you like sports this is a perfect series for you. I have read three books in the series so far and have loved every one of them. I think other kids should read this book because it’s a mystery and it has a surprise ending. A type of reader that would like this book is a reader that likes mysteries. Something that might interest the reader is that there is a scary part.! Also it’s about baseball, so if you like sports definitely read this book! |
474 | Henry was late for school once too often. and he kept repeating it. His teacher let him do his morning work even though he was late. His teacher said he would have to have a good excuse or stay at school for the rest of his life. He teased his teacher by telling funny things about why he was late. You?ll just have to find out the rest.You can look in the back of the book for the Decoder to tell you the alien words. I do not like the alien words because I cannot read it. Henry P. fooled his teacher but she didn?t believe it. I like how he fooled his teacher because it was funny. He called the aliens ?doofbrain? and he meant ?thank you? but he forgot the word to say ?thank you?. I liked the pictures because they were made out of tin foil and things. I think first and second grade kids will like this book because it is funny. |
475 | First, everyone visits Stanley?s ice cream shop. No more customers stopped at Stanley?s shop because a new highway as built. Zelmo spaceship crashed into Stanley?s new sign. Zelmo tried to leave, but his ship was still stuck into the sign. Then the shop was moved by the ship to the new highway. Then everyone gathered to try Zelmo?s new banana split from outer space. Zelmo went to Mars Ice Cream Fair.My favorite part of the story is when the spaceship crashes into Stanley?s sign because that is how they meet each other. My favorite character is Zelmo because he makes the best banana split. This story relates to my life because I enjoy eating ice cream too. This story has pictures. The pictures only help a little to tell the story because they are not colorful. I think that others should read this book because it shows you lots of ice cream. |
476 | One night when Annika was ice skating she heard a cute little roar. She started going out of control and landed in the snow. When she got up she saw a polar bear shivering in the cold. Annika had never seen a polar bear act cold before. She named her Shiver. Later on she and Shiver and her friends were trying to find pieces of a wand to break evil Wenlock's spell. They found all the pieces and all his magical powers went into the wand. My favorite part of the story is when Shiver says, "Sparkle for Sparkle," because it is a great line to say. She is my favorite charcter because she has pretty eyes. This story relates to my life because I try to save my friends and family from danger. This story has pictures that are helpful. I think that others should read this story because it is wonderful and it show people how to get along with others. |
477 | There was a girl named Odette who was very shy. Marie loved to go on adventures. One day they both went on an adventure to Swan Lake. Odette saw a prince and fell in love in love with him. The prince fell in love with her. They got married and lived happily ever after.My favorite part of the story is when Odette and the prince got married because they were very happy. I love this story and the pictures. This story reminds me of when I went to the lake because the lake was as pretty as the lake in the book. My favorite character is Odette because she is beautiful.I think you should read this book because it is a very good story and because it will make you feel good. |
478 | The book is about a dog named George. He makes the sounds because he ate some animals like a pig, cow, duck, and a cat.I like this book because it is funny. It was funny when George ate a pig, duck, cow, and a cat.My favorite part was when George talked like different animals. It was funny when a dog barked and out came the sounds of different animals.When I read the book I felt like I was in the book. I could imagine being George and making funny sounds.I recommend this book to everybody because it is a fun book to read to make you happy. |
479 | Well you should read Bark George, by Jules Feitter. George goes on an epic adventure with mom to the vet. George has to stand there for 4 minutes! When he was done he went down to the sidewalk and instead of animals he ate a human and at the end of the book he says, "HELLO! "My favorite part of the story is when George is going home and his mom takes him onto the sidewalk. She says, “Bark George!” and George says “HELLO!” This reminds me of me trying to make my dog bark. My favorite character was George’s mom because she goes crazy!If you like dogs making funny sounds, I would recommend this book. I would also recommend this book to a reader who likes funny, funny stories! |
480 | The Raton family was having a picnic. Papa and Mama Raton were smooching. Papa said, ?Go play by yourselves. We are going to be smooching.? A cat came along and saw them. Brother and Sister called him Gato Flaco. The cat ran after them. Papa said, ?I?m not afraid of the cat!? She barked at the cat in Spanish. The cat ran away because he thought she was a dog and he was scared. ?I liked the book because there was smooching. I liked the part when they called the cat Gato Flaco. It was a funny book. It had Spanish words in it and I know Spanish.I would recommend this book to Marcelino because I think he would like the smooching the Papa and the Mama did. I think people who like to smooch will like this book. People who like to speak other languages will like this book. |
481 | Barkley had a job in the circus. He did tricks with four other dogs. Barkley walked on his front legs. He walked on his back legs. The other dogs stood on Barkley's back.My favorite part of the book is when Barkley goes to a restaurant and does tricks, because he is cute when he does tricks. My least favorite character is Barkley's owner, because he is mean to Barkley. I can relate to Barkley, because I want to be loved by someone.The book has pictures and they help to tell how cool Barkley's tricks are. I think others should read this book because it is a cute story. |
