KIDS’ BOOK REVIEWS

“The Case of the Stinky Science Project”

James Preller

The best part is when Joey puts his egg salad into the volcano, then the volcano explodes and out comes a terrible smell.

I recommend this book for third- and fourth-graders because it teaches a great lesson to tell the truth or else something worse happens.

“Winnie-the-Pooh”

A.A. Milne

Christopher Robin has many stuffed animals. Among them are Winnie-the-Pooh, Eeyore, Rabbit and Piglet. Christopher Robin goes on many adventures with them in the Hundred Acre Wood. There, they all come to life and live in trees and underground. They go on adventures together to the North Pole and other places.

I think you would like this book (even if you have seen the movie) because it is silly and interesting. It is also very different from the movie. (Caution: It contains hard words, but it is still really good.)
