It gets really exciting the next few pages and so on. Will the Leanin Dog help her loneliness and get her outside again? Find out in the book The Leanin Dog.

Swordbird


This book was great. I couldn't put it down. The book is about two tribes of birds. The cardinals and the blue jays save birds all around the world by calling Swordbird, a great mythical creature in an old old book. A hawk was taking over the whole world getting slave birds and soldiers. Can the good birds stop him? Find out in the book Swordbird. I gave it four hearts because the beginning was hard to understand, but as you get closer to the middle it gets really good.     YYYY

HATE THAT CAT


This book has some poems turned into a full story. The beginning of this book is sort of strange but when you get farther in you understand it more. I liked how the author described this particular story in poem. It is about a boy who thinks cats are mean and bad but soon gets a cat and realizes that cats aren't that bad. YYY

Thank you Caitlin Doggart from Where the Sidewalk Ends for giving me a copy of this book!
