Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now Book Review

 

Title: Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now
Author: Lauren Child
Age of Reviewer: 10 Years Old 

Favorite Character:
I like Clarice Bean because she has a normal life like everyone else, and she's really funny.  She usually gets in trouble from her teacher at school because she just doesn't pay attention.  Her friend, Betty, moves away to a different place on the other side of the world and Clarice Bean misses her.  That's like me, missing one of my friends who moved to California.

Why I liked this book:
 I liked that Clarice Bean reads Ruby Redford books and kind of acts like a spy a little.  She heard talking behind the bike shed and she was listening to what they were saying without them knowing she was there.  Then she ran off because she heard a bully's voice and she thought something was happening, but she was wrong.  It was very spy-like.

Why I didn't like this book:
This book is thicker than the first Clarice Bean book so it took a long time for me to read it.

Baby Mouse Cupcake Tycoon Book Review

Title: Baby Mouse Cupcake Tycoon
Author: Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm
Illustrator: Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm
Age of Reviewer: almost 10 Years Old 

Favorite Character:
I like Baby Mouse because she is funny and she has problems in school that she tries to figure out.  The other character I like is the narrator which is always talking about what's happening around Baby Mouse.  Sometimes the narrator is funny.

Why I liked this book:
I liked it when Baby Mouse has fund raiser and sells cupcakes and isn't doing super good at it.  She tries to figure out good ways to sell cupcakes, and there's this mean girl named Felicia and she has all these things to sell cupcakes, so Baby Mouse tries to make posters and stuff for selling cupcakes.  But then she does a corner cupcake stand and she has a slogan that says "one cupcake = one book" and she ended up selling the most cupcakes.

Why I didn't like this book:
I liked all of it.

Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid Book Review

Title: Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid
Author: Megan McDonald
Illustrator: Peter H. Reynolds
Age of Reviewer: 8 Years Old 



Favorite Character:
My favorite character was Stink because he worried a lot about shrinking and their class pet (which was a lizard).  When he worried it made the story more interesting.

Why I liked this book:
I read this book two times because it was funny.  The funniest part was when he got a funny mirror for James Madison Day and he looked at the Abraham Lincoln side he thought he had grown taller.

Why I didn't like this book:
I wish there was more comics in it, because I really like the comics that Stink draws.
