Here are this week’s kids’ book reviews:
The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch.
Reviewed by Kaiya U. Age 6.
This book is about a princess saving a prince from the dragon by using many strategies. I like this book for three reasons: Elizabeth was very smart, brave and kind. The dragon is very selfish and mean. The prince was ungrateful and selfish.
Iron by Salvatore Tocci.
Reviewed by Aaron R. Age 9.
This book is about how iron was created, how it is used, where it comes from and also about the Iron Age.
I like this book because I really like elements, rocks, and minerals. While I like all types of minerals, iron is one of my favourites because it is very useful, just like diamonds and gold.
Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Smart Miss Know-It-All by Rachel Renee Russell.
Reviewed by May X. Age 9.
This book is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who gets her own advice column. She gets lots of letters, but her BFFs Chloe and Zoe help her with the letters. On New Year’s, Nikki and her friends do something they really regret to her arch-nemesis.
What will Nikki do? I like this book because every book in the series entertains me and I just can’t help reading them over and over.
There’s detail in both the writing and the pictures.
Once you start reading it, you won’t be able to put it down.
