September 27, 2012 By KK Leave a Comment

Title: Baffle That Bully
Author: Chase Anichini
Ages: All

The book, is a book about anti-bullying. It is non-fiction, and anyone who is having bullying troubles at school should really get this book. it explains all about bullying, and ways for you to avoid it. It explains a game called “baffle that bully,” where you can confuse the bully. It also talks about breathing treatments you can do, and ways for you not to freak out when somebody bullies you.

If you aren’t bullied, this would still be a great book in case you ever get bullied.

I personally am very good friends with the authors, and I have to say myself, they did a great job. There are great illustrations, and it’s an over-all great book. So if you have a Kindle and want to be prepared in the case of bullying, go download this book!

Review: Off to Class

March 20, 2012 By Dandelion 1 Comment

Book: Off to Class: Incredible and Unusual Schools Around the World
Author: Off to Class
Ages: 6-13
Best For: Boys and Girls
Favorite School: Rainforest School

This book teaches you that schools all around the world are very interesting. They are very different from the schools we have here in the United States. Many countries have different schools like Uganda, Brazil, Haiti, Bangladesh, and India. Some help the earth by using solar power and boats to get the kids to school instead of buses. Some use tents instead buildings and some kids even have school in a boat or a cave!

I think this book is very interesting because you get to learn about schools all over the world. Every two pages is a different school with a map in the corner to show you where it is from. It has a lot of pictures and notes from the kids that go there. If you look around, there are little bits of writing like paragraphs but all over. Each school has different qualities.

I like learning about other kids. It’s great to know what their lives are about, how their lives go, and what differences we have with them. I would like these kids if I met them. They seem very nice. I wish I could met them.

Book: Ha! Ha! Ha! and Much More
Author: Lyn Thomas
Illustrator: Dianne Eastman
Ages: 9-11
Best For: Girls and Boys
Favorite Line: What kind of key opens a banana? A monkey!

This book, “Ha Ha Ha And Much More” Is a bunch of jokes, riddles, facts, and puzzles all in one book. It holds jokes about porcupines, rabbits, skunks, horses, rhinoceros, giraffes, dogs, cats, monkeys, and much, much more. On every page there is a little fact and it all adds up to over 700 facts! It is very helpful, and something that gives your friends a good laugh!

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a laugh. I give it 4 out of 5 stars, because this book got a little bit boring at times because their was a lot of facts and not as many jokes.
