We're All Wonders by R.J.Palacio
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about overcoming mean people. This story is about Auggie and the way people are unkind because he looks different than most other kids. I like the way Auggie uses his imagination to help him deal with being teased about his looks. He pretends to go into outer space to Pluto where he imagines there are creatures that look like him. The last sentence of the book "Look with kindness and you will always find wonder." is an important thing to remember everyday. If everyone was kind to each other, a lot of problems could be solved.

Night Tree by Eve Bunting
I would not recommend this book to people that don't like books that are long. There are too many words that I can't read. If somebody read me the book, I would recommend this book because I liked the story.

Chicks and Salsa by Aaron Reynolds
I would recommend this book because it's showing kindness. The Rooster tries to make everybody happy by making food for every animal. I like when the Rat wearing sunglasses sold food that the animals didn't make. When the Rooster was cooking, the Rat read the book for the Rooster. He was cooking fast. I like this book so much because it's about salsa. It's good. It was so fun to read. Salsa tastes good, that is why I love this book.

Matthew and Tilly by Rebecca C. Jones
I would recommend this book to others. This book is about being kind even when someone calls you names. I think Matthew and Tilly are best friends. I think people would like this book because it could really happen. Tilly gets mad at Matthew because Matthew breaks Tilly's purple crayon. Tilly decides to play hopscotch. Tilly said it is not fun playing hopscotch without someone to play with. So she goes to Matthew's house. Then she wants to play with Matthew because she does not have anyone to play hopscotch. She said it is no fun.

A Chair For My Mother by Vera B. Williams
I would not recommend this book if you do not like long books. This book is kinda like a chapter book. I did not like the story because it was boring. If you do not like the color blue, you would not want this book, because there is blue on every page.

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn manners. It can help people learn about manners of like how to eat a salad. It also helps you learn the names of dinosaurs like spinosaurus, protoceratops, and supersaurus. Lastly, the story also tells you what a role model looks like and what he acts like.

Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds
I would recommend this book to anyone that likes books about creepy carrots and rabbits. This story is about a rabbit named Jasper and creep carrots. Jasper rabbit has a passion for carrots. Jasper couldn't get enough carrots until they started to follow him. Jasper is the main character in the story, but when he picks the carrots and eats them, the carrots get furious. They don't like getting eaten. They creep him out so he won't want to pick carrots anymore. I like the part when the carrots trick Jasper and his parents. The next morning Jasper Rabbit had a plan. He built a wall around the carrot patch, dug a hole around the wall and filled the hole with water. The Creepy Carrots cheered because they scared Jasper so he wouldn't eat them again.

When Sophie Gets Angry, Really, Really Angry... by Molly Bang
I would recommend this book. The first reason why I like the story is because the pictures are unique. I like the way the illustrator painted the pictures. The background is yellow and red. The second reason why I like the story is because Sophie knows what to do when she gets angry. She climbs on a tree and watches sea waves. The last reason why I like the story is because her parents aren't mad at her because they know what is going on in her mind. Overall, I will recommend this book to friends.

Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina
I would recommend this book to my dad. The book is about sixteen monkeys taking sixteen caps from a peddler. The peddler likes to sell caps to get money for his family. When he was asleep, the monkeys took his caps from him. When he woke up, he was very, very mad. He gets even madder because the monkeys were mocking him. When he took off his cap and put it on the ground, then the monkeys copied the peddler. I like this book because the monkeys are funny by mocking the peddler.

The Art Lesson by Tomie dePaola
I would recommend this book. This story was good because I thought the character was challenged to make art for the wall. It's a good story because the character was trying to make art for his mom. I like that the character draws everywhere he goes. I want to be an art teacher when I grow up like the art teacher in the story.

McDuff and The Baby by Rosemary Wells
I would recommend this book because everything works out in the end. The Story is about a dog named McDuff. McDuff’s owners did a lot of activities like reading comics out loud to McDuff. He liked that. One day McDuff saw a baby. The next day the owners were going for a walk and the carriage would not roll on the woodland path. So they had to walk on the streets. They did not do activities with McDuff because the baby was taking up all the time from McDuff’s owners. At the end of the story the dog McDuff liked the baby and the baby liked McDuff.

The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds
I would recommend this book to a kind person. Jerome was the main character and he was a nice kid by sharing his words he collected to the world. The second reason I would recommend this book is because the book is about unique collectors like rock collectors. The last reason is because he made other kids happy.

Elbert’s Bad Word by Audrey Wood
I would recommend this book. I would read this book to someone because it is a good book to read. This book would be good to practice reading and sounding out words. Elbert caught the bad word and put it in his back pocket. When he was singing the bad word went into his mouth. Trouble started happening, then Elbert gets hit in the foot and the bad word comes out of his mouth. I thought this book was funny.

Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild! by Mem Fox
I would not recommend this book if you don't like long stories. I do love the book, It was amazing. Harriet's mom did not like to yell. The book was about forgiveness and people need to forgive in life. When Harriet had feathers coming out of the pillow, Harriet helped out her mom with the feathers. I liked that.
