Have I Got A Book For You: Weird But True

This book review was completed by Katy in Fourth Grade.

Title of Book:  Weird But True

Author:  Various Authors

Summary:  It is about interesting facts that everyone will be gasping about.  These facts are about strange things you wouldn't even begin to think about like, "Astronauts drink recycled urine."

Reasons I liked the book:  It's fun to read.  You also get very attracted to it and want to read it all the time.

I would give this book 10 stars!!

I just love these books!  As Katy said, they provided countless gasping moments when reading the weird facts!  The Kids National Geographic site has a Weird But True quiz.  Click here to go to the site.  It also has a lot of great and interesting information.

Happy Reading!!

I LOVE My Media Center Because....

I wanted to decorate our Media Center for Valentine's Day!  Another Media Specialist posted on Twitter this activity and I just jumped on it!  I made a heart on the computer and wrote inside:  I LOVE my Media Center because...  The students during check out time had the opportunity to finish the sentence.  It was great to see so many students who wanted to fill out a heart.  I loved all the responses that were written on the hearts!  Here are a few of my favorites!

Have I Got A Book For You: BabyMouse (Queen of the World)

Here is our second student book review on a Babymouse book!  In fact, this book review is on the very first  Babymouse book!

This book review was completed by Hailey Jo in Fifth Grade.

Title of Book:  Baby Mouse: Queen of the World

Author:  Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

Summary:  Babymouse is trying to fit in with the popular girls.  She was upset about how the girls picked on her, so she tries to get a invitation to the girls party.

Reasons I liked the book:  I loved the Babymouse: Queen of the World because girls can feel that way and its a great message, if yo feel the way Babymouse does!  Go to the Library and look for Babymouse: Qeen of the World.

I would give this book 5 stars!

In the previous post I gave a link to the official Babymouse site.  The author, Jennifer L. Holm has her own website.  Click here to visit the site.  She also writes books other than Babymouse.  I've read a few and I really like them!

Happy Reading!!

Have I Got A Book For You: Extreme Babymouse

This book review was completed by Rebecca in Fifth Grade.

This is the first of two book reviews on Babymouse books!  A group of Fifth Grade girls have discovered this graphic novel series and I haven't had many in the Babymouse basket since!

Title:  Extreme Babymouse

Author:  Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

Summary:  Babymouse was jealous because she didn't get to go snowboarding, but Babymouse's dad's friend knows the that perfect snow is at Snowy Mountain.  But she gets there and she is till jealous!

Reasons I liked the book:  It's funny!  I LOVE Babymouse.  I love the authors who wrote it!

I would give this book 5 stars!

I believe we have the entire Babymouse series in the HES Media Center.  We also have the entire series of Squish, who was introduced in the book Babymouse: Mad Scientist.

Babymouse has her own website.  Click here to visit the site.

Happy Reading!!

More Student Book Reviews Coming Soon

I have three more student book reviews to post soon.  I thought that I brought them home with me over the weekend, along with the disk from the digital camera.  After checking through my bag, I found that I had left all of it on my desk at school.  Two of the book reviews are about books from one of my favorite Graphic Novel series, Babymouse.  The other is our first book review on a nonfiction book!



Happy Reading!!
