Bad Kitty has a birthday party with his other friends and something went wrong at the party. Read this book to find out what happened at the party. If you like cartoon books you’ll like this book. This was a story about Bad Kitty’s birthday party. One thing that went wrong was puppy took the presents and the cats chased puppy and used puppy as a piñata. I think you should read this book because it’s funny.

This is a funny book, and they are best friends. It is set in frog’s house. Frog and Toad have funny adventures together. Toad would not go outside. I like it because it is funny when Toad was on the sled and he crashed in to a rock.

If you know someone who enjoys the Pinkalicious picture books, tell that person about this new first reader featuring the same character who loves pink. Pinkalicious receives a new pair skates. They are boring white! Pinkalicious colors them pink with her cotton candy marker. You can just imagine what happens when she goes to the skating rink. This is a very cute book that will make you smile.

The main characters are Ms. Frizzle, Liz, Arnold, Ralphie, Keesha, Phoebe, Carlos, Tim, Wanda, and Dorothy Ann. They go to China back when the dinosaurs lived. The sinornithosaurus attacks them. What will happen? I liked this book because there are dinosaurs in the book, and I like dinosaurs.

Stuart and his brother George went to the carnival. Stuart wanted to go on the rides and play games. He was too small. Stuart and his brother George went to the Fun House. Stuart had a lot of fun there. I like this book because Stuart and George are brothers having fun. I like a book when the characters are having fun.
