Kid's Book Reviews - May 2001

Anastasia Krupnik

by  Lois Lowry 

In the book, a ten year old named Anastasia Krupnik is told by her parents that they are going to have a new baby boy. She gets upset and almost runs away. She only stays because she will be able to name the baby. My favorite part was when she wrote a poem. She got an "F" on it because it didn't rhyme and had no capital letters. Her father, a poet, liked it so he changed the "F" into "Fabulous".  I liked it because it's funny and interesting. It is a good portrayal of how a ten year old thinks. I think other kids will like it because it has a happy ending.

Redwall

by  Brian Jacques

Redwall is a book about mice that live in a place called Redwall Abbey. There are big, mean rats that are trying to take over Redwall. Their leader's name is Cluny. Cluny is bigger than all of the other rats. He has a really long tail that he uses as a whip. In one part of the story the rats have a battering ram that they are going to try to use to break down the gates. My favorite part was when a mouse named Matthias steals a magic sword from a big, huge poisonous snake. He kills the snake with his sword. I liked this book because there are lots of weird and cool characters. I think this book was really awesome.

Green Eggs and Ham

by  Dr. Seuss

This thing said it didn't like green eggs and ham, but at the end he said he liked green eggs and ham. My favorite part was when he says he likes green eggs and ham. I think other kids will like it because it's easy to read.
