Review by 5th Grade Student

This is a book about a dog that is being starved so when Judd Travers poaches (that's when you hunt out of season) and shoots a deer his dog gets it.  Then a boy a named Marty finds out that this dog Shiloh is being starved and steels the dog and hides the him in the forest.  Now Marty is hiding Shiloh in the forest and feeding him scraps of food from the dinner table. The season is changing so he decides to tell his family he found a dog in the forest and it's been starved.  After each meal Marty fed Shiloh so in a week you could not see rib cage any more.  But then Judd Travers stops by and sees the dog.  He realizes Marty has Shiloh.  How will Marty get Shiloh back?

Review By Travis, 5th Grade Student

Charlie heard on the radio that there were going to be Golden Tickets inside Wonka Chocolate Bars (only 5).  And if someone wanted to go to the Wonka Chocolate Factory with Willy Wonka they needed to get one of the Golden Tickets .  Charlie found a gold ticket in a Wonka bar. So he and Grandpa were able to visit the world famous Wonka factory.  While on the tour, one boy was sucked into a chocolate tube.  Another little boy became small.  What will happen to Charlie?  Read this book to find out!

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Series     
By Laura Ingalls Wilder

Review by Danielle,4th Grade Student

I enjoy the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books.  In order they are:

Little House in the Big Woods
Little House on the Praire  
Farmer Boy
On the Banks of Plum Creek
On the Shores of Silver Lake
The Long Winter
Little Town on the Praire
These Happy Golden Years
The First Four Years

These books are about Laura and her family.  The people in her family are: Caroline (Ma), Charles (Pa), Mary, Laura, Carrie, and Grace.  Three reasons I like these books are:
1. They explain and use details.
2. I love history books especially Pioneer and Oregon Trail books.
3. They are exciting. 

I like the Laura Ingalls Wilder series and you might too!
