Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day


Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst is a book about a boy Alexander and how he had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. The day is terrible, horrible, no good and very bad because he woke up in a bed and his room was not clean. The best part is when he looks at the reader. That makes you feel terrible, horrible, no good and very bad for him. That’s why Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, very Bad Day by Judith Viorst is a good book. It is relatable.

The Giver


The Giver by Lois Lowry is a great book about an old man who is sad and partially about trees. It is a very good book and deals with things that many old men deal with. Then it talks about trees. But the trees aren’t nearly as big a part of the book as the old man is, because the old man is the main part of the book.

My favorite part was when the old man looked at the medal he won called the John Newberry Medal. He won the medal because he was the best person at giving.

The Warm Place


The Warm Place by Nancy Farmer is a book about a young boy with his animal friends who live in a place that is not cold. The boy is friends with one giraffe, one lizard, two snails and two rats, but one of the rats always hides behind the boy because he is shy.

While the boy and animal friends like the warm place, they want to go home because they like places that aren't as warm.

The best part was when he talked to the rat that’s not shy and the rat pointed at him. That part was fun.
