Eyewitness Book: Dog

Eyewitness Book: Dog is written by Juliet Clutton-Brock. Dog is an informational book as I think you have guessed already and it is about dogs as you should have guessed. The book takes you through all of the stages of the development of the first dogs and puppy hood training and adult hood of your dog and it has sections about different categorize of dog. It is an all around good book about dogs but if you want to learn about specific breeds of dog or about certain stages of dogs or their development you probably do not want this book.

My Teacher is an Alien

My teacher is an Alien is written by Bruce Conville. My teacher is an alien is about a teacher who does not come back from spring break and they get a very weird sub. A girl, Susan, follows him home and discovers that he is an alien.Her friend, Peter, and she went into the alien's house to find evidence that he is an alien. They do find evedens, but I am not going to tell you what it is. They work hard to stop the alien. Do you think they prevail.

It is a great story and it has wonderful vocabulary such as grudgingly and philistine. It is fantastic because it has three books in the same series that talk about basically the same subject. I have not read them, but I hope to read and review them soon.

The Trouble with Tuck

The trouble with tuck is written by Theodore Taylor.  The Trouble with Tuck is a great book about a girl and her dog.  Her dog goes blind when it is only four and the girl tried  to do every thing she could do to help her dog.  She did do everything and anything for that dog but nothing worked.  This is a suspenseful story of a dog, a girl, friendship and trust.  A wonderful saga of what people do for friends.

Brians Winter

Brian's winter is written by Gary Paulson. This book is a companyon book to hatchet. Fans kept saying well what if Brian wasn't rescued before winter. So this book talks about what might have happend if he wasn't rescued. Brian is improving. He learned to make stone arow heads, Kill big game and do many other things.  The thing I really like is it doesn't talk all about the devors and stuff.

Winnie the horse gentler: Book 1 wild thing/Book 2 Eager Star

Wild thing is written by Dandi Mackall.  This book is about a 12 year old girl who loves horses and who finds one Arabian that takes her heart.  She is willing to do anything to have that horse.  This book also talks about having a good relationship with god so if you do not believe in god this is probably not the book for you.This is a great book that talks about horses hard work and many other things.

The second book Eager Star is about Winnie the girl trying to get a reputation.  People are paying her to train there horses but its still not quite there yet.  In the book Winnie learns a lot about paying moor attention to all the steps (not just to getting a reputation but to everything) and only paying attention to the finish line.

The Wanderer

The Wanderer is written by Sharon Creech.  The book is about a girl that is an orfan and is going to visit her new Grandpa or Bompie for the first time.  She went with three of her uncles and two of her cosins.  To get to Bombie they had to sail across the ocean from America to England.  The cool thing is that she is writing down what they do and then in the next chapter it would be her cosin writing.  The confusing part is that somtime they say inthe sailer talk you tred this through that and through this... and it gets a little confusing.  Not the greatest book to read to little kids because somtimes it's boring.

MISS HICKORY

Miss Hickory is written by Carolyn Sherwin Baily.  This book is great!  It has wonderful pictures in black orange and white.  Fitting perfectly with the description.  Miss Hickory is a toy who is left behind.  She has to rely on great friend like wise crow to help her until she finds her happy place.  She has lots of friends other than crow and they all helped her at one time or another and they helped her get to a wonderful place.  That just shows how much friendship can do.
