Example book review written by Maya, 4th grader: "The War That Saved My Life"

Ada is just a girl that lives in London with a clubfoot. But is it really necessary for her mother to lock her in the sink cabinet with a bunch of bugs? Her mother never lets her out of their flat because of her clubfoot. One day, Jamie comes home and says there is a war and children are heading out to the country until it is safe enough to head back home. Ma would let Jamie but not Ada. How will she get away?

I loved this book because of the adventures and struggles Ada and Jamie had to go through.

Record Breakers by Richard J. Brenner is about four Football quarter backs and their life stories and how they got to the NFL. It is also about how they have all made it to the super bowl. A strength of the book is that it is about people I know. A weakness is it is about some people I do not like or their teams they played on. Another thing I liked about it was you got to read about players that still play and old players. My name was in the book, because one of players dads was named, Archie.

Continued Record Breakers by Richard J. Brenner.This guy name Peyton Manning wanted to be just like his dad Archie and wanted to go to the NFL his team mates did not like him because he was not a good quarter back. I liked in the end they made it to super bowl and beat the Patriots.One thing I know he was born March 24 1976.he went to Tennessee for college and played football.He has three brothers. I liked that he made it to the NFL. The thing I did not like was his teammates did not like him. I liked that he was a record breaker.

Continued Record Breakers by Richard J. Brenner Aaron Rodgers was born in December 12 1983 when he grew up he wanted to play on the 49ers he played on cal bears football when he got drafted Brett Favre did not want to play again but then wanted back in but they said no and got traded. he went to the Packers at first he was not playing so well but on the next game they made it to the super bowl they clobbered the bears and and then Colin Kaepernick was better than Aaron. A strength is that Aaron Rodgers is my favorite quarter back and I love that he made it to the super bowl. a thing I liked was that Brett Favre got traded.

seekers into the wild is about Kalik,Lusa,Tolko they are all cubs but each of their lives were different but some has slimier things. Kalliks life is about trying to get to they never ending ice trying to find her brother. Lusas life is she never got to see the wild shes trying to figure out how. tolko he got lost and trying to get somewhere. some things i did not like about this book was each chapter was about different bear and it was really confusing. The good things were it all really came together at the end and it was amazing. I think this book is fantasy because it has talking bears like when lusa said hi tolko. Another reason i thing it is fantasy is because bears are changing into thing like eagels when tolkos friend got scared and turend into a eagle. The last reason i think it is fantasy because the bears can jump way higher then any other bear could jump like when one bear jumped out of the cage.

Book review #4
As Greg enters the new school year, he is eager to put the past three months behind him and one event in particular because he accidentally entered the girls restroom at the mall. However, his older brother, Rodrick knew all about the incident. Greg tried not to let it out, but Rodrick told all of his friends and his friends told their siblings. Unfortunately, Greg’s friends knew all about the incident. At school, some of his friends congratulated him for entering the girls locker room. Greg did not know how the incident had changed, but he did not want to tell that he actually entered the girls restroom.

I like this book because it is funny with the full of action. I think keeping a secret is important because it easily spreads from person to person and often change differently.

#1 Cloudy With a Chance of Boys by Megan McDonald

Three sisters and two...BOYS?! First kisses are easy for the wrong girls and hard for the right girls. A story of Joey, Stevie, Alex, wishes, and kisses is all they need to make it happen. There is an amazing story and several great plot twists. I understood the emotions and feelings of the characters.

#2 Every Thing On It by Shel Silverstein

This book book is a mix of crazy and whimsical poetry.
The rhyming is excellent. The word choices and ideas are brilliant. When you read it out-loud it is fun to say.
When you read most of the poems you need to read it several times (which I like) before you understand it.

#3 Ramona's World by Beverly Cleary

Ramona is a fourth-grade girl. A new best friend means... FALLING THROUGH THE CELING?! And it’s someone’s birthday. A spelling bonanza and more, it’s sure a ride when Ramona’s around. It is a fantastic book. When something happens, it is down to the last amazing detail. You will never want the book to end when it comes to Beverly Cleary. When I read it, I felt like I was right there, in the middle of all the action. When Ramona fell, I felt like I could feel the scratches on my legs. I could relate to some of the feelings and emotions.

Book review #6
This book tells about military drones and civilian drones.For example, in the military drones, there are the MQ1 predator
and the MQ9 reaper. In the civilian drones, there are the Scout and the precision hawk. All of these drones have different technics and characteristics.The military drones have missiles and cannons.The civilian drones work for companies like NASA and underwater research teams.
From this book, I learned that drones can be used in many different ways. I liked this book because it has so many facts about drones.

