The Talented Clementine, by Sara Pennypacker

The Talented Clementine, Is a great book full of entertainment. The little girl in the book Clementine is nervous because her grade has been picked to do a talent sho, also known as Talent-palooza. She is so upset because she doesnt have a talent, she cant even hop. She doesnt know what to do because she is not like regular little girls with ribbons and bows she is Clementine. In the end Clementine figures out just what too do!

Love you Forever, by Robernt N Munsch

Love you Forever, Is a wonderful book for all ages children and adults. I have loved this book my whole life, because my parents read it to me all the time. I would say, "Read love you forever please." The book has repetition that is a great thing for younger children when they are learning to read. There is a constaint saying through out, Love you Forever, Like you for always as long as im living my baby you'll be. I think it is beautiful and fun. I know that if you havent read this one its a great one to pick up. It can also go great in a classroom to ask children what their parents always said to them.

UPSIDE DOWN and BACKWARDS, BY: Diane Bertrand

This book was so much fun to read. It has a bunch of different stories built in the same book. I like the stories because they explain real life things that can happen. Diana's Party, was a chapter in the book. In the chapter Luis has to stay with his aunt, TIa Anita. He is suppose to go to a friends party and Tia tries to give him a powder puff, he tries to explain how he has a gift card. She thinks that is just rediculous. In the end he realizes his anut isnt so bad and her present wasn't either. I also readlly like how the stories are both in english and in spanish. This would be a great book for a class read, because if a child doesnt know english well, they still will know what is going on. The cover on both sides is the same one in spanish and one in english, I also like this because it doesnt show which side is more important.

When I heard the learn'd astronomer, By: Walt Witman

When I heard the learn'd astronomer, By Walt Witman is a great book full of imagination. When reading the book you can look at all the amazing pictures and see what is exactly going on in the book. The pictures are so real you feel as though you are there with the little boy. At first he cares around his small rocket ship and goes and looks at all the different diagrams and models. Eventually he goes out doors and imagines in the stars that his space ship is flying. This book is full of amazing art work and really makes the reader use their imagination. Sometimes reading a book takes imagination. This would be a great book to read to students and have them imagine flying a rocket ship or what they think the stars look like at night.

Los Gatos Black on Halloween, By: Marisa Montes

Los Gatos Black on Halloween, was a good book. At first when i started reading it I was not sure how i felt about it. It explained about ghost, witches, skeletons which can all be kind of scary for little kids to think about when related to Halloween. When I read on I realized that I liked the book, because in the end the children went to the monsters ball and said, "TRICK OR TREAT." At that moment all the monsters were scared of the children instead of the other way around. I think this would be a great book to read to students around Halloween time, because not only does it say words in spanish and english but it shows them that monsters are just as scared of them as they are of the monsters!

I love Saturdays y domingos, By: Alma Flor Ada

I love Saturdays y domingos, is a book about a girl that hangs out with her english speaking grandparents on saturdays and her spanish speaking grandparents on domingos. I like this book because it shows the two different sides of her life. She can speak english when she needs to or spanish at other times. For example, she calls her grandparents on Saturdays grandma and grandpa, but on Sundays, domingos she calls her grandparents abuelita and abuelito. I think that this would be a great book for children that are just learning the english language or children that are from english/spanish speaking homes. This book really shows diversity with in the family which can be very important as the world is becoming more diverse.
