I recommend it for anyone wanting to learn about Guatemala. ...more

I learned a lot about Bill Peet I probably never would have known! It was an interesting book, because I learned more than I ever thought I could. I wasn`t really impressed with the end of the book. It didn`t tell what I thought it would. The end of the book was about the success of one of his books. Overall, this was a really good book, and I recommend it for a lot of people!...more

This book was pretty good. Even though it is over 100 pages, it needed some more information added. More things about him and his family`s lifeThis book was pretty good. Even though it is over 100 pages, it needed some more information added. More things about him and his family`s life together should have been put in. Abraham Lincoln had a really, really cool life. Even though there was a lot of loss in his life, especially because his sister died at an early age an diseases took 2 of his son`s lives. Overall, pretty good book!...more

I think that there could have been a bit more information, like some good little biographies about star players. Also, this book is about three years old, so a lot of the information was not accurate. I didn`t find anything about the KC Chiefs that was accurate, except some of the things on Dwayne Bowe. Overall, pretty could, but could have been better....more
Overall, pretty good! I think some of the things in this book could have been phrased better, more like, "You would only have a few minutes` warningOverall, pretty good! I think some of the things in this book could have been phrased better, more like, "You would only have a few minutes` warning of a tornado,", not "Tornadoes can happen with out warning." But pretty much, it was good. I recommend it for beginners, because it is a smaller AR level....more

I didn`t like the first book I read of this series, but this was was a lot better! First of all, I didn`t know that in the beginning, the Statue of Liberty was only and arm holding her torch, and her torch was a balcony! Another thing I didn`t know is that it`s been closed since the attacks of September 11th, 2001. There are many things that symbolize America in her. The torch, the Seven Spike, 25 windows, the Book, the Robes, the Poem at the bottom of her podium, and the broken chains, representing freedom. It took a while to save the money to finish building Liberty, but they did. And in France, the missed her so much, the French built a Mini Lady Liberty! This had a lot of shocking facts, also that she wears size 879 shoe!...more

I enjoyed learning more, like the fact that platypuses have venom! That`s something I would have never guessed on my own! The overall format of the book was pretty good. It had a lot of informational pictures with explanations of why they are there.

The back quotes 'By the time you`re finished reading, you`ll be a butterfly expert!'. I`ve read shorter books that gave more information. It gave a little information that I didn`t know, but it was not a 'Wow! I didn`t know that!' all the way through the book....more

I really like the Kitty Corner books, and the Puppy Place. I`ve read a lot of them lately. Even though finding stray cats as a pet isn`t a terribly good idea, if you checked and made sure the cat didn`t have rabies or anything, it`s pretty OK. Shelters are a better idea, though. Collars on cats, I like the idea, but it seems pretty hard to do. Maybe this gives good tips for the beginning of getting a cat, but not exactly the kind of book a little kid that`s just gotten a cat wants to read until maybe he or she`s read some of the Kitty Corner books. Pretty good book....more

AI couldn`t keep away from this, because all the kids in my class are reading them at our school library. I learned a lot about Golden Retrievers. A king bred and bred and bred until he got the right kind of dog. And soon, he got the right kind of dog. He did it for generations. This kind of dog is also a great service and guide dog. This is a great kind of dog!...more

I learned more about Taylor Swift, more than I have before. Although, the chapter called 'Better Than revenge', I thought would be about her song, 'Better Than Revenge.' But it didn`t really say anything about individual songs, except for the singles that were pulled out of albums. This book gave me a more clear look on Taylor Swift`s life, and all her accomplishments. At the beginning of her career, she had a lot of competition, and still does today, but not as much as in the beginning....more

Scientists think that the static electricity is ruined by going intoWhat I liked best about this book is what people think why cats don`t like water! Scientists think that the static electricity is ruined by going into water, and it makes them uncomfortable. Although I have dunked my cat into the tub, while the water was still draining, but she didn`t like it. So, I agree. This is a most likely statement. Even though you wouldn`t find a cat high, high up, in a time when it`s needed, they can use balance to save themselves....more

I learned that cats use their whiskers to feel around, because sometimes they need that extra thing. I think that it`s like a sixth sense, that cats need to help them. They can feel around to find need-to-finds. If there are obstacles, and it`s dark, cats can use whiskers to help feel around....more

Just before her album, Red, came out, this book was published. It was published January 1, 2012, and Red was not yet released until November 12, 2012. It was fast just to flip through, and interesting, so I just sat and read it, even though it really was not a challenge for me to read. I learned the reason that Taylor Swift moved to Nashville, so she could have the togetherness needed with Big Machine Records....more

I didn`t like the format, nor the way things went into other things, and the number of breaks you have to take into reading different parts of the book. I thought that this would have some true easy reading, but it took me quite a while to accomplish all the reading that was blocked into it. The little type, too. I was glad to finish it, because I was really ready to move into something else....more

Like the way they mate, and that they don`t travel in packs, the only time they are in packs is with the male that they mate with. They have 2-4 cubs at once. They have cubs, and they only weigh about three pounds, but they grow to be very, very, very big, at adult age. I think that`s pretty awesome! They grow like that in just a few years of their life! Humans can`t do that, I don`t think! ...more

The book was published just before her album, Speak Now came out. She has won a lot more awards than I thought, and it was very amazing. At age 11, she sang the National Anthem at a basketball game, and had her first big break at the age of 13 or 14. First she had her album, Taylor Swift published, and then Fearless. Two years ago, Taylor let her album, Red out. Taylor Swift is my favorite country singer, and my favorite song is Sparks Fly, on her album, Speak Now. I had fun learning more about Taylor Swift, and I think that it`s amazing how early she let albums out and made breakthroughs, and records....more

I was very impressed with Hurry Up Houdini, but I`m not all that into magic, but it was interesting. I couldn`t really pick out my favorite trick, with all the ones. But I like that magicians have to be tricky, sneaky, and do a lot of talking so that people could believe that you were doing magic. There is a lot of talking to be done, and you can`t really exactly focus on the trick, because you need to know it well to do it in front of people. Like, when you do one trick, you are doing something with your right and left hand. But because the real trick is going on in your right hand, you have to look at your left hand, so people will watch your left hand, not right!...more
