"My favorite book is 'The Magic School Bus: Inside the Human Body' by Joanna Cole. I like this book because your body is made of cells but yet it seems to be all in one piece. Your body needs energy to grow, move, talk, think and play. Also the body needs good food. Lots of fruits and vegetables."

" 'Angelina Ballerina' by Katharine Holabird is a very good book for children who want to take ballet. Angelina was so eager to dance that she got in the way. Her parents got her some ballet clothes and had her take ballet lessons. I like this book because I like mice, and Angelina is a mouse."

"I recommend 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott to anyone who likes adventure, jousting and chivalry. The knights of the crusades were fearless and honorable men. I enjoyed reading about their bravery. I can't wait to read more about knights."
