My sister was looking for her planner so I helped her look for it and I found it. It made me happy to see her happy that she found it and she was happy that she found it because it is important to her.

My dad came home after getting the groceries and I went out and helped carry them in. My dad will see that I can help out and that I can be helpful in different ways around the house.

“Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress” is a book by Christine Baldacchino and illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant for 6-8 year old’s. It is a story about a boy who likes a lot of things. He likes Sunday’s because his mom makes pancakes and he likes school because he likes art, lunch time and especially centre time, where he can sing and play. He likes the dress up centre the most though. He loves to wear the tangerine dress and the clicky heels. But, he gets called names, and isn’t allowed to play with others, because isn’t normal for him to wear a dress. He has a somatic ache because he doesn’t want to go to school because he will get ridiculed for wearing a dress. His mom cheers him up with some apple juice and elephant books. He goes back to school and embraces who he is. The kids who play astronaut let him play.

The moral of the story is to embrace who you are and don’t let anyone change who you are. This is a great story for the age group it is intended to be for.

My sister was doing some homework and she needed some pencil crayons so I gave her mine. This will help get her homework finished and help her make good so she gets a good mark.

My mom decided to take me to Toronto with her as she had a conference. She took me to the raptors game and they had that T-shirt cannon and one t-shirt was blasted near my section and the man who caught it gave it to me. I decided to pass that shirt along to my sister because it is her birthday soon and she was upset about not going. I also wanted to pass along the act of kindness from that kind man to me to my sister. My sister will probably be happy that she got something from Toronto as she wanted to go.

This book called “Two” is written and illustrated by Kathryn Otoshi about a yellow two for 6 to 8 year old’s.

1 and 2 were best friends. They danced and played everyday together. Then 3 came along and he wanted to play with them. So 1 and 2 let him play with them. Then 3 took control of 1 and took him away. 2 got very upset and walked away. The other even numbers tried to cheer 2 up by saying odd’s are odd and the odd numbers got into an argument but 2 made them friends again and 3 was sorry that he stole 1 from him.

This story had a lesson that says, if you want a friend, don’t pull them away from their happiness just for you. Have fun all together. In my opinion, this was a great book for 6 to 8 year old’s.

“One” is a story about a blue dot by Kathryn Otoshi and illustrated by her as well.

Blue is a blue dot. There are other dots with other colours. Blue was envious of the other colours but Blue is happy with his appearance. But then there was Red. Red was very mean to Blue. Other colours like Yellow, told Blue that he was a nice colour, but they wouldn’t say it in front of Red. Then a gray colour came. He was shaped as a 1. He told funny jokes and made the other colours laugh. Red didn’t like that at all. He told the colours to stop laughing and they did. But 1 didn’t. 1 stood up to Red. Then, all of the other colours turned into numbers. Red hated that so he went and picked on Blue. Red got bigger and bigger and bigger. He was about to run over Blue then all the other colours stood up for him. Then Blue stood up for himself and became number 6. Red got really, really small and rolled away. But then, Blue offered him a place in the group. Then Red became number 7.

This story was really good. It had a good morale as it said to stand up to for your friends and yourself if you’re being bullied.                                                                                                           

“Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla” is a story for 7 to 10 year old’s by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas.

The other gorilla passed away so it was just Ivan alone. He watched the people while they were watching him as he was alone for 27 years. The citizens got angry and set protests and then was sent to Atlanta, Georgia.

The moral of the story is that when life gets you down, there is always someone to help you. This was a book that was fun, but serious at the same time.

“Nerdy Birdy Tweets” is a book for 5 to 8 year olds and it is by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Matt Davies.

        The moral of the story is to be careful what you post on social media because it can hurt you later so always be careful on the internet and that is a good message for kids.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Today in PB Blogs, we read “What Do You Do With An Idea” by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Mae Benson and it is a book for 7 to 11 year old’s.

This is about a boy with an idea. A really big idea. Everyone put him down saying “You can’t do it” and “It will never work” and the boy just ignored them. Everywhere he went the doubts followed him and they entered his head too as he doubted himself. Then the boy decided that he was going to go through with his idea no matter what others said to him. So he did. He went on his journey and suddenly, his idea came to life! He realized that if you have an idea, you can change the world.

This is a good moral as kids have ideas, but then they get shot down and that really hurts them as their ideas to them don’t mean anything so they stop their creativity and in this world we need creativity so it is a great lesson for this generation. This book was amazingly well made and would recommend it to everyone as it was a enjoyable read.
