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.

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.

I mostly read with hard copy books but I know some people might read ebooks or have a kindle. When I do read a book online I listen to an audio book. That is still not really reading, though. I do read some ebooks, though. I read "Because of Winn Dixie" electronically. The internet has gotten so powerful it even has books?!?!?!?

DUE! Getting book from the library is a great way to get books. What if someone just kept a book though? That is where renewing books comes in handy. When you renew a book from the library, you get it for another couple of weeks. In my school library, you can only renew it once. If you renew it you only have a total of two weeks to finish your book which sounds fine but it is hard to finish very long books. Today I have a quick story about only having two weeks. I had renewed my book, and I was doing the math of how much longer I would have it. I realized I only had a week. I was not that close to the end of the book either. Two days before it was due I still had seventy pages to go. I was worried I would not make the deadline. Seventy pages is not as bad as it sounds, though. I finished the book on the last day I possibly could. It was a close call, but that did not ruin how good the book was. On the Shores of Silver Lake This book is amazing! It is mainly about a family in the time period of pioneering. This is one of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books about the Ingalls' family. They go out west to a place where a town is soon to be built. Pa had gotten a job there. The only problem was they needed to find homestead. Pa was not worried about that though. Mr. Boast is a close friend of theirs and he reminds Pa of the Spring Rush. Not even this comment would be able to get to Pa's head. When the Spring Rush does arrive, it worries Pa. Their are so many men coming to claim their land! He stops procrastinating and files their homestead. Pa wants to continue west but Ma wants to be completely settled. Which parent gets their way? If you are curious if they go on another adventure or they stay in the peace read the book. The picture above is three people in a library. This has to do with my "Due."

My First Visit! Hello! I just went on a trip to Colorado. It had been years since Winter Park had a bookstore but someone came in and fixed that. Miriam Roskam loves books. She hated that she had to drive hours just to go to a bookstore. Therefore, she opened a bookstore of her own. Her bookstore is called Mountain Shire Books and Gifts! It is a tiny, little place but has tons of books! My mom got the very book her book club was reading without even looking for it! ( It is called School for Good Mothers.) If you go try and find Mountain Shire Books and Gifts, it is in Cooper Creek Square. You should keep in mind that the bookstore is on the second story. Again, it is in Winter Park. Here are some nice facts about it. It has a cute patio. In the children's section I found a lot of books I like and other kids my age like: Diary of a Wimpy kid, Dog Man, and Harry Potter. It opened during COVID. They also have cute gifts (pins, magnets, and water bottle stickers) By the Shores of Silver Lake While we are talking about bookstores and libraries, I would like to give a shout out to my school librarian. I got a book from our school library this week (wait, I actually renewed it) and it is such a good book! It is from one of my favorite series. It is a classic. It is... Little House By the Shores of Silver Lake. The series is Little House. There is lots of action, yet none at all. It is calm and sincere, yet dramatic and suspenseful. The Ingalls family is moving west again! Pa really wants to find homestead there. Then when the town gets built Laura can go to school. Ma wants Laura to go to get education along with the rest of her daughters. Mary got scarlet fever and is now blind. Laura has to see with her words for Mary now. Pa finds a job out west and everything is going right.....until it is not. One night Laura and Carrie encounter a buffalo wolf. You will remember from earlier in the book Pa saying "I'd hate to meet one without a gun." What happens? Poor Carrie! Poor Laura! I suggest you go read the book to make sure there alive.

Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono is a book that was also turned into a Japanese animated fantasy film. Kiki is a young witch in search of a place to live but instead ends up searching for her purpose in life; helping others. See in Kiki's world as a young witch is "Coming of Age" they would have to leave their parents house and go to another town. Not only does Kiki have to stop relying on her parents but she has to find a way to make it in the world. She does this by making her own business. This business has to help people with her magical abilities, in Kiki's case this is flying. At first it was hard to find a good city! Once, she found a perfect city but there was already a witch living there. (The rule is one witch per city.) She finally finds a town by the ocean. It was a big town. The town did not trust her. She had to gain their trust. Witches gain trust by helping their community. What could Kiki do to gain their trust? She only had her mother's broom and her cat, Jiji. Her work began when a woman named Osono wanted to deliver a pacifier to a baby but had to walk the whole way. Kiki offered to help and flew it there quickly. That started her whole career. In the book it describes many of her different deliveries and the adventures those took her on. This sweet book was very good and I am looking foward to watching the movie. I am only telling you a bit of the story. For more details I recommend you read the book!

