Gooseberry Park

Gooseberry Park          By: Cynthia Rylant

Reviewed by: B.G.W.
This book is about a dog named Kona and his friends Murray, Stumpy, Gwendolyn . Kona tries to save Stumpy and her new born babies. I didn’t like this book when Stumpy got lost trying to find Kona. Also, I didn’t like this book when Stumpy’s new born babies were left alone. My favorite character in this book was Kona because Kona is curious about everything and he is smart. You should read this book because it shows that no mater how you look you can be friends.

Do you know anyone who is curious like Kona?

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing By Judy Blume


Reviewed by J.D.R.

This book was about a boy named Peter. He wins a turtle named Dribble from a birthday party.  You’ll never guess what happens to Dribble. Peter has two problems, a girl named Sheila and his brother Fudge, other wise known as fang. They explore New York with Peter, try to touch bears, throw tantrums, make commercials and much, much more. I liked this book because it’s funny. Also, because of all the funny words. My favorite character in this book was Fudge because he does stupid stuff and says funny words . It cracks me up when he says “pe –tah.” You should read this book because it is a comedy and should be turned into a movie. My rating is a big five star rating.

I recommend it to anyone who likes funny books and weird dads!
