Have you ever read the Three Bily Goat Gruff?, If you have and you liked that book, you would most likely like the Three Fishing Brothers Gruff. This quality fiction picture book, is written by Ben Galbraith, and he mainly does illustrations for other writers.

The Three Fishing Brothers catch all the fish in there fishing area. They try to go to a different fishing spot, but there is a guard, Can they trick the guard into letting them past?

I don't think this book is interesting for most people, infact it's kinda boring. This book suggests that a whale can talk, because there is dialog for the whale. The book was not a waste of time but it's boring. I recommend this book to people who like boring books. :P

Billionaire boy

Can money really buy anything? This book is about a boy name Joe Spud who was on of the top ten richest kids but with all those money he's still missing on thing .............. he's missing a friend. Read this revolting book written by David Walliams he has also written other fictional chapter books such as Gangsta Granny, Demon Dentist, Mr Stink and more interesting books.

"Money can buy diamonds but money can't buy happiness". Well what do you think about it? I think this statement is correct. This book has really good values , i would recommend this to everyone. As much as i love the whole book there's still my favorite part , well my favorite parts was when his dad realized that his money is nothing compared to his son. And also there's my favorite character which is Bob who was sometimes called Blob 'coz he was fat basically and also people in the school tease him.

This book is really interesting and instructive too. It teaches that money has it';s limitations and money is worthless compared to friends and family. I could see that some people choose money instead of caring for others well they've made a wrong decision. Well anyways back to reviewing the book! If you ave read some parts of the book it will make you wanna read and read and read until you finish the whole story , well for my opinion anyways. So start reading now and see what happens next.

Big Nate is an awesome book that everyone should've read already. If you haven't read Big Nate I'm sure you've heard of diary of a wimpy kid which is written by Jeff Kinney,he happens to also be the author of Big Nate. Big Nate is a random and funny fiction book that is garunteed to give you a laugh! Big Nate is a hilarious book about Nate and his friends Ted and Francis on their weird journey in middle school. This book is so entertaining and random,I'm sure everyone can relate to Nate's thoughts. After I read Big Nate I realised I'm not the only one that's crazy or weird,or maybe I am the only one. Big Nate is suitable for anyone as long as they enjoy reading comics. It's such an amazing book that it would persuade people who don't like comics to like them again. Without a dought you should definitely read Big Nate, after all it is amazing!

Do you want to go on an adventure? Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up the ladders of the treehouse. But it’s not just a treehouse, I say it is a 65-storey treehouse, well read the book and you will find out. This book is written by Andy Griffiths, and is illustrated by Terry Denton. The author has written many other books like Just Tricking, Just Stupid and many other books that I can’t say because he has written 26 other books which means that he has written 28 books in total. This might be a comic for you, but for me it is a fiction story.

my favourite part of the 65-storey treehouse is when they fall into a trap door and find out what they are sitting in. aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!
what happens next? READ THE BOOK WILL YOU! In this book Terry’s invention goes wrong and the goes everywhere, when i mean everywhere i mean it! there are no bad guys and good guys in this story but the characters are andy, terry, mr big nose, inspector bubblewrap and much more that i don’t know the names of or you have to read the book, since it is just a treehouse with a invention that goes wrong.

this book is a fantastic read. it may have a weird complication and ending but altogether it was an amazing book. terry doesn't know how to fix or solve the promblem. this happens in other books like" A Waltz for Matilda"! after i read this book i wanted to build a treehouse. so help them out!

Have you ever thought what life was like in the 1900's? A waltz for Matilda can tell you. A waltz for Matilda is written by Jackie French, she has written over 140 books. The book is a fiction book but it is based on the 1900's. It has 59 chapters and 462 pages.

12 year old Matilda O'Halloran only has one living relative left (or does she). She is determined to find them. Join her on an amazing adventure through drought and crazy weather. The characters are Matilda, her parents, Aunt Anne,Mr Drinkwater, James, Betram,Mrs Ellsmore, Bluey, Mr Gotobed, Mr Doo,Ah Ching, Curry and Rice and Hey You and so many more I won't mention or this book reveiw would make you bored.

