Being Healthy

Being Healthy
Published by Laidlaw Brothers

There is no main character.  There is no genre.  It shows how to get healthy.  It shows tips.  I thought the story was helpful.

Aliens Ate My Homework

Aliens Ate My Homework, by Bruce Coville
Illustrated by Katherine Coville
Published by Pocket Books

The main character is Red Albright.  The setting is in his bedroom.  The genre is fiction.  It has fake aliens in it.  It has fake people.  I thought the story was interesting.

The Thing about Georgie

The Thing about Georgie, by Lisa Graff
Published by HarperCollins Publishers

The main character is Georgie.  The setting is at his house and the classroom.  The genre is funny.  A boy can't do certain things.  A girl picks on him.  I thought the story is funny.

Wild Wild World

Wild Wild World, by Denny Robson
Illustrated by Clare Oliver
Published by Parragon

The main thing is animals that are extinct.  The genre is an interview.  It talks about animals.  It talks about fossils and extinct things.  I thought it was cool.

The Good, the Bad, and the Silly

The Good, the Bad, and the Silly, by Doug Peterson
Illustrated by Tom Bancroft and Rob Corley
Published by Scholastic

The genre is fiction.  The theme is do the right thing the first time.  In this story Cowboy Larry, Botch, and Sunburn Kid have to corral 40 cows from one ranch to another as fast as they can.  Along the way Cowboy Larry has to choose between doing the good thing, the bad thing or the silly thing.  I like this story because it tells us that you follow God rather than the crowd.

Arthur and the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club

Arthur and the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club, by Marc Brown
Illustrated by Marc Brown
Published by Marc Brown

The genre is fiction.  The theme is to make sure of something before you do it.  In this book Buster, Arthur, Sue Ellen, the Brain, and Francine try to keep a parents group called PAWS from taking the Scare-Your-Pants-Off books from the library.  To do so they get as many people to sign a petition against PAWS.  I like this book because it shows that you should do what you think is right after you think about it.

Avengers

Avengers, adapted by Thomas Macri
Published by Marvel Press

The theme is work together.  The genre is fantasy.  In this book an agency called S.H.E.I.L.D. is to defeat Thor's adopted brother Loki the Trickster.  He tricks them by purposefully falling off of the Bifrost (a bridge) and lands on Midgard (Earth) to conquer it.  Now the Avengers assemble to stop him.  I like this book because the Avengers fascinate me.