482 | Barn Dance is about a family that lives on a farm. One night everybody was asleep except one skinny kid with questions in his head. He hears a voice and a tune coming from the barn. What magic is about in the night? You have to read to see the excitement that awaits the skinny kid.I like this book because it is fun. Lots of animal characters are dancing in the barn. The authors use very good description words that sound like singing when read aloud. The pictures go really well with the words. I also like the story because I am like the skinny boy in the story. I have lots of questions in my head.I recommend this book to young kids who like picture books read aloud. If you like illustrations that help tell the story then you will like this. |
483 | This book is about two brothers and one sister who travel to different states in America. They are on a baseball team. They face other teams and get money for winning baseball. Read Barnstormers to find out what happens.I’m a great baseball player. The two brothers are great baseball players, too. I think this was one of the best books I ever read because I love baseball and I also love adventures. I would say this book is good for people 8 and up. If you like baseball and adventures then you’ll love this book. If you’re frustrated and give up a lot then this is a great book for you because it teaches you that even if something bad happens to your family, there’s always a new day. |
484 | This story is about a girl who loves baseball. But her mother drags her into ballet. Her mother thinks baseball is for boys. She finds out her best friend was dragged into ballet by her mother too. They have a deal. They will keep ballet a secret because, if her teammates, the Sharks, found out, they would laugh. Then, she hears bad news. There will be a recital in two weeks. She felt like she had a headache. Will the Sharks see her? Will they laugh? Read the book to find out what happens at the big recital.We like the book because the illustrations are funny. My favorite part (Nina) is the big recital. It?s like Princess Lulu Goes To Camp also by Kathryn Cristaldi because they both have a main character who doesn?t want to do something in the beginning but ends up liking it in the end.We recommend this book to people who like either baseball or ballet or both. Other people would like to read this book too because it?s interesting. It?s interesting because at the big recital an unexpected surprise comes. |
485 | This book tells about a girl that loves Baseball and Ballet. Her name is Lilly. She loved Baseball the best. Then her mom put her in Ballet. She hated that.This book is fun because Lilly did not like Ballet. Then she started to love Ballet. Then I thought the Lilly was sleeping with me. Then it made me put on my Ballet shoes and do Ballet with her. I would reommend this book because the pictures are very funny and cute. |
486 | This story is about a girl who loves to play baseball, but her mother thinks it's for boys and says she has to take ballet. But then she didn't want her friends to know she was taking ballet. The girl in the story hates ballet and says, "I have pink tights and pink slippers. Mom puts a pink ribbon in my hair. She doesn't want her baseball team to know. Will they see her or not?The girl in the story does not like pink and neither do we. We like the illustrations in the book because they're colorful and certain colors stand out. We like the colors, especially the leotards on the girls and mostly the light blues and pinks. We used to take ballet and we quit, but now Jaclyn wishes she hadn't.Our favorite part in the story is when the girl jumps up and grabs her friend's crown when it flew up and everybody cheered. It is our favorite part because she knew that her friend loved that crown, so she didn't just stand there, she leaped up and grabbed it.We recommend this book because it has great illustrations. We think you will enjoy them. We think this book will be good for 5-8 year olds. If you like this book we think you will like a lot of Abby Carter books because they are really good. We think this book is good because it has a nice story. |
487 | This book is about a girl who plays shortstop for a baseball team called the Sharks. Her Mom thinks that she should also do some girl things so she signs her up for ballet class. But the little girl doesn't want anyone on her baseball team to know about her ballet lessons. Do her teammates find out? What happens if they do? Read this book to find out.I really liked this book because it had a lot of surprises. Not only was the ending a surprise, but there were other parts of the story that turned out differently than I had expected. My favorite part of the book was when the little girl jumped up and caught the crown of another ballerina during a ballet recital. This was my favorite part of the story because it was funny. It was funny because I didn't expect it to happen and usually it doesn't happen at a ballet recital. I know this because I have gone to ballet recitals before. This book is different from other books I've read because in this book a little girl does two things: baseball and ballet. In all the other books I've read, the main character only does one thing.I would recommend this book because it is easy to read and it has a surprise ending. First through third grade children could read this book by themselves. |
