"I read the book Go Dog. Go! by P. D. Eastman. I liked it best when they had a party on a tree. P.D. Eastman is my favorite author."

"Would you eat fried worms? That is what Billy had to do in the book How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell. Billy makes a $50 bet with Alan that he can eat 15 worms in 15 days. Billy tries many different things to help himself eat the worms, like adding mustard, ketchup and peanut butter on top. Billy wanted the $50 so he could buy a mini-bike. I liked this book because it was exciting waiting to find out if Billy won the $50."

"I read Jackie Robinson and the Story of All-Black Baseball by J. M. O'Connor. It was about Jackie Robinson's life and how playing baseball on an all-white team was the beginning of the end of the all-black baseball league. I liked the story because it shows that it only takes one person to make things change."
