Where the Sidewalk Ends
by Shel Silverstein

Where the Sidewalk Ends is one of my most favorite Shel Silverstein books ever, right next to The Giving Tree. In my opinion the best poems are "Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout will not take the garbage out" and "Peanut butter sandwich. "Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout will not take the garbage out" is about a girl that would do anything, besides taking out her garbage, and because of her the trash pile got so big, that it breaks the kitchen windows, it blocks the kitchen door and last but not least it reaches from New York to the Golden Gate, so now all her friends moved away and the fact of being lonely finally makes her want to take out the garbage but it's too late.
"Peanut butter sandwich" is about a king that will eat only peanut butter sandwiches. His scepter, royal gowns, regal throne, and golden crowns were all covered in sticky mounds of peanut butter. One day while enjoying a peanut butter sandwich he realised that because of the peanut butter his jaws were stuck together and his mother even cried. Then finally after twenty years of pushing and pulling and pulling his mouth finally opened and then in a week rusty voice his first words were who wants peanut butter sandwiches. Then I think that for most boys "For sale" is the most ideal poem because the thing for sale is a sister, that's right a crying and spying and annoying little sister for sale. But the strangest most boyish one is "Jimmy Jet and his TV set." It is about a boy that watches TV so much that his chin grew into a tuning dial. An antenna grew out of his hair and his brains into TV tubes. His face to a screen and two knobs saying vent and horiz where his ears had been. Now instead of watching TV we all sit around and watch Jimmy.

Dog Heroes: Disaster Search Dogs
by Melissa McDaniel

I read a book called Dog Heroes: Disaster Search Dogs by Melissa McDaniel. I like this book a lot, it was good. I would tell a friend to read this book. It gives a lot of good information about dogs that help when bad things happen. Bad things like earthquakes or explosions. Dogs helped in New York on September 11, 2001, when people get trapped and they need to be found. I did not know how much dogs help when bad things happen. They can sniff out people who are trapped, like after an earthquake. They use their scent to find them. They can also get hurt working. Their paws get cut up on the concrete and they have to be taken care of. It takes a dog less time to find a person trapped. During a test, it took a dog five minutes to find the person and a human two hours. They are good searchers.

Monster Machines
by by Caroline Bingham

I read the book Monster Machines by Caroline Bingham. It is a good book, I liked it. It tells about big machines like trucks, airplanes, tractors and boats. I like tractors, I like learning about tractors. They are cool to watch but they are slow. The trains ae cool and fire trucks. I like all the parts of the fire truck. I want to check this book out again so i can read about the big stuff.

Big Book of Cars
by Trevor Lord

I read the book Big Book Of Cars by Trevor Lord. It was a good book. It has lots of information about cars like limos, dragsters, VW beetle. I call it a slug bug. I like it cause it looks cool. The new models are better, they look cooler. It tells all about the cars: how fast they go, what is on the cars and where it was made.
