I like this book because there was this pet contest the kids are going to have at Bailey Elementary School. Kilmer, (a boy that looks kind of like a frankenstein) has a pet named Bruno. His pet is a mysterious pet and noone ever saw it. Ben a friend of Kilmer was going to borrow Kilmer's pet spider because Kilmer's grandmother, a witch put a spell on those spiders. Kilmer didn't take Bruno at the pet contest because it was out of control and wouldn't get on the leash, but Ben shared the spiders with Kilmer.

hey this book is awesome i definitely recommend it to anyone who likes picture books and begginers reading books

Lewis and Clark, A Prairie Dog for the President, is a fun read that's nicely paced. Author Shirley Raye Redmond uses whimsy and humor to tell this historic event: President Jefferson sends the eager Lewis and Clark off to explore the West. The vast young nation has never been fully explored. The president wonders how long it will take to get to the end of it and what they will find. One of my favorite parts is the banter over what to name the barking prairie creature they discover and send back to Jefferson.
"You can call it a ground rat."
"No, it looks like squirrel. I'll call it a barking squirrel."
"Squirrels don't bark. Dogs bark. We should call it a prairie dog."
"That's it!" Lewis and Clark agreed.
Later it starts all over again, when the President asks, "Is it a gopher?"
The illustrations by John Manders are just as pleasing. I like the facial expressions on the people and animals, especially the mischievous smile of the prairie dog. Manders is skilled at portraying action and emotions. And like the author, his sense of humor is so much fun. A buffalo and bear pose to be sketched. A buffalo won't fit in a shipping crate. Prairie dogs pop in and out of holes, eluding capture. A poor scout is so weighed down with "presents" for the President, he must be hoisted onto a boat.
Together, Shirley Raye Redmond and John Manders have created a delightful book.

I am currently using this book in a college composition course. I find this book to be extrememly helpful in writing my essays. The book gives examples of different types of essays and even examples of parts of essays, like the Introduction and Conclusion. This book is easy to read and understand.

These are delightful little books that get your child writing eagerly. They'll ask for more of these. If your child is struggling to get his/her ideas on paper this will help get your child motivated.

Joseph Gallagher, a retired Catholic priest and professor, who has taught at such venerable institutions as John Hopkins, Notre Dame, Loyola, and Oxford presents on an easy-to-understand guide through the intricacies of Dante's imaginative work. Written in a conversational style that anyone can understand, this expert tutor of many students for over 50 years explains each of the characters canto by canto. The outline at the beginning is a great help. While it is not as analytical as that of Erich Auerbach's "Mimesis", this book is a valuable addition. It should prove indispensable for those who need a companion guide; the homeschooler's library should contain this erudite explanation.

my daughter started reading bob books before she turned four. she loves them because it systematically teaches her the tougher words using illustrative pictures and repetitive and rhyming words. the books are just the right size and page length making her feel proud that she has completed them.

Hi. I am a third grader from the U.S.A. I like this book because it's sort of like a mystery book. Aldo is looking for Peabody. You should read this book and find out where Peabody is. Peabody is a fat cat. I would give this book five stars because it is the best book of my life and I like Johanna Hurwitz books.
