Charlotte’s Web

One of my favorite books as a child was
Charlotte’s Web by E.B White. I liked that all of the farm animals talked (because we know that they really do not) and that it was about a spider saving Wilbur the pig. This book was very well written. I say this because as I read it, I almost felt as if it was the middle of summer and that I was in the
Midwest, looking forward to the fair. Also, you had a good sense of the personalities of all of the farm animals especially Wilbur and Charlotte. It was the first time that I actually liked a spider, because I was always scared of them as a child. There have been many books since, but this will always remain one of my favorites.

Lincoln: A Photobiography by Russell Freedman
My favorite Lincoln book is too hard for a fourth grader. Do you like pictures? Russell Freedman takes old pictures of Lincoln, and then tells the story of Lincoln’s life around the picture. Want to watch Abraham Lincoln’s beard grow? Russell Freedman shows you how. The best way to read this book is to find a picture you like, then read about it. This book won the Newbery medal. If you like Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, this is the book for you. Mr. Frerichs.
We have two copies of this book in the Bardonia library. Photo credit: Lincoln Photograph by Matthew Brady, Brady Collection, American Memory, Library of Congress,

Title: Santa Paws on Christmas Island Author: Kris Edwards
This book is about a family who doesn’t spend their Christmas in a snowy place. Instead their Uncle Steve saved Big Jim Jessup from getting hit by a big truck. So they got to go to
Florida and go to Big Jim’s Hotel the Oasis. They get 4 rooms for the kids and 4 for the adults. In chapter # 7, Gregory and Miranda get surfing lessons. Gregory is the only boy, including the teacher, who is a girl. Gregory is embarrassed because he keeps on falling and he isn’t in the water yet. I recommend this book, because it is a good book. If you read it, I guarantee you will like it. This book is a mystery book because in every chapter something kind of bad happens. I enjoyed this book because I love mystery books. You have got to read it!!!!!!!!!

Title: The Homework Machine Author: Dan Gutman
In The Homework Machine there is a boy named Brenton who invented a homework machine. He let three of his friends use it. Then the police found out and now the kids are being questioned. Also one day they went on the Internet and told everyone to wear their clothes backwards and they did it. It was so funny. I would recommend this book to someone who likes funny stories and doesn’t like to do homework.

Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsAuthor: J.K. Rowling
I recommend the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. In the book a boy named Harry Potter goes to a magical school named Hogwarts where a lot of strange things happen there, people are dying. It’s up to Harry to save Hogwarts and the people inside. All he needs to do is to kill the huge snake and save the people in the chamber. But there is another problem. Lord Valomort. I recommend this book because there is a lot of magic and I like magic. Also, there is nonstop action and I like that too.

Title: The Bridges of New York City by Cara A. Sutherland
This book is about all the bridges that are built in New York City. Some of the bridges have decorations all around them. It is also about bridges that open and close for ships. Some of the bridges have gold, silver, copper, and turquoise in them. They are all different shapes.I recommend this book because I could see all the cool features from the top in the pictures. And my favorite solid shape for the top is a pyramid. I could see the point which is at the top of the pyramid.

This book is about a girl whose parents move from California to Pennsylvania. She lives in a house that is freezing cold because the heater does not work. It is always snowing where she lives. The girl who is new is named Kate and the girl who guides her around name is Tiffany, who seems to be bad. It turns out she actually is bad. Kate follows Tiffany into the 1st grade bathroom, and finds out that Tiffany smokes with her friend Madison. Kate gets on a plane alone with out her parents knowing, but her friend Molly is picking her up. Also Molly’s parents don’t know that she is picking Kate up from the airport. Molly’s mom doesn’t know that she is picking Kate. I am recommending this book, because it is really good.