Book 1 - Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

Oliver Twist is a boy whose mother died in birth and the boy goes through a lot of tough stuff. A robber tries to hire him but he refuses. The book was good and well written. A weakness is that it has a ton of violence in the book but it was a good book.

Book 3 - Saving Winslow by Sharon Creech

This book is about a kid who had trouble handling small animals that had either got lost, died, or ran away. He finds a donkey, names him Winslow, and he challenges himself to keep it alive. A strength of this book was reading about his friend that was really funny. I thought it was a good book because he really cared about the animals and he wants them to live.

Ms. Dinh

10/7/2019 09:35:14 am

Rattlers and other snakes by a Scott Fetzer Company

I learned from this book about rattle snakes and other snakes. A rattlesnake is a type of snake that rattles and is poisonous. The rattlesnake has a unique way of rattling. It uses its tail rings to create rattling sound when they shake together. Among the other snakes, there are poisonous and unpoisonous snakes. Poisonous snakes use poison to kill prey as well as protect themselves. The unpoisonous snakes squeeze the prey to kill them, and also play dead to protect themselves. For example, Copperheads and Cobras use their poison to kill prey, but the Anaconda and the Hognose snake squeeze to kill their prey.

I learned about how all snakes have different hunting techniques.

Warriors: Into The Wild

By Erin Hunter

A house cat named Rusty explores out of his yard and meets Graypaw and a leader named Bluestar. Rusty gets invited to join ThunderClan and is then named Firepaw.

The detail is amazing. If something happens I can almost feel it. When a cat is stalking in the under-growth, I can't stop reading. I would highly recommend this book!

Who was Fidel Castro? by Sarah Fabiny

Fidel Castro was a sports-loving boy who grew up to be a lawyer and the leader of a revolution in Cuba. To me it felt like he had a good cause but becoming the leader of Cuba got the best of him and he had too much power. The book is easy to understand. It also has good text. When something happened in the book, I felt like I was there.

I survived by Lauren Tarshis

John moved to North Dakota, and he faced a big problem. When John was in school with his friends Rex, Seven, and Peter, they suddenly saw big blackish grey cloud heading straight for their school. John and his friends ran to the school building, but it was no use because the roof came off. Some people came to help by getting their horses to pull sleds to escape from the blizzard, but John’s sled got tipped over. John and his friends tried to go to the rickety farm to stay safe. But then, they went inside a big haystack instead, because rickety farm was destroyed. John tried to stay awake with his friends, but they just all fell asleep. While they were asleep, the blizzard stopped and their mothers came to look for them. John and his friends were finally rescued.
This story is based on an actual event in American history. I enjoyed this book because it was a terrifying event, but they did not fail rather succeeded.

Pumpkin’s story by Aubre Andrus

Pumpkin is a miniature horse with dwarfism. When pumpkin was born, something was wrong with her legs. It hurt pumpkin to walk or even stand. Luckily, pumpkin and her mother were rescued by the twist of fate farm and sanctuary. She had to face difficulties like shots, surgery for her joints, and anesthesia. A horse named Cumber had the same problem as pumpkin. Her joints could not hold up her legs. Ashley and the doctors never gave up to treat Pumpkin’s and Cumber’s legs. Finally, one day pumpkin’s legs and cumber’s legs were fixed because the cast helped the joints collide together. I was impressed that Ashley and the doctors never gave up to help pumpkin and cumber walk. I could feel how much they loved pumpkin and cumber.

Hammer heads and other sharks by the Scott fetzer company

This book tells about how sharks are unique in many different ways. For example, hammerhead sharks use a thing called electroreception. It is where these sharks sense electricity from the ground to find things like sting rays and torpedo rays. Also, some sharks are harmless to people like the whale shark and basking shark because they only eat plankton. I learned how sharks can be unique in many different ways.

Knights vs dinosaurs by Mat Phelan

This is a story about 6 knights going to fight terrible lizards from the order of Merlin. The first lizard was easy to fight because it was small. However, their main mission was to find the T. rex A.K.A the king of dinosaurs. They fought many other dinosaurs like the spinosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaures, brachiosaurus, and the platurus. This experience gave the knights practice to fight the T. rex. They finally met the T. rex, but they could not defeat the T. rex. The six knights did not give up and worked out a scheme. They surrounded the T. rex with wood then lit it on fire. So, they successfully defeated the T. rex. I liked this book because the knights never gave up and defeated the T. rex successfully.
