Oh my a Fly! (Picture Book)

Book Review: Oh My a Fly! by Jan Pienkowski

             The book I am reviewing to day is called Oh My a Fly. This is a picture book about an old lady who swallows different creatures. Each Creature gets progressively bigger. The final creature, a horse, ends up causing her to die.

This book being a picture book is interesting and the illustrations are quite neat. That being said I found that it was not the best book for really anyone in my opinion. I rate this book a very low score of  2/5 stars.

Hurricane Disaster (Informational Text)

Book Review: Hurricane Disaster by Lynda Jones                  Today I will be talking to you about the informational text called Hurricane Disaster. This book was really well done. The pictures and graphics really allow the readers to dee the context from each fact is being told. This book first starts off by telling about how hurricanes are perceived and gives an interesting fact that a hurricane brings winds that are 74 mile per hour or higher. One interesting chapter is about hurricane hunters who actually fly planes right into the eye of a hurricane. Finally, it talks about how scientist are working ot better predict and forecast when a hurricane will hit.                   I thought this was a really awesome book and as a teacher if you were doing a unit a whether this would be very useful. I rate is 5/5 stars Title: Hurricane Hunters Author: Lynda Jones Publisher: Sc...

Construction Trucks (Picture Book)

Book Review: Construction Trucks by Betsy Imershein                  In this entry of my book review I will be reviewing Construction Trucks . This picture book gives brief descriptions of different construction vehicles. It also provides very large and detailed pictures of each truck. In this book it covers both vehicles that can be used on the roads and ones that can only be used at the construction site itself.                  Well I must admit, I seem to have a knack for picking childhood favorites. Again my mother said I loved to have this book read to me. I thought that this overall was a very good informational picture book. The pictures of each machine are of very high quality. I would rate this book a solid 5/5 stars. Title: Construction Trucks Author: Betsy Imershein Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division Publishing Date: 2000 ISBN: 0-6...

Wildfires (informational text)

Book Review: Wildfires by Seymour Simon                 Good Evening, today I will be discussing the amazing informational text called Wildfires. This informational text once again has great visuals. Throughout the book one truly gets a sense awe at what wildfires are. This book tells the story of how wildfires hit during the hot and dry summer of 1988 in Yellow Stone National park. It then goes on to explain that the fires were destructive, but they also allowed new life to come about because it made room for new plants to finally sprout. Finally, the book makes the point that wildfires are not good or bad, but they actually bring a good cycle of change.                   I thought this book would be good to read because of the recent wildfire in Australia. Although, those were caused by a combination of arsonists and global warming and not truly natural. I would rate this book a 5/5 stars. ...
