"I liked 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl because I like chocolate, and you can go to a factory and make anything you want to make, like chocolate. It is my favorite book." -- Kia Wright Public School #215 "My favorite book is 'New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley: The Case of the Missing Mummy' by Francis Lin Lantz. It is about two girl twins named Mary-Kate and Ashley who go into a museum and get locked up in jail.

The part I liked was when he was chasing a nice-looking horse, but it really was a car." -- LaByanca Harvey Grove Park Elementary " 'Koko's Kitten' is a good book because the author Francine Patterson talks about a real gorilla.

The acronym represents: T=talents and time, H=hope and honesty, I=insight, N=nice, K=knowledge, B=books, I=in-depth, G=God. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to unleash their potential for excellence." -- Terry Thornton II Johnnycake Elementary "My favorite book is 'Something Queer in the Cafeteria' by Elizabeth Levy. The book is a hilarious mystery. There is a brand new cafeteria at the Evergreen Avenue School, and everything has gone wrong.
