A new book review... Charlotte's Web



Title:  Charlotte's Web!
Author:  E.B. White
184 pages

This book is about a girl named Fern, who raised a baby pig. (His name isWilbur he was the smallest piglet in the litter. This is called the runt.)  At 6 weeks of age , he was sold to her Uncle Homer.  He at first was very lonely.  Then he found a friend named Charlotte.  Charlotte is a spider.  The goose on the farm talked in threes! Then Wilbur learned he would be made into ham and bacon, he cried and said "I don't want to die Charlotte." Then Charlotte said "You will not die.  I will save you."

The rest of the story is about Charlotte saving Wilbur by spinning words into her web.  The first thing she used was: SOME PIG.
She spun other words too, but you can read about those.

The ending is sad, I'm just warning you!


I give this book 5 out of 5 piglets.

Book Review - Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew: The Make-a-Pet Mystery

Title -  Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew:  The Make-A-Pet Mystery
Author - Carolyn Keene
Pages - 82 (plus some pages with craft instructions)



Nancy Drew and her friends are making their Make- A- Pets.  They are so excited.  The first station is 'choose your pet'.  Nancy chose a puppy.  One of her freinds (Bess) chose a cat.  Another friend (George - her real name is Georgia) picked a Tiger.  The place is a lot like Build-A-Bear.  The next step was fill up your pet.  Tabitha ( A employee) had to help them with this part!  The next step was dress your pet.  Nancy chose a blue sweater for her puppy. Bess picked out a pink ruffled dress for her kitty.   George picked out a karate outfit for her tiger.  The next station was name your pet.  Nancy decided Mocha chip for her puppy. Bess named her kitty Itty Bitty.  George stuck to Furrrocious for her bear.

Then one day, Violet was going to Make-A-Pet.  (Violet is another of Nancy's friends.)  Violet wanted to make a bunny named Hoppity.  Another one of the characters (I forgot her name) stole the name she wanted to use.  (I think it's Catherine.)  They were trying to find out who wanted the name.  That's the first mystery.

There is a second mystery - Well, there's a game online called Petopia and someone was messing around with Violet's account.  They were making it do weird things like dumpinig their treasure into the river!

I'm not going to tell you who really did it, because you'll have to read the book first!

I give this book 5 out of 5 Make-A-Pets!

PS  I am reading some more Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books so look forward to those!
