Maya Moorthy Guest Blogger: Mr. Popper's Penguins

Dear Elsa,

I like the book Mr. Popper's Penguins. At the end it turns out really funny. It has a real surprise ending. If you like penguins you will love this book.

Julia Kelly Guest Blogger: Frindle

My name is Julia Kelly and I am 8 years old. Thank you for letting me write on your blog. I really love to read. The book Frindle is about a boy who is a sort of troublemaker, and who makes up a new word "Frindle." Everyone starts using it instead of the word "pen." The grammar teacher does not approve of the new word. She would rather use the word Pen. Although the school principal doesn't like it, the boy's parents think it is creative. People start selling t-shirts and pens with the word "Frindle" on them. I recommend the book Frindle because it is creative of a little boy to make up a word like this and the end is a surprise! Andrew Clements also wrote Lost and Found which is another good book. Happy Reading!

Big thanks for Kayleigh for being our first guest blogger!!!!

Dragon Slayer Academy: The New Kid At School Book 1

It is nice because he slayed a dragon using jokes and that was the funny part. There is a girl in it that acts like a boy. Her name is Erica. I liked it because there were knock knock jokes.

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together

All of the stories are different. The one that I really liked was Jack and the Beanstalk. I really liked Jack and the Beanstalk because they were sharing with the giant. Kids should get their parents to take this one out of the library.

Neo Leo The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo di Vinci

Neo Leo The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo di Vinci by Gene Barretta

Leonardo invented the first movie, put the candle in the box and the picture comes out. He might have designed a bicycle. There are old fashioned bicycles in the pictures. He designed a helicopter. I wish I went to his house. I love the part about steam. I think other kids would like this book.

I Vivaldi

I Vivaldi by Janice Shefelman

He can play violin. His mommy wanted him to be a priest. He wanted to be a musician. He played with his dad and orphan girls. This is a good book.
