The book I am doing is called 7 x 9 = Trouble and it is written by Claudia Mills.  This book is a fiction book I love fiction books!  This book is about when Wilson dosen’t know his time tables but everybody in his class does know them. When he hold the class pet he knows his time tables. So he sneaks the pet so he can pass the test but does he ever get caught read the book to find out more.

On the scale 1 – 10, I would rate it a 10 because I learned more on my time tables and it could help you too. I f you could use some help on your time tables this book is just right for you.

Compsognathus is written by Susan H. Gray. This book is a non-fiction book, and the publisher is Robert Squirrel. This book was published in 2008. This book would tell you about the dinosaurs that if the bones are delicate or not, and what it eats.

I have learned some interesting facts from this book. One is this dinosaur is about the height of a chicken. Second is that their bones are so delicate it can break easily. Third is that it only eats insects.

On a scale from 1-10 I would rate this book a 10 because it gives lots of interesting facts and its a great book for you.

Salt

by Robert Francis

Salt for white

And salt for pure.

What’s salted right

Will keep and cure.

Salt for cheap

And salt for free.

The poor may reap

Salt from the sea.

Salt for taste

And salt for wit.

Be wise. Don’t waste

A pinch of it.

This poem came from this book,These Small Stones, by Norma Farber and Myra Cohn Livingston. I chose this poem because it reminded me of small animals like birds and fish. Some times it made me laugh because it had rhyme verses.

I think that Norma Farber and Myra Cohn Livingston chose this poem to show how salt can help you in different ways. Yes I would recite this poem to the class because it would not be so hard.

This book is called The Ghost Witch and is written by Betty Ren Wright.  It’s about a girl who’s so excited to move to a new house.  But when she finds scary animals like dragons, alligators, and snakes then she finds out the house is haunted.   

On the scale of 1-10 I would rate this book a 10 because it is filled with action.The genre of this book is a Mystery book.  If you like mystery books you should read this book.

The Monster in the Third Dresser Drawer is a great book and it’s by Janice Lee Smith it’s about a boy named Adam he doesn’t understand why he has to move. Because he doesn’t want to miss his friend Peter. He won’t have any one to play with until this new baby comes and changes his life.

On the scale of 1-10 I would rate it a 7 because its kind of my type, but you may like it!  Its a Realistic Fiction. You might have fun reading it!