The book is a great read. It was exiting at times and boring at others but over all it was truely amazing.Matilda's life is based on the song waltzing Matilda. Farmers used to call their billy their Matilda and when they were on the road looking for work they called it waltzing. Altogether they call it waltzing their Matilda. I used to think life in the 1900's was bad but it wasn't as bad as I thought. A waltz for Matilda is a n amazing book and you should read it.

Smurf me an opener no it's called bottle cracker! Smurf war! Read smurf vs. smurf by PapercutZ this author has written other books such as King smurf. It's a fictional picture book.

I like the part when the northern and southern smurfs started to fight. The good guys are the smurf and Gargamel is the bad guy.

The book is quite interesting because the language they speak is weird and how the trouble gets more worse every time. The problem is that they speak quite differently on the southern side so they argued and fought. There is a bigger problem though , Gargamel came and attacked . I recommend this book to other readers.

If you like the movie you'll LOVE the book, Life of Pi is an amazing read. The Life of Pi was written by Yann Martel in a realistic fictional way using bizarre ideas like a carnivorous island in a way.

The story follows a boy named Piscine Patel in a journey of his life. Piscine got his name from the Greek word Pi when he was sick of people making fun of his name in school because it sounded like pissing. When he got older his family's business was going down hill so they decided to sell their animals overseas. But when he was journeying in the middle of the sea a terrible storm appeared, destroying the ship and sinking it, leaving Pi on a boat with a zebra, a hyena, a tiger named Richard Parker and a male orangutan. From there, the story follows Pi journeying the ocean and losing his sanity.

When I was reading this book I was amazed and hooked onto this book. This book was based on real events but penned in a well written manner. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is pressured by their parents to read a chapter book.

Abracadabra! Harry Potter and the philosophers stone is in an interesting fiction chapter book that keeps you reading. Harry Potter was written by J.K Rowling she has also written all the other books in the Harry Potter series.

Harry Potter is eleven years old and lives with his uncle and aunt. Harry is forced to live up n in a cramped cubboard filled with spiders. Until one day, Harry gets a letter telling him he has been selected for a wizardry school, Hogwarts. But Voldemort a evil wizard may ruin everything.

This book is of the the highest quality and I recommend it to all children and adults. Harry Potter is extremely detailed and there is not one boring sentence in the whole book. It is filled with interesting funny characters so even if you have seen the movie you must definitely read Harry Potter and the philosophers stone.

A new friend, a party and the worlds best scavenger hunt. What could be better. Everything, that's what. In Big Nate Lives It Up Nate befriends Breckenridge Puffingnton the third and Nate is bored out of his mind. Written by Lincoln Pierce , this fabulous graphic novel will excite you every second.

Nate makes a new friend who's a new student and an old enemy, Breckenridge aka B-dawg isn't exactly Nate's type especially facing the fact that he's a wimp, he likes flowers and worst of all egg salad. However once Nate figures out his true colors It's astonishing. Anyway PS38 is 100 years old and is celebrating its centennial which according to Francis with the book of facts is a hundred year birthday(BORING). Anyway to celebrate, the are holding a huge party (YAY) and thats when Breckenridge shows his new colours.

I reccomend this book to ages 6+ and it will make you laugh out loud.

Why is there a tree in my boat, Why is there a washing machine in my boat as a matter of fact why is there a family of raccoons in my washing machine that is in my boat???
The Diary of a wimpy kid is a fictional series that has a great range of books and the long haul is one of the newest attractions to diary of a wimpy kid chapter books. This series include
Dog days
Cabin fever
Hard luck
And a lot more.
And the author Jeff Kinney is a fantastic writer and illustrator.
I quote the Washington post “One of the most successful children's series ever”
One of my favorite parts is as mentioned in the hook is how Greg and rodrick
Play tricks on passing drivers by holding up a sign saying
HELP THESE PEOPLE ARE KIDNAPPING US!!!!!!
And they got pulled over by the police.
If you're wondering it was their actual parents
There are no bad guys in this series, but the characters Are
Greg the middle child
Manny the toddler
Rodrick the older brother bully
Dad and mums names are not mentioned in book.
I would recommend this book for 6+
If you're parents don't like it give it to your grandma

Do you what to read something magnificent or something that will make you cry well this book will do just that.WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE SEA is written by Jeannie baker the book is a fiction picture book and it's written with beautiful descriptive word describing the atmosfear

My Favorite part of the book is when he is talking about how he would go with his dad to a secret spot in the forest they know about.
The story is about a son and a dad going out to a spot in the forest that is special to them and the son goes to discover new places like a tree that's hollow, while the dad is fishing dinner then the father asks the son if that can go home but the son is worried to leave because he thinks someone is going to find that place and ruin it.

