TITLE: ADA'S PAL
AUTHOR: GEORGE ELLA LYON
ILLUSTRATOR: MARGUERITE CASPARIAN
BOOK REVIEW BY: PATCHES, age 9
Book Summary: This book was about three dogs. It begins with two dogs named Ada and Troublesome. They are best friends. Then Troublesome got really sick. The doctors couldn't help him and he died. Ada was really sad after Troublesome died. In fact, he didn't feel like doing anything at all; not playing, not eating, not walking. So then the owner bought a new puppy to keep Ada company. But, Ada didn't like the new puppy at first. The new puppy tried to play with Ada but Ada just growled at it. After a while Ada decided to play with the new puppy and they became friends.
Recommendation: I recommend this book for children of all ages because it is a friendship story.
Rating: 5 STARS *****

TITLE: DRAGON AND SLEEPY OWL
AUTHOR: LUCY KINCAID
ILLUSTRATIONS: ERIC KINCAID
BOOK REVIEW BY: JN, age 8
Book Summary: This is a book about an owl and a dragon. The owl can not go to sleep because all the animals in the forest are trying to talk to him. So the owl asks his friend, the dragon, to help him. The dragon stood under the tree and told any animal that comes to talk to the owl to go away. The bees sing a sleeping song and everyone falls asleep except the dragon.
Recommendation: I recommend this book to everyone because it is funny. All the animals wanted to talk to the owl but he was too sleepy to talk. At the end the owl woke up and laughed because all the animals were asleep. I like the illustrations because the animals are cute.
Rating: 5 STARS ****

BOOK REVIEW BY: ALIEN DUDE (AGE 9)
Book summary: This book is about a little pig named Tuck. He doesn't like swimming but his mother is making him take lessons. He just wants to stay home and play under his bed with his little rubber spider named Snyder. One day he takes Snyder with him to the swimming lesson. Snyder falls in the pool and Tuck has to dive in and save him. Tuck forgot that he hated to get his head wet because he was trying to save Snyder.

So she got some cats to chase away the mice but when the last cat came in all the mice escaped. So the cats job was already done. Then some robbers came into the house and the cats attack them. The women was really fed up with all the noise. She slid down the railing and was going to hit the robbers with her broom but the robbers escaped also.

So she decided to let the mice come back into her house. She made friends with the mice and finally had a good nights sleep.
