Unicorn Diaries: Bo the Brave by Rebecca Elliott, Scholastic, ISBN 9781338323436

Sloane reviewed her own copy of this book.

Do you like books about unicorns? Then I think you should read Unicorn Diaries: Bo the Brave because it’s magical.

In this story, Bo’s class of unicorn friends goes camping. They heard noises and got scared. The unicorns found out that the noises were coming from the pixies. The pixies were having a party. The pixies were afraid of the beasts and Bo the Brave must save the day.

One reason I like this book is because it’s entertaining to all students. In this story there are lots and lots of unicorns. Another reason I like this book is because there’s lots of magic. Everyone has magical powers. The most powerful magic is flying. The third reason I like this book is because the pictures are wonderful. For example, the book has colorful pictures like orange and pink and yellow.

I hope you go get this book and read it right away. Do you want to find out more about this book? Visit your local library.

I recommend this book for kids ages nine and eight and seven. I’ll give this book a 10 out of 10!

REVIEWED BY JACOB, SECOND GRADE, MISSOURI, USA

Fox and His Friends series by Edward Marshall, illustrated by James Marshall, Penguin Young Readers Group, ISBN 9780140370072

Jacob reviewed his own copy of this book.

Have you ever read a book that is funny and has some sad parts but more good parts? Good. You came to the right place because this book series has bad cooks and basic ones. And you do not have to read the books in order. The series is Fox and Friends by Edward Marshall and James Marshall.

In one of the books he gets in a race. He crashes in a garden so he has to fix it himself. And he gets sad about crashing into a garden. Then he broke his bike so he has to get a job, so he gets one …

My first reason I like this book is because Fox is funny. In the story he threw his tunafish sandwich away, but then he got hungry. It is so funny. My second reason I like these books is because they are not that long. You can read one in one day. My third reason is you don’t have to read the books in order.

I hope you get these books right away. I give it ten stars. I think this book is for ages 7 and up.

Book review: Pinkalicious and the Sick Day

REVIEWED BY LILA, SECOND GRADE, MISSOURI, USA

Pinkalicious and the Sick Day by Victoria Kann, HarperCollins, ISBN 9780062246011

Lila reviewed her own copy of this book.

Have you ever read the Pinkalicious series? If you have not, you should read Pinkalicious and the Sick Day because it is funny. In this story there is a girl named Pinkalicious who is sick and her daddy tries to cheer her up.

One reason I like this book is because there are a lot of jokes. One of them is “Why did the pink panda go to the doctor? Because it was pink!” (That is why it is funny.)

Another reason I like the book is because I may want to be friends with her because she’s fun, but she may be crazy!

A third reason I like this book is because I like the pictures in the story. There are great pictures!

Do you want to find out more about this book? Visit your local library.

I recommend this book for kids ages 2-8. I give this book 9 and a half out of 10 stars!

Book review: Fox and Rabbit Celebrate

Alphabet Soup
Image shows the cover of a children's graphic novel: Fox and Rabbit Celebrate by Beth Ferry and Gergely Dudás. The cover illustration shows a giant cake with pink icing and a fox in a blue pointy party hat and two balloons, a tiny sparrow in a purple pointy party hat and a rabbit in a yellow pointy party hat and holding balloons. The sky is filled with confetti.

REVIEWED BY LUCCA, SECOND GRADE, MISSOURI, USA

Fox & Rabbit Celebrate by Beth Ferry and Gergely Dudás, Amulet Books ISBN 9781419751837

Lucca read the school’s copy of this book.

Do you like books with celebration? Then Fox & Rabbit Celebrate by Beth Ferry and illustrated by Gergely Dudás is the book for you because it’s fun.

In this graphic novel, Fox and Rabbit want to make the world’s biggest, yummiest pizza for Sparrow’s birthday. But they can’t cook it until Rabbit reveals a sizzling secret that there’s a dragon close by that can help.

One reason I like this book is because Fox and Rabbit are best friends even though they are different, like how Fox likes swimming and Rabbit doesn’t. Another reason I like this book is because it has extra side stories. For example “Wonder, Wish, and Wow” is about making a rock garden. A third reason I like this book is because I like the graphic novel’s way of telling a story. For example I like how they use dialogue.

I hope you get this book and read it right away. I recommend this book for kids ages three and over. I give this book 10 out of 10 stars.
