Toys Go Out NS - Avalon, NJ This book is about Little Girl's toys named Plastic, Sting Ray, Tuk Tuk and Lumphy. Plastic is really a ball, Sting Ray and Lumphy are stuffed animals, Tuk Tuk is the bathroom towel, and the story is about their life with the Little Girl. I had to read this book before entering first grade. The toys go on adventures outside of the Little Girl's room.
A cool Moonlight KV - Avalon A Cool Moonlight is about a girl named Lila that is so allergic to the sun or any light that she can’t even stand near a Jukebox and stare at it or her eyes will burn. Her friends Elizabeth, Alyssa and David come over to her house and play with every night or every other night. Her friend David goes there but always gets called in Before Elizabeth and Alyssa, so they never got to see each other. One night Lila tried to get David to stay at night to try and see her friends but right when Lila knew that they were coming David’s mother called him in. Right when David jumped over the fence to his house her friends Elizabeth and Alyssa came under the fence. Lila was very mad because if he had just stayed a second longer he would have seen them. That was my favorite part and I also thought that, that was a good way to make them just miss each other in the book. I think that the book is very good because it uses a lot of details and shows how she goes through life without being able to see the sun. This is defiantly a book that I would read again. There is this thing in the writing that I thought was a little weird because after every period the next word or the beginning of sentences the word would not be in upper case letters or names. I think that, that was because they wanted you to just keep reading and not stop to just get caught in the book and just keep on reading. Even because of that I would still read the book again.
Elephants, Past & Present JLI - Avalon, NJ This is a Non Fiction Book. It tells you abou the Elephants that have existed in the past, the ones around now, in the present. There have been lots and lots of different kinds of elephants. This book is very cool. You have to read it.
Up AD - Avalon This was a fun book to read. It is about a retired salesman, Carl, decided to attach thousands of helium balloons to his house and begins an adventure to South America. Along the way he meets a childhood hero and realizes he is not as the man he thought he was. This was disappointing to Carl but he continued on his adventure. It is a really nice story with happiness, sadness, and meaningful messages.