The book is very interesting and memorable is has very little words on each page but the words are descriptive.
This book some people can relate to because if you find a place you love you don't want anyone to find it it right but he is worried not only that he thinks they'll find it he doesn't want people to ruin it or to build buildings on it or litter on it.

This is why i believe you should read this book. i rate this book a 8 out of 10

All about the weather

If your looking for q book that discusses about the weather well "All about the weather" is the book for you , it's an interesting yet boring to read book. It tells you how the weather works , how it happens and the instruments used. The book is written about Richard Whitaker who used to be a weather forecaster.

This is an interesting book is really helpful when it comes to understanding how the weather works. In fact I would recommend reading it. (not really)

Hey! Want to know something about Mars? K so this book has no Aurthor this book hasn't written other books and it is a nonfiction science book.

My favourite part is when a person found a face on Mars. Later a sciencetist figured out that that this face is suppose to be a hill, this book is similair to the book of space.

Through amazing footage and stunning photographs, this DVD book uncovers the magic life of the emperor penguins, the worlds largest penguin; catch a glimpse of the emperor penguins as they scamper across ice. Come for a wander through the emperor penguins kingdom, and experience a year in the life of these amazing creatures. These amazing creatures are reported by DR Kirkwood. this type of book includes the biology of the emperor penguins.

In the chapters of this book they name what the creatures do all year long. The most interesting thing about the penguins are their call.
"Each penguin has a unique call. mates learn their partner's call so they can find each other among the thousands of the penguins at the colony."

This book may be short but has many interesting facts. This book is an interesting read. i didn't know all about what they do but now I do.
In the cold places in the north or south all creatures leave for a warmer climate. Meanwhile one creature comes to shore.

"I packed the few things I possessed and early one morning we set out on a journey westward to my new residence." Think about that sentence, do we just pack our things and go? No, we'll probably not. We would know before hand. See great people might not have had great lives. A long walk to freedom part one book one is written by Nelson Mandela (rolihlahla) , it was first published in Great Britain in 1994 by Little, Brown and company. Nelson Mandela has written 130 books I won't name them al because that will bore you. The book is a biography.

A long walk to freedom part one book one is about Nelson Mandela's childhood. He goes from about to inherit chieftancy to definetly not inheriting chieftancy. Some of my favourite parts of information include Nelson Mandela was one of 13, 9 sisters and 3 brothers, Nelson Mandela's dad used to be chief but he got fired by the British government and Nelson Mandela's people are in groups of North, South, East and West. There is a book 2 but I have read it yet but I reckon it will be as good as book one

If you like to learn pretty much nothing in a non-fiction book this is for you. The author of tortoises and turtles is Sally Morgan she has written over 250 titles. This zoological book was published in 2006.

This book talked about turtles in danger from fishing nets, where turtles lay their eggs, different types of turtles and tortoises and how they get around,

This book was just too boring it was really hard to read as it had too much information in one sentence. I can not remember the probably
interesting facts because it would explain words that didn't need explaining and didn't explain words that needed explaining. None of the paragraphs connected. And overall the facts were interesting but the ways of writing it was not good. I do not recommend this book to people who can not process more than four pieces of information in one sentance.

Lego, one of the most biggest toy companies out there and now there's a book telling you about everything Lego the origin, how they make the famous Lego brick and how they design the masterpieces that you build. This non-fiction book was made in 2012 and it's called "the Lego book". This book was written by Daniel Lipkowitz who to this day has not written another book.

I found this book very interesting because it turns out Lego was around before world war 2. This book tought me a lot about Lego which I like because Lego was my childhood and now I can make my own Lego so I don't have to waste my money.

