Little Quack's Hide and Seek by Lauren Thompson. It's about the mamma duck counting for a hide and seek game. Little Quack couldnt find a hiding spot so he hid behind his mom. I like this book because I like to play hide and seek too!

David Gets in Trouble by David Shannon. This book is about David getting in trouble but he does not want to take the blame. In the end he says sorry. This book is good because it's funny!

Spy Picks from Clark


Adam Sharp series by George Edward Stanley. I like these books because they are about a spy. He is a kid that is 8 years old. He goes on secret missions. He has 2 doors to his bedroom and one is a trapdoor! I wish I were a secret agent like he is, too.


Spyology by Spencer Blake. I like this book because it is about spies. There are a lot of things that you can do in it. You can take parts out and use them to find clues. There are also funny glsses and lots of secrets in it.

Peter and the Starcatchers is one of the best books I've ever read. Peter and his friends have many fun and exciting adventures. Black Stache (captain of the Sea Devil) is trying to steal treasure from the Wasp (another ship), but the treasure is really aboard the Never Land, the ship Peter and his friends are on. If you are looking for a great chapter book to read, check out Peter and the Starcatchers, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson!

Otherwise Known As Sheila The Great. By: Judy Blume.

This is a book that is pretty special. Known to all, this book is special to me because I am kind of like Shelia.This book is about a girl that lives in the city and is spending the summer in Tarrytown, New York. In a house where there are three boys rooms, howling dogs, and spiders. When Shelia's mother signs her up for private swimming lessons, Shelia thinks her summer can't get any worse. Then Shelia makes some friends and starts a really cool day camp where she and her new friend Mouse Ellis can learn pottery and discover and exciting secret about the pottery teacher. I could not put this book down because it was so funny and exciting! I read this book for hours. Over and over again! Now it is one of my favorite books and sits on my bookshelf today.


The Fish In Room 11 By: Heather Dyer. Toby is a boy who lives on a hotel because of being abandoned when he was a baby. His life was not exciting until he is sent down to the beach to look for the hotel cook's lost laundry. There he finds a mermaid named Eliza Flot. She needs his help. Toby soon meets her noisy parents and practically becomes part of the family!I could not put this book down because it was so crazy! Lots of things happened at once and it was so very funny! I love this book and have given it to so many friends. I get a lot of great comments!

The Danny books by Mia Coulton. I think they're funny. They help me learn to read. Bee and Danny do safety rules and have adventures. What I think is funny about them is there is a real dog that wears costumes in the pictures!



Grampa Spanielson stories by Denys Cazet. They're super FUNNY! Grampa Spanielson tells his grandson stories that get Grampa in trouble with Grandma Spanielson. I wish there were more than three stories!