488 | This book is about a girl who wants to play baseball, and her mom thinks baseball is for boys. Her ballet teacher is very strict. Her class dances the dance of the dandelions. She also played baseball on a team called the Sharks. Her friend Mary Ann does baseball too. My favorite part is when she catches the crown. Her team is there. Her aunt is there; her uncle is there too. Her mom is there with her baby sister. It is my favorite part because it was interesting. I found Madam, the ballet teacher, interesting because she was strict but nobody got in trouble. This book reminded me of my brother because he said he wanted to do karate. Then when he was in karate, he did not want to do it any more.I would recommend this book for girls who are 7 and up. |
489 | Baseball Ballerina is about a girl who's on a baseball team called the Sharks. Her mom thinks baseball is for boys and she needs to do more girl things. So her mom takes her to ballet class. She practices for a show. At their show, her crown falls off, but she catches it and everyone thinks she is a star. Even the Sharks!I like this story because it was funny. Especially when her crown fell off, but she caught it and everyone clapped and cheered for her. This reminds me of another book, but I don't remember the name of it, where these girls had crowns and their crowns fell off too. My favorite character is the little girl because she did some funny things like when she giggled in class when her friend kept turning around like a tornado.I would recommend this story to my mom and little girls because it might be funny to them too. If they like ballet, they might like reading about this girl doing ballet. |
490 | This book is about a boy and his family who gets forced to go to military camp because America is at war with Japan. A few months later, the radio was talking about a far place called Pearl Harbor. The family had to move really fast. His mom cried a lot. When they arrived at this camp it was really dirty and dusty. Military camp was awful to them. They felt lonely and miserable. A couple of days later the kids and adults started digging up holes and making benches for their baseball field. Their moms took off covers from mattresses to make uniforms. Then they made their teams and the kids played the adults. Read the book to find out if he hit a home run or if he struck out. Baseball saved them because it lead them to victory because it was the only thing they could do. This book was told by the boy in the story.We liked the book because all three of us like baseball. All of us think the book is great because it's about tolerance. Our favorite part is when he hits a home run. We learned that people should never judge people before you know them. This book is like The Kid Who Only Hit Home runs because the kid didn't know how to play baseball so well either. But in the end he learned how to play.We recommend this book to people who like baseball and tolerance. We think the illustrator's drawing style looks dusty and dirty. |
491 | This is a good book! The book is about a kid who persevered. He was a Japanese-American boy who was sent to an internment camp during World War II, in 1942. People in the camp created a baseball field and the women made uniforms. They played baseball. They weren't good, but it helped them pass the time.I think the book was interesting because I learned what internment camps were and how they were used during World War II. I didn't know anything about them before I read this book. This book has many illustrations. Most of them are made with dark colors and are serious looking. They help the reader understand the story and the feelings of the characters. My favorite part was when the kid hit the ball over the fence for a homerun. I felt happy for him because he had a very hard life and making a homerun was something really special for him. I think kids in grades 1-8 would like this book because they could learn about World War II and American history from it. |
492 | Were you and your family ever forced to live in an internment camp? The boy in this book was forced to live in a U.S. military camp because Americans felt that they could not even trust Japanese Americans. The United States was at war with Japan. His family was very sad because they had to leave their home and live in a camp that was more like prison. It had guards so they could not escape. One day, the little boy's dad said, "We need to build something." He thought it would make people happy if everyone helped build a big baseball field. They worked and worked and worked. Finally, the baseball field was finished with benches and cages just like a real professional baseball field. Read this book to find out if the baseball field made everyone happy and if baseball really saved them!We think that the lesson in this story is to never give up and always believe in yourself no matter how bad things may seem. We liked the illustrations because they looked like real photographs. We think the illustrator was creative because he drew pictures in slow motion. We also liked the story because baseball is our favorite sport and this book has good suspense. We felt amazed at the end of the story because it did not end the way we expected it too. We recommend this book to people who like baseball and like to read. If you like to read stories about things that happened in the past, this would also be a good book for you. |
493 | This book is told by a boy in the story. His family was forced go to a military camp when America was at war with Japan. When they got into the camp, it was really dirty and messy. They felt awful and miserable.After a few days, they built a baseball field.Mothers made uniforms out of matresses. They made their teams and the kids played the adults.The boy didn't know how to play baseball. Read the book and find out if he made a home run. I like this book because I like the illustrator's style. He used dark colors. Each page has illustrations that helped me better understand the characters' feelings. This book reminds me of my dad and I playing baseball. My dad is like the father in the story who teaches a son how to play baseball. He also teaches his son the moves how to get a home run.I recommend this book to all the kids who love to play baseball. It will surely inspire them to make a home run! |
