The characters are Elizabeth and her parents.  So the story was about Elizabeth wanting to get a pet. So she bugged her parents. Every pet she wanted they said "Nope!"

A Chocolate Moose For Dinner

A Chocolate Moose For Dinner By: Fred Gwynne

Reviewed By: Charlotte Grade: 5

This book is about lots of different sayings. And the girl in the story puts it in a different way than the words really mean.  This is a good book because of the pictures. They help to tell the story and they are super hilarious. I think that everyone all ages will like it.   My favorite saying is "Mommy is going to tell me about Santa Claws"  Santa in the picture has disgusting claws on his hands and feet.

This book is about a doughnut. Arnie is his name.  One day he got bought. The man who bought him is Mr. Bing.  Arnie becomes Mr. Bing's dog. I liked the part in the book where Arnie gets sprinkled ("Caution Sprinkle area must wear goggles") I liked when he tried to talk to the apple fritter.  I also likedd when Mr. Bing tried to eat him. I really loved this book.

The Spider and the Fly

 

The Spider and the Fly By:  Mary Howitt Illustrated By: Tony DiTerlizzi

Reviewed By: Jessica Grade: 3


The main characters are Spider and Fly.  The spider meets the fly on the road. He invited her to his hole. The parents tell her that you will get eaten. But she did not listen. He took her to dinner. Then he was still nice to her. Spider said shy would like this dinner but Fly thought it was not goo. If you want to find out the rest you will have to read it.  I like the pictures in the book because you could see what was happening in the book without reading the words.  It was just a good book to read. It would be good to read to a class, but they should be an older class.

The main idea of this book is that Bobby loses his brain and everyone is trying to find it.  He does weird things when he loses his brain. Then when he gets his brain back he wears a football hat so his brain dos not go missing again. I did not enjoy the book. I loved it! The art was wonderful and the silly words were great.
