Chopsticks

The book Chopsticks by Amy Krouse Rosenthal Illustrated by Scott Magcon. The book should be for ages 5-9 because the words are very simple and easy to understand. At the beginning of the book, one of the chopsticks get injured by doing a trick. The other chopstick had to do things on his own which he thought was impossible. Later the chopstick learned to play on his own and he thought it was quite fun. Later the other chopstick was allowed to go out of the hospital and they joined back together. I thought the book was ok except for its lame jokes. The moral of the story was that the chopstick learns what he can do on his own. He also learned the power of staying together and alone. In conclusion, the book had a very powerful meaning.

Spoon

The book “Spoon” by Amy Krous Rosenthal illustrated by Scott Magoon should be a book for ages 5-10. It is for ages 5-10 because it has very simple words and sentences. The book is about a spoon and how he feels down. First, the spoon visits his Aunt Silver then at night he hears about the story of how his great-grandmother and how she fell in love with a dish and ran off. Lately spoon has been feeling blue. Then he saw all the lucky things that a knife can do like cutting and spreading. He then saw how the fork can be everywhere like being on the barbeque, the salad bowl and the cake. He also saw the Chopsticks and he thought they were really cool and exotic. While spoon was saying how lucky his friends are his friends was saying how lucky he was like he is fun and easygoing, get to measure stuff and can go places by himself. Later that night his mom told him how lucky he was. He gets to dive headfirst into a bowl of ice cream, gets to clink against the side of a cereal bowl and get to relax in a hot cup of tea. I think the main meaning of the book is “look at how lucky you are not someone else”.  I liked the book because I think the meaning of the book is a very important lesson. In conclusion, I thought it was a very interesting book and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they aren’t lucky.

“Alfred Noble The Man Behind The Peace Prize”

The book “Alfred Noble The Man Behind The Peace Prize” by Kathy-Jo Wargin illustrated by Zachary Pullen. The book is very educational and has many facts that most people don’t know so that is why I think the book should be for ages 9-15. The book was about how the man Alfred Noble invented dynamite, he intended to make dynamite to blow away rocks and mountains to help build. Later dynamite was used in wars to fight which Alfred Noble was very angry with. So before his death, he made the Noble Peace Prize using all his money which will be awarded to accomplishment in physic: another for chemical discovery or improvement: a prize for physiology or medicine: and a prize for literature. I thought the book was very educational and interesting because it taught me a few things. One of the ways it taught me was that Alfred Noble made dynamite which I never knew before. In conclusion, I loved the book because of how interesting and emotional it was.

The book I Used to be a Fish by Tom Sullivan is a very funny book for ages 5 to 14. The book was about how a fish went through evolution and became a human.

Later he grew taller and smarter. He then lost his fur and went hunting. Lastly, he learned to draw and build. I liked the book for it is very funny and informational. In conclusion, I thought it was a great book because of how funny it was.
