More fantastic examples of the third graders book reviews:

The Word Eater by Baylee
    
     Have you ever seen a worm that when he eats words they disappear all over?  Well, in the book The Word Eater by Mary Amoto, this fiction book will blow your mind.  Literally, BLOW YOUR MIND!
     First, Lurner Chance finds Fip.  Next, Fip eats Max thumb tacks.  Then, Fip devoured the words Jay's star.  Last Fip meets Polly.  What will Polly tell Fip to do?
     I recommend this book to 3-5 graders.  The lesson I learned was that you can't get to power hungry.  Will Fip stay how he is?

 Little House in the Big Woods by Willow

     Have you seen a little 6 year old girl make her own toys and milk a cow?  Well in Little House in the Big Woods Laura and Mary do it every day, well, sometimes.  Little House in the Big Woods is by Laura Ingalls Wilder, she is in all nine of the Little House books and they are all about her.  Little House in the Big Woods is an auto-biography.  The characters in the little house are Pa, Ma, Mary, Laura and Carrie.  The setting is in the Wisconsin woods and a little log house.
     First, the Ingall's family cuts wheat and makes cheese and butter.  Next, Mary and Laura make paper dolls and play with them.  Then the Ingalls family goes to church, eats cold food and did not play or work, they just read the bible.  Last, the Ingall's family goes to a party at Grandpa Ingalls house.
     I recommend this book for 3rd grade to 6th grade.  The lesson I learned was to milk a cow from the right side or you will get kicked.  So do you want to read Little House in the Big Woods?  If you like this book read the other 8 Little House books.  So what do you think happens to Laura?

Helen Keller and the Courage in the Dark by Jade

     Lets face it, Helen is a naughty pants because of her blindness and because of her deafness but she likes her darkness.  Helen Keller and the Courage in the Woods has the author go by Johanna Harwitz.  Johanna loves to write non-fiction biographies.  This takes place in Alabama and Boston.  Helen's teacher is called Anne Silverman.  She is very nice to Helen.
     First, Helen got sick and her parents got worried becuase they thought she might die.  Next, when the sickness went it left 2 illnesses (deafness and blindness).  Then, when she got older she was really hard to handle.  Last, they find someone who can help.
     I would recommend this book to 2-3 graders.  The lesson I learned was to never ever give up.  Can Anne cure Helen?  You're going to need to read the book to find out!

Igraine The Brave by Mia

     Have you ever heard of a knight?  Especially a 12 year old girl knight?  Igraine The Brave is a great book about Igraine a 12 year old with a big story to tell.  At Pimpernal Castle, Albert, Igraine and Igraine and Igraine's parents (Sir Lamorak the Witty and the Fair Melisande) get a horrible message saying Osmund The Greedy is going to attack Pimpernail!
     First, Igraine's parents turn into pigs!  Next, Igraine goes on a quest for giant hairs for the potion to turn them back.  Then, they try to turn them back.  Last, Igraine fights Osmund The Greedy.  Will she win?
     I recommend this book to 3-5th grade because this is a fun but challenging book.  I learned that even if all hope is lost don't stop being brave!
