The Brain

The Brain
by Michaela Kass


The Brain is a book, well about the brain. It tells you how your brain is really you because it controls your arms, legs, fingers, toes and ears. It shows what the brain helps you with. The brain can help you by holding messages inside it. My favorite part was the gooey deailed picture of the brain. You should read this because it has awesome, sweet and gross pictures.

Stuart Little

Stuart Little is a wonderful book about a mouse who lives with a human family. Stuart lives with George Little, Mrs. Little, Mr. Little and a not-very-nice cat named Snowbell. Stuart has many adventures, including getting stuck in a window shade, being trapped in a refrigerator for a half hour and getting a bad cold afterward and best of all, witnessing the arrival of his soon-to-be best friend, a bird named Margalo. Snowbell soon makes a horrible plan to get rid of both Stuart and Margalo, which makes Margalo do something that not even Stuart knows about. Now Stuart is the one that has to get everything back to Normal. Stuart Little is written by E.B. White, who also wrote Charlotte’s Web, a Newbery Honor book.

The Outsiders


The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, is a book about a group of older boys.
It’s the kind of book that is Greasers vs. Socs (gang vs. gang). It’s more of a boy book but girls would enjoy it too. It’s about a boy named Ponyboy who has an easy, laid back life. Soon problems are flung his way and he and his friends and family have to deal with them. This is a book I suggest you read with an adult. I loved this book and I hope you will too.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Do you love books written by an author with a sense of humor? If you do, then then you should try the series of books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket.

For example, whenever Sunny, a character in the book,(she is a baby) says something like “goo” he translates. And usually, it’s something you wouldn’t expect a baby to say. Something very detailed. These books are so funny!

Toys Go Out


I have always enjoyed stories about talking toys. This book, Toys Go Out by Emily Jenkins, is an excellent example of the talking toy genre. In this story, a girl’s favorite toys have adventures, argue, worry, get lost and found, and generally live their toy lives. The three main characters (a stingray, a buffalo and a mysterious toy named Plastic) have distinct and loveable personalities. Lumphy the buffalo gets sick to his stomach when he is jostled around too much. Plastic has an identity crisis when he can’t find other plastics in the encyclopedia. And StingRay is certain she is the little girl’s favorite -- until she is left behind during a trip to the beach. She attempts to prove she can swim by submerging herself in the bathtub (despite her “dry clean only” tag). At its heart, this is a story about friendship and belonging. In addition to being a fun, gentle read-aloud, Toys Go Out will appeal to a wide range of independent readers as well.