My favourite part was when they showed you how they make the Lego bricks because I wanted to know how they do that.

I recommend this book if you're interested in Lego or if you just like Lego. The only thing wrong with this book is that there's hardly any pictures so... Don't give this book to nine years or younger.

Is your teacher very stupid and instead of teaching you about freshwater animals he makes you teach yourself, if so you should read Freshwater Critters, written by Michael Cermak and photos taken by Steve Parish and Michael Cermak. Freshwater Critters was first published in 2006, Michael and Steve have written several other zoology books.

Freshwater Critters cover freshwater animals and bugs like, the platypus who has a bill that is flexible,very sensitive and helps the platypus find it’s prey, the giant water bug which can walk, swim, dive and still be able to fly, The golden perch which disappointingly is an endangered species, and many other Freshwater creatures. I have watched many documentaries of freshwater animals, especially about the platypus, and I have seen many other books like freshwater critters in stores.

to me this book is very interesting to read and some facts were very easy to remember, i think this is mainly because how well structured all the information is. One part of the book brings up how freshwater creatures live and how they need clean water or else they can die, which brings up the topic that we pollute animals habitat causing them to suffer, or die.

The book is a long but interesting book. I think this because although it is long it has many interesting parts. The book is about Nelson Mandela's childhood. You will follow Nelson Mandela on a beautiful adventure through his life. It made me think that my life isn't actually as bad as I say it is. I actually didn't know about Nelson Mandela's life until I read this book, now I feel like I have learned a lot more about a political leader. I believe that a long walk to freedom book one part one is a fantastic read and you should read it.

Marco... Polo, the famous tall teller in a book! this book a bout Marcos discoveries and adventure stretched out and seen in Marco's eyes and a pro historian's eyes. I have know idea what the author's name is, all I know is that this book will bore you to death you would rather read a boring fiction book about Pat the bunny!

the book starts of to talk about marco's short voyage across the sea and finds himself in CHINA(DONALD TRUMP MATE!)and pleases a leader of Mongolia Genghis Khan. ^_^. later the book tells us a bout his days in prison and how he made a book a bout his adventures. But they weren't true LIAR!

This book is the worst and don't buy it, it leaves out sooooooooooo much important information and describes the tings that are reaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy boring. You don't even know who's the author!

This cookbook has been sitting on my Grandma's shelf for almost 15 years now, then she put it on my shelf. Until now, someone had been willing to pick this book up and use it (me)…..kind of. A little bit of this a little bit of that and….. PERFECT! The non-fiction book I have chosen to review is Low GI cookbook. Yes Low GI. Written by Louise Blare! I have no clue if she has written any other books at all! But this is a illustrated book.

I think that it is great how you have so many different choices to choose from. Either if it's banana bread to chocolate mousse or coconut cookies! Here is a line showing how easy and simple it is for coconut cookies! In a large bowl, beat the margarine and sugar until their light and fluffy. I 100% sure that there are books and games that are related to this cookbook. For cookbooks. Other cookbooks. For games. Cooking mama.

This is an interesting and easy book because it shows you how to make creations you have never made before! This book brings so many possibilities which to cook of course! This had affected me wanting to make some of these recipes. I used to think that this would bore me out of my mind by just by looking at the cover. You know what most people say. Don’t judge a book by its cover! But my opinion has changed on this book by me wanting to make some of these recipes!

This was an amazing book! I rate it 9/10 because I’m a kid. Maybe I might as well make some recipes myself! I hope you (reader) enjoyed this review and maybe you should take a look at this book!

Wands shooting out bursts of magic, not the magic that fairies us but wizard magic, and the wizard is Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a famous book series written by the all famous J.K Rowling, I currently own 6 of the books but the seventh and final book is called "The Deathly Hallows and I'm dying to own it. Currently I'm reading Goblet of Fire and I'm loving it, my favorite book so far is Camber of secrets, the end has such a big plot twist but my favorite movie is Prisoner of Azkaban. Prisoner of Azkaban has 22 chapters and 480 pages all together. These mind bending books are perfect for any class boy or girl that likes mystical adventure.
