Charlotte's Web: Would I Want to Be a Pig?

In Charlotte's Web the main character is a pig. I would actually not like being in an old farm.  I would remember when my other owner played with me. Now I would have been sold to an old farm. My owner used to come watch me everyday after school but now she doesn't. I didn't know that I would have to be killed. So I guess I would really hate being a pig like Wilbur. Even though in the end I got saved, I still wouldn't want to be any pig.

                                             

STONE FOX

The book I am going to talk about is "Stone Fox."  It is about a boy named Willy who has a dog named Searchlight. Willy has a grandfather that is really sick. So then Willy participates in a dog race contest because people suggested that it would cure his sick grandfather.  I thought the book was really cool and interesting!! The main character was Willy and I thought he was a good main character!

White Dolphin

This book is about a girl named Kara who was trying to save a dolphin by a trap that a mean guy put on the dolphin!  I loved the story because it's about dolphins and they are some of my favorite animals.  I also like it because I love when people help each other out and that is also why people should read the book!

Danger At the Zoo by Kathleen Ernst

In this book, "Danger at the Zoo" the main character girl named Kit and boy named Will open the zoo gates and unveil a whole lot of danger, when actually the gates are supposed to be kept closed. The reason behind the danger at the zoo is because once the gate is opened by Kit and Will, you can imagine the different kinds of dangerous animals that were let out...and then their adventure and mystery of getting the animals back in the zoo begins.  It's a great book to read because there is mystery and it also sends a message about being responsible and kind towards animals.

WHITE DOLPHIN by Gill Lewis

This book is about a girl named Kara who tries to save a dolphin from a trap that a mean guy put on the dolphin. I like this story because I love dolphins and also love reading books and stories about them. The character Kara is caring by helping the dolphin be free from the trap.  I think people should read this book because the main character Kara is caring and kind to animals and humans.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB

I really loved the book "Charlotte's Web." It's about a pig that is going to be killed and his friends try helping him. I really like that because I love when people work together and try to help people and make them feel better. The worst part was that Charlotte died and I was really sad. That was the worst part of the story but otherwise I loved it. You will like it too.  Just read it and you will know the whole story and find out more!!

Swift Current by Angela Dorsey

Ali carefully walked into the feed shed, then looked up. Nothing. Last week, a bucket on the door had missed her by inches. There also had been other mysterious 'accidents' around the farm. She filled up her horses' feed buckets and then took Daydream, her old mare out onto the trails. As she passed the stalls, she realized that they were empty! Terrified, she rode into the woods, calling the horses' names. Suddenly, she heard noises and darted behind a tree. Peeking out, she saw a golden-haired figure stroking her horses' backs! Suddenly, the figure called out "It's ok. I won't hurt you." They soon engaged in a conversation and Ali discovered someone was trying to hurt her horses! Can golden-haired Angelica help save her horses! I really enjoy this book. I read it five times!

Magic Tree House #19: Tigers at Twilight

In this story, Jack and Annie go to find the third gift to free Teddy, a dog, from a spell.  They go to the forest and face a killer snake and a tiger.  On the way Annie names an elephant and rides on her back with Jack.  I liked this story because it was funny.  The main character in this story is Jack.  If I was transported into this book I would be exited and scared because I like forests, but I am scared of snakes.

The Puppy Place: Goldie

In this story, Charles and his sister Lizzie want a dog.  But their parents say no, until later. Then, one day, Charles' dad brings home a puppy named Goldie.  I liked this story because it was funny.  My favorite part was when Goldie learned how to sit.

Stone Fox Art Project

This is a part of a book named "Stone Fox."  In this picture,Willy is taking care of his grandfather who is very, very sick.

Stone Fox

In this story, a boy named Willy has a dog named Searchlight and a grandfather who is very sick.  Willy entered a dog race that someone suggests will cure his grandfather.  My favorite part of the book was when Willy passed by his grandfather's house when he was sick on the race.  He was all better. The main character in this story is Willy.

The American Paint Horse By David Denniston

The book, "The American Paint Horse" is, well, about American paint horses. It talks about their personalities, colors, heights, histories, and more. This book is really only about these types of horses.  But if you want to be an owner of this type of horse, you should not read this book. It does not talk deeply of care and responsibility for horses. There are many facts like: "Did you know that Paint horses can run the distance of three football fields in less than 20 seconds!" Also, this book relates to Social Studies too! Hernan Cortes brought a spotted horse to North America and it mated with other horses.  Now this horse is called the paint horse we have today.

I would recommend this to people who like horses (like Huda).

Warriors into the Wild by Erin Hunter

The book "Warriors into the Wild" is about a cat named Rusty. He lives with Twolegs. That’s what the generation of four clans call cat owners (So if you own a cat that’s what you are). Rusty has dreams about the wild. One day he has a dream about catching a mouse. He goes out into the forest and encounters a ThunderClan apprentice, Graypaw. He fights him and he wins. But, just then, Bluestar and Lionheart  (Bluestar is the leader of their clan and Lionheart is a warrior) arrive and give Rusty an offer. It is... if he wants to join their clan. Rusty’s life changes complete when he accepts. Everyone in ThunderClan is in grave danger, in fact all the Clans are. No one thinks an ordinary house cat like Rusty would change anything. But…. he may not be just some ordinary cat; he might turn out to be the bravest of all…… dan dan daaa. Can’t tell anymore:)

This is an awesome book! I would recommend this book to anyone, especially people who like cats. This has to be one of my all-time favorite books. I am itching to read the next one, "Fire and Ice."  It is sooooo good. Read it.

The climax is awesome.