494 | The 5 main characters in this book are Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and Henry Aaron. I would recommend this book because it teaches you a lot about five baseball players and how many straight games they made like Joe DiMaggio nicknamed Joltin? Joe because he was one of baseballs best all-around players after five years, made fifty six straight games. Jackie Robinson was the first black man on a major-league team in more than half a century.I like this book because it has many interesting facts about baseball?s best players like I didn?t know that Roberto Clemente died in a plane crash on New Year?s Eve. |
495 | I read the book Baseball's Greatest Catchers. This book is about great catchers such as Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, Micky Cochrane, Muddy Ruel, Ernie Lombardi, Birdie Tebbetts, and Elston Howard. This book has facts about each and every catcher. If you like baseball you'll like this book!The characters I liked were Micky Cochrane, Gabby Hartnett and Bill Dicky. They were my favorite because they were some of the best catchers at that time.When I read the book I felt sad for some of the catchers. I especially felt bad for Micky Owen when he was playing for the Dodgers. They were one strike away from winning the World Series against the Yankees when he let a ball get past him. Then the Yankees rallied and went on to win the World Series!This book reminds me of my life because in Farm League Baseball I liked playing catcher. It also reminds me of watching games on TV with my dad.I recommend this book to 2nd-4th graders. People who like baseball and baseball historians will like this book. |
496 | One day a boy?s father took him to the town of Hudson, New York, to sell some baskets. On the way home they went through the park. That?s all a bushwhacker knows." The boy became very sad. When the boy returned home he went into his father?s shed and knocked down all the baskets because he was so mad. His father?s friend, Joe, came into the shed and taught him to believe in himself and love his talent of basket making. We liked how Mary Lyn Ray used beautiful language because it made us relate to the feelings of the characters in the story. I (MIchele) think the illustrations are excellent because they match the words perfectly. I (Christina) like how Mary Lyn Ray said, "He could feel a heavy black shadow all the way home." We recommend this book to people who never give up. This is a great book for people who believe in what is right. We also recommend this book to people who like crafting. |
497 | I'm going to tell you about this wonderful book I read. It's about a boy and his violin who plays wonderful music. His father is a coach of a good baseball team. The teams name is "The Dukes". He and his father go to church. I like this book because it is special to me because the boy plays wonderful music on his violin. My favorite part of the book is when he is in church and he plays his violin. My favorite character is the little boy and his father because they seem to be very kind.I recommend this book to anyone that likes music and baseball. I myself enjoy baseballand I love to listen to music. |
498 | This book is the story of a bat who wants to be like all the other bats. The story starts when a bat cannot sleep, because he can't stop thinking about being different and brown. The bat gets inspired to write poems when he sees how beautiful it is in the daytime. He talks to a woodpecker, and realizes it is cool to be different, and shares all his poems with other animals.My favorite part was how the animals had human characteristics. I liked the woodpecker because he was so convincing when he talked to the bat. I enjoyed the setting, the woods and barn, because the bat kept flying back and forth between them and that was very realistic. Even though the animals talk, and the bat writes poetry, the author used a realistic setting because bats really live in the barn. The poems are very descriptive. The poems express the bat's feelings. |
499 | A bat family lives in an old barn until one day a bulldozer tears it down. Now the bat family has to find a new home. Everytime that they think that they have found the perfect place to live, something happens to ruin it and they have to move away. This happens about five times. Then Batbaby decides to visit his friends in the forest to ask them for help. Squirrel and Woodpecker tell Batbaby that they know of the perfect home for him and his family. You'll be surprised where the bat family finally makes its home.Batbaby reminds me of my Mom. When Batbaby's family had to move, Batbaby wanted to say good-bye to his friends. My Mom told me that the first time she moved away she wanted to say good-bye to her friends before leaving, just like Batbaby. This was a good book becasue I didn't know where the bat family was going to live until the very end. The illustrator of this book uses a lot of purple in his drawings. I think he does this to give you the idea of nighttime. That's when bats come out to hunt for bugs.I would recommend this book to anybody who likes to read about bats. The book not only tells you about a bat family that tries to find a new place to live, but it has true bat facts at the end. First graders who are good readers and older children could read this book on their own. If you like bats but can't read all the words yourself, you might get someone else to read it to you. |
500 | This book is really fascinating and has wild creatures in it. Are these creatures fake? You'll have to find out for yourself if they are real or not! The characters are Batboy, Roadrunner, Ape-man, Loch Ness monster and the giant sea squid. I like the Roadrunner because he can run fast and hit rattlesnakes in the head and kill them. He even eats their babies but that is not nice at all! This book is interesting because it gives you information about old things and creatures. My favorite part was when the giant sea squid took down the boats.I recommend this book to third graders and up because it might scare younger kids. |
