"In 'Harry By the Sea' by Gene Zion, Harry is a dog with block spots who likes everything about the seashore. I like the part when Harry is covered with seaweed and everybody is afraid of him. The family did not even know Harry."

"I think you should read 'Scrambled Eggs Super!' by Dr. Seuss. There are funny pictures, especially the bird that lays eggs on cacti. The book has colorful pictures and silly words like Mop-Noodled Finch. I like the picture when the boy had 1,000 eggs that are big, small and medium."

"I read 'Commander Toad and the Big Black Hole," by Jane Yolen. I like this book because it is fun and I like frogs and toads. The frogs and toads are flying through space in a spaceship. My favorite part is when the spaceship lands on something pink and sticky, and they think it is gum, but it is really a big tongue."
