Little House in the Big Woods

Little House in the  Big Woods is a great book written by Laura Ingals Wilder.  It tells you a lot about the way pioneers lived.  When you take your time with the book it tells you a lot more than you think.  First of all some books about pioneers are not written by pioneers.  This book is written by a pioneer so I say a book written by a pioneer tells you more about pioneers than one that is not.

The main characters in this book are Laura, Mary,Ma, and Pa. This book has very good characterization you get close to the characters and you understand  the way that Laura is feeling. 

The Madeline series

The Madeline series is a children series written by LUDWIG BEMELMANS. I like the sereize but,  I only have four books in the series. These books are for younger kids.  The books are written in poem form. They were a great enjoyment to me when I was a littler kid. They were also some of the first books I read all by myself.  They are some perfect books for begining readers.   

Zombiekins: Interview with J.W.

This book is written by KEVEN BOLGER.  It's about a stuffed animal that is no ordinary stuffed animal.  It's a ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The animal is also turning everyone to zombies.  J.W. likes the book because it has a lots of details it has well written conversation and zombies.  He said it was a great book.

Fancy NANCY series

This book is written by Jane O'Connor.  The series is about a girl who always wants to be the most fancy.  She uses lots of fancy words that the book or a person in the book tells you the meaning of,  which can only help with vocabulary.  They also have a sense of humor in them which makes the books even better.  The books are short and more interesting for smaller kids.

FOLLOW MY LEADER

Follow My Leader is written by James B. Garfield.  The book is about a boy that goes blind and how he conquers being blind.  The reason he became blind is a firecracker went off in his face.  The next thing he knew he was in the hospital.

In the book you actually learn a secret language for the blind.  Yes he does get a dog.  He was waiting for the dog to get back to cub scouts, and at the end of the book the dog does a very cool, interesting,different,  and exiting thing.

Charlotte's Web

The book is written by E.B WHITE (Author of STUART LITTLE).  The book talks about friendship. Wilbur has a lot of friends.  He is always nice, humble, and silly at times. Charlotte is a great friend who always thinks of others before herself.  Templeton is a nasty rat who collects lots of JUNK. I say Wilbur is a little babied  by Fern at the beginning of the story getting taken around in a baby-carriage but, because of all the other great stuff the book talks about I say it is a pretty good book.

 

The Homecoming

The Homecoming's author is Harold Pinter. Sorry to Harold Pinter but I didn't like the book very much. It's about dinosaurs that have come back to Earth after leaving in space ships.  The U.S.A sent a man to meet with them.(I forget the man's name.)  The confusing thing is the dinosaur/aliens have their names.  Then after you become their friends they give you another name and it is really confusing unless you go very super slow.  I say it wasn't the very best book I ever read.

Love That Dog

Love That Dog is a very good book written by Sharen Creech.  It's a book about a boy named Jack who says "Boys don't write poetry. Girls do."  Throughout the whole story the boy is responding to his teacher in the form of poetry.  Since the teacher is teaching her students about poetry it teaches you a lot about it to. I learned how to write poetry wile reading this book.

At first Jack had a little trouble writing poetry until he found something to write about his dog  Sky.  Then he started to write write write.  A lot of the poems Miss. Stretchberry (Jack's teacher) read Jack did not like,like Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and The Pasture.But there were some that Jack really liked such as Love that boy by Walter Dean Myers. Love That Dog is a really great book!!!

                                                                      

About the Bookworm

I'm Beka and I love to read books, but what I find is there are books that I like and books that are not so great.  I usually like to read kids books because I am a kid.  I will always be completely truthful.  I will rate my books by worms five worms being it was the best book ever zero worms being a the worst possible book ever.

I really like fiction, historical fiction, realistic fiction, fantasy, and chose your own adventure books.  Science fiction is my least favorite genre.  My favorite author so far is Tamora Pierce I verrry highly recommend her.  I love books!!!
