Book Reviews & Book Reports
Students fill bags with items that help to explain the characters, plot, and setting of their books...a 3-d book report.
- Beware We Are Poisonous, written by Hans D. Dossenbach, is about animals and how they defend themselves. It takes place all around the world. Animals defend themselves with poisons, which is sometimes harmful to humans. The positive side of their poison is that it can help to cure sickness.
I would recommend this book because you’ll learn about poison, snakes, and what other animals are poisonous. Learning about how to treat a poisonous bite so that you may save a life. This gives lots of information just like other non-fiction books.
- Misty of Chincoteague by Margaruite Henry is a story about two kids who stumble upon a horse called the Phantom, and they have their heart set on owning her for their own. They work very hard for the money to buy the Phantom on pony penning day. They capture the Phantom and they buy her and race her in a race and win.
I would recommend this book because it tells an interesting story about a true place that I have been to and like to go there again for our next family reunion because I had a very good time while I was there, and I had a great time at the beach.
- The title of this book is Nelson Mandela No Easy Walk to Freedom. This book was enacted in South Africa from 1918-1994. The book is about how Nelson Mandela and how he struggled to get blacks free in South Africa.
I would recommend this book because it is educating. The book is exciting and easy to understand. The book teaches that you could have courage just like Mandela.
