Books, Books, and More Books

At the school I go to, once you are in 8th grade and have good enough grades, you have the opportunity to have one of your electives inside a little kid's classroom (we are a K-8 school, so some of them are REALLY little). I'm a TA (teacher assistant) in a 4th-grade classroom, and I love it. A few days ago, one of the kids came up to me and said, "Here's a gift." It was an adorable little picture book. I read it and gave it back to him. Granted, it was a cute book, but my fam

Sorry I haven't posted in a month ( and for doing the Halloween post late). I'm trying to get through a 500 page book so I can blog about it. Until then I can't blog about that specific book but I can tell you about a book that every night before Halloween my mom, my sister, and I read together. It's called Space Case! Every Halloween we gather around to look at the pictures in Space Case. Yes, this is a children's picture book. This means if you have younger kids this would

As we are digging deeper and deeper into the holiday season I thought it would be nice to do some Christmas books. The book I will be talking about has been made into three different movies because it was such a hit! I've always loved this specific book because of its moral. I am also a huge fan of rhyming! The book is How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The book was made by Dr. Suess who has also made The Cat and the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and Green Eg

With Thanksgiving coming up ( or even just on a daily basis ) we all should observe things that we are thankful for. Of course, I'm very grateful for books. At the moment, I love Anne of Green Gables. The ability to blog also gives me so much joy, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to blog. Those are some things I am appreciative for. In a picture book called the "Thankful Book," the author lists all kinds of things you can be thankful for. This book is by Todd Parr an

I am constantly reading books. I am still reading Harry Potter, but one thing you may not know is that every night before bedtime, my mom reads me a chapter (or a few!) of a book. Usually we read chapter books, but occasionally, she reads me picture books. Currently, she is reading me The One and Only Ivan. So far, the book is sad. It is about a silverback-an adult male gorilla- that lives in a mall for a circus. In the book the gorilla- Ivan- expresses himself. He talks a

Dedicated to my dad I was visiting a bookstore called Bookmans. Bookmans sells used books. I was looking for a book about dads. I came across a picture book called "Night Shift Daddy". It is adorable! It shows a dad who puts his daughter to bed, goes to work and then in the morning the child puts her dad to bed. The book is mainly about the limited time they spend together and how they make the most of it. I loved this book so much. You can see how much they love each oth

Dedicated to my amazing mom. My blog tells mostly about the amazing children's books there are out there. Not everyone reading this is a child though. I know there are adults reading this. For all the moms out there, Happy Mothers Day! There are so many books that I could mention. I will only talk about five books. The books will be: "Here Comes Grandma," "How to Babysit a Grandma," "The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes," "Mother Bruce," and finally, "The Way Mothers

Here and there it is always nice to read a short little picture book. There are many authors to choose from. There will be authors ranging from Mo Willams to Eric Carl. Mo Willams is the author of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" and the "Elephant and Piggie Books." Eric Carl is author of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." There are plenty of other authors. I probably could go on and on about authors, but I must move on because there is more to say. The question is: When d

The first thing I want to do is to tell you "Hello," but the second thing I want to say is that what I said last time (about me not giving you a summary of six books) is partially false. You see, the book is divided into seven sections. Each part contains a different story. One of the little stories is "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar." Each of them are short stories. I do not think any of the stories connect, but maybe they do and it will be pointed out at the end. If I

The first thing I would like to clear up is that I am not giving you a summary of Henry Sugar and multiple summaries of six other books. It's title is really The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More. Now that we are all clear on that, let us jump into this miraculous book. I am still unsure on where this book is going but often times you can look on the back of the book and it gives you a summary. Before I read it, I looked on the back of the book to make sure it woul

DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD Hello! Let us just hop right back into books. Last week we discussed Danny the Champion of the World. Danny learns a secret from his dad, as you learned last week. This secret pulls him into a crazy adventure. The adventure comes with the creative process and changing the way of doing the secret. Danny does it. It scares him. His dad says "That is the fun of it!" In my opinion, with all the books I have read, I am not sure Danny feels comf

DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD I have not gotten very far into this book. Danny's father has a secret that he has been hiding for years. One night Danny wakes up and his dad is not home. He looks all around, but his dad is nowhere to be found. He waits on the steps of the caravan that they live in. Who knows how long he was there? When Danny's dad gets home, Danny has tons of questions. His father respects that he has questions. His father reveals his deep dark secret and a

Who Was Kamala Harris Kamala was the FIRST at a lot of things. Kamala was the FIRST person of color and the FIRST female to become the vice president. Interestingly, she did not pass her FIRST bar exam. She took another one. Then, Kamala Harris passed the exam! Then she served as a district attorney. Soon after that she became a senator. What does this strong woman influence you to do? What does she mean to you? "Who Was Kamala Harris" is full of detail. You can really

Sorry I have not been posting. I've been on vacation with no WiFi. By the way shout out to Erin with the first comment it was so sweet and nice. Anyways here is a book to read to your kids before bed. "Time for Bed Miyuki" is about a young girl who now has to go to bed and has so much more to do. I can imagine that a lot of kids can relate to this. Days fly by very quickly. The wording that the author uses is nice and the illustrations in this book are beautiful, too.

Today I will be writing another list . This will be a list on my favorite authors. Sorry that I have not checked in, for a while I have had busy days at camp. On my first list I think I said I will mostly be doing lists but I do not think that will be true. Once the summer is over I will only be blogging weekly. Right now I am blogging whenever I can. So now that you have the scoop. Introducing my top 5 favorite authors. Wait should I go backwards? I think I should. Okay.

Morning! To day I will be blogging about early readers. My sister is actually a beginner, too. Now the kind I am talking about is that they know how to read just are unsecure on some words. Take for example the sentence "My dog ate the grass weirdly," they could slowly read it but need help on "weirdly." Now do you understand the level we are talking about? Good. Book of recommendation: Piggie and Gerald! Written by Mo Willams DESCRIPTION Great Friends Hilarious Kind Early

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle can basically solve any problem a child has. Won't eat dinner she can solve that. Not cleaning up a kids room she can solve that. If she can't solve the problem nobody can. Although this is not something you can do in reality the book is funny. So let's explore her techniques.
