My Monster Mama Loves Me So

I have a whole book shelf of books but my favorite is "My Monster Mama Loves Me So". Why this book is my favorite is because whenever my mom reads it to me it reminds me of us like we're the characters in the book. The second reason why is that we (me and my mom) always find something new like the mom has one dog earing and one cat earing. Also, at the end of the book it says, oh and your monster mama loves you to. So I recommend to read this book with your mom. You might think the same thing.

Traitor King

There are many books on my shelf, but "Traitor King", by Todd Mitchell, has a stand. My favorite book is "The Traitor King" because it has mythical creatures that freak me out. Another reason I like this book is it doesn't take me 1 hour to read like the other books do. That's why I like "The Traitor King".

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Do It Yourself)

My current favorite book is "Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Do-it-Yourself," by Jeff Kinney. It is my favorite because the unfinished comics are sensational. Another reason why "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is my favorite is the discussion questions such as "Did you ever eat a scab?" and many more. another reason why I liked this book is that you have half of the book to make your own diary! That's why "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is my favorite book.

Chew on This

Peak by Roland Smith

Fourteen-year-old New Yorker Peak Marcello hones his climbing skills by scaling skyscrapers. After Peak is caught climbing the Woolworth Building, an angry judge gives him probation, with an understanding that Peak will leave New York and live with his famous mountaineer father in Thailand. Peak soon learns, however, that his father has other plans for him; he hopes that Peak will become the youngest person to climb Mt. Everest. Peak is whisked off to Tibet and finds himself in the complex world of an Everest base camp, where large amounts of money are at stake and climbing operations offer people an often-deadly shot at the summit. This is a thrilling, multifaceted adventure story. Smith includes plenty of mountaineering facts told in vivid detail (particularly creepy is his description of the frozen corpses that litter the mountain). But he also explores other issues, such as the selfishness that nearly always accompanies the intensely single-minded.

Knuffle Bunny Too by Mo Williams

Trixie is excited to take her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school, but when she gets there she is surprised to learn that another girl in her class has a Knuffle Bunny too. The two bunnies cause too many distractions in the class and are confiscated by the teacher. At the end of the school day the bunnies are returned to the girls and they go happily on their way . . . until, at 2:30 in the morning, Trixie realizes she has the WRONG bunny! I don't want to give away the ending so you will have to check this out to see what happens.

As a big fan of the first Knuffle Bunny book by Mo Williams, I was eager to get my hands on this book. I was not disappointed and I can't wait for others to read it so we can discuss all the details. Please post a comment and let me know what you think. ~Mrs. G
