Spiderwick Chronicles!

Book: Spiderwick Chronicles - The Field Guide.

It is very good. I liked reading it because it takes me to a new world. I love all the characters in it. It is so fun reading it. And I wish I could be in the book doing all these cool things with them. When I look at the pictures they are very good. Because when I look at the pictures, the people kind of look real. I like that Simon keeps all these cool pets. But my favorite are Jeffrey and Lemondrop. They are the mice. I like the Bogart. I like when Jared reads the book about the faries and the brownies and the troll. It is so fun. I like when they made a new house for Bogart. I liked when Jared and Simon went into the dumb waiter. The end.

One book I like is Curious George and the Firehouse Dog. It is about a monkey named George who gets in trouble at the firehouse station. I like this book because I like Curious George and it has good pictures.

One book I like is Finding the Titanic. It is about a boat that sinks and some explorers go in a submarine and try to find it. I like this book because it's interesting.

One of Miss Laurie's Favorite Summer Reads


I loved Diane Stanley's The Mysterious Case of the Allbright Academy. Fran and her siblings are given scholarships to the Allbright Academy, a "practically perfect" private school. But maybe things aren't perfect after all...can Fran and her new friends solve the mystery? If you liked The Mysterious Benedict Society, I think you'll like this one.

Two Favorites

Two books I liked were Nicki and Thanks to Nicki. They are about a girl who is afraid to say no. One morning her mom asks her if she could train and take care of a leader dog because her Mom is having a baby and can't. Nicki can' t say no. In the end Nicki learns how to say no. When it was time to give the dog away Nicki was sad. Those are two books I liked.