I just started reading this book. My friend suggested that I read it. It is her absolute favorite book! There are a lot of different versions of this book. The version I am reading is by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This famous story is written in a nice way. This story is about a young girl, Mary Lennox. Mary was brought to a huge house and has to adjust to a new life. This house is big but so many doors are shut. There are plenty of secrets hiding in this house and Mary is determined to find some answers. Mary finds a secret garden and for once she is not so "contrary." She finds friends, entertainment, and secrets. Of course I have not finished this big book. Therefore, this is not the whole story. I do know I am loving the book, though. I highly reccomend reading this brilliant book. Mary Lennox is facsinating (even if she is a fictional character). If you have any questions you should read this great book!

School has started up again so I will be checking in only on Sundays maybe Saturday. But without further ado I bring you "The House That Wasn't There" Now before I tell you about this book you need to know that when I BLOW through a book that means I'm loving the book. Some of you may do the same thing and I am BLOWING through this book. It is one of those books that every chapter they switch on and off characters although it is not the characters point of view. It is just spotlighted on that character. The 2 main characters are Alder and Oak. They are next door neighbors. And they have sibling cats that love to be together but Alder and Oak do not like to be together. I definitely think you should read this no matter your age. If you have the same taste as me.

I do not usually read biographies or even nonfiction, but the Who Was Series, introduces biographies to children. I like them because they are full of information but are not too boring. Previously, I have read a few books from Who Was Series including, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Alexander Hamilton, and Martin Luther King Jr. I have also watched every episode of the Who Was Show on Netflix, these are also filled with interesting facts and are also hilarious. I am now reading Who is Bill Gates by Patricia Brennan Demuth and illustrated by Ted Hummond. Bill Gates, and his buddy Paul Allen founded a company that focused on software. They decided to call it "Microsoft." Some of you may use Microsoft. Bill came up with "Windows" operating systems, which changed how people use computers. At the start I did not think I would be that interested in Bill Gates. Though since I use a computer almost everyday and because he was the first to think one day everyone would have a computer, it turns out that I am not just interested - I am thankful! Like many of the Who Was books this book is written in a way that makes you want to read more! If you are curious about Bill Gates or learning more about many people throughout history you should read the a Who Was book! Fun Facts about Bill Gates! Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington. Bill Gates loved computers as soon as he saw them. Bill Gates had to pay for computer time at their school. There is probably way more about Bill Gates that is still out there. I have not finished this book yet and I am excited to learn more about Bill Gates while finishing this book.

This week visited Seattle! While visiting, I decided to go to The Seattle Public Library. This library is huge and architecturally significant. Level one contains the Children's Center. Aside from books, the Children's Center has beautiful sculptures and art. The big, blue ox in the Children's Center represents the folktale of Babe the Blue Ox. There are other beautiful creations, too. An example of one is a paper mache monster from Where the Wild Things Are ( that book is a great book to read to your young ones). The Children's Center is big, too! I had read many of the books that they displayed. The library was beautiful! I think you should visit ( and while you are at it see the space needle) this great library! You could probably find any book in there. I like the Children's Center by the chapter books. What about you? `

This week I am reading a book by Andrew Clements. He is the author of bestseller Friendle. My teacher read Friendle to my whole class and I've been meaning to read another book by Andrew Clements. I am only to chapter four so the book might change. However, I know the following. Greg is a young boy that has a talent for almost everything. He is most skilled with money though. He loves to stack his coins and count his money. Greg soon found ways to start making money around the house. After that he found ways to make money... everywhere! One day at school Greg was missing a quarter for school lunch. His teacher asked if anyone had a spare. A lot of hands went up. Greg did some calculations and realized that school was the perfect place to make money. I have gotten a bit farther than that, but I do not want to spoil anything else. I promise you the "anything else," is fantastic, though. The whole book- everything I have read at least- is really good. If you are wondering about "anything else," I recommend you read the book.

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 do you read chapter books. I understand that in your free time (if you are even reading) you would want to read your current book. If you are looking for a message or an inspiration you may want to check picture books. For example, soon my family is going to Europe. We have been reading picture books that are set in where we are going. While rereading many cute picture books in the past week, I realized that picture books are not for just babies and toddlers. They are for everyone. That is really similar to something the librarian said ( in my first interview ) " Picture books are for everybody to share." If you are questioning whether that is true or not - I think you should read a picture book! Picture books are special and can bring you to a new world. Maybe a world like this one.
