Caring for your cat is a good book to make you take care of a cat. I think it is a good learning book. I think second to fifth grade should read this book.

Junie B. Jones First Grader Boss of Lunch 

I like this book.  Junie pours corn on her brothers head. I thought that was funny. She had a new lunch box. Her new lunch box has birds on it. She got to help out. These are some reasons why I like this book . You would like this book if you like funny things.

The story Leopards is a great book. It is about many things like what they prey on and what preys on them. The story is also about how a leopard is formed. That is what the story Leopareds is about. I love the story Leopards because I love big cats and because it is informational.  I think people who like animals should read this book.

It is about a girl detective Nancy Drew. I think 3rd grade and up should read it. I think it is the best book I ever read!! The way she solved this mystery. I cried when she was on the edge of a cliff. But she is used to it. Nancy found a dog in a tree!! Wow! I think this story has a lesson….Do not be a girl detective!
