Saturn, by Amy Margaret, is a book that tells you amazing facts about the planet and what it can do.

I like the book it reminds me of a parallel world. Also the book has very nice art work. I think they put some time into making this book, but there is one bad thing about the book. It tales itself way to seriously. I wouldn’t mind a little goofiness. This is Jett signing off. Also check out one of my other book reviews. Thanks for listening! Bye!

People 11-20 should read this. People that are interested in the solar system should check this out.

The Trojan Horse

I like this book because it has a lot of ACTION!! It’s about Greeks and Trojans fighting. The Greeks leave a wooden horse as a peace offering. But it has Greek soldiers inside and they attack. This book reminds me of the BIBLE and when David kills Goliath the Giant. Why isn’t there peace? Why did the gods (not the real GOD.) take sides? This book has some amazing facts! I think grade 4-6 should read this thrilling book. I wonder if all the Trojans died.

This book is kind of creepy and scary, but also awesome. This book is about is about the awesome stuff people discover and it’s disgusting and really scary. I wonder how they let people see their stuff and get permission to take pictures . This book reminds me of when I watch this on t.v =]. I wonder how they are so close to the lava page 12. I like how the pictures are high definition. I think this book is for everyone because it a good book. My strong opinion is that this book has some amazing facts!

There’s water and fire together and there is this big smoke and elephant. This book shows you about the earth. What was good? The clash of water and fire! The volcano of big smoke! Who should read it? The class.

Ninja

This book is exceptional. This book is simply about ninjas and how their lifestyles are. This book reminds me of that time where I dressed up as a ninja for Halloween. I wonder why the ninjas wanted to be so stealth and quiet? I enjoy the illustrations in this book. Anyone who likes ninjas or wants to be a ninja should read this book. I would rate this book a 6 and a half out of 10.

The Pittsburgh Penguins

Eddy — Fri, 13 May 2011 18:19:08 +0000

This book is about the Pittsburgh Penguins and their enthusiastic and tragic journey to the Stanley cup.This book is exceptional. I was wondering what date the Pittsburgh penguins won the Stanley Cup? I am very happy with the illustrations in this book and the details are exceptional as well. Anyone who likes the Pittsburgh penguins or hockey should read this book. If you are younger than 12 you should wait until you turn 12 years of age because this amazing and outstanding book has some harsh stuff in it but this book is definitely awesome.

Dougal Dixon’s Dinosaurs

Gabe — Mon, 02 May 2011 21:00:55 +0000

My strong opinion is that this book has some amazing facts!

This book tells about dinosaurs back then and what they looked and how they evolved into a new species and a new form of body.

The good part was when it started to show some violence and more interesting facts. I think people in grade 6 and grade 5, should read this book.

The Boston Bruins

Eddy — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:58:41 +0000

This book is exceptional. This book is good, it is about the Boston Bruins Hockey Club and some of there out standing players and coaches. I like the pictures because they show the old and new jerseys that the Boston Bruins had and the detail is good. Anyone who likes the Boston Bruins should read this book, for example the VicePrincipal of Lord Strathcona Elementary School.

Dinosaurs Eye to Eye

Darius — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:53:28 +0000

I really love this book. It has very nice pictures and it is very awesome.

This book is about Dinosaurs and it tells you about every dinosaur and it shows what they looked like and what they looked like when they were in a egg. It tells when they became extinct.

I like the good description and the cool crazy meat eaters and the pictures.

I think everybody should read it except little children because they might get scared.
