This is a book I did not relate to. It is about a boy named Will who has to babysit his little brother Steve as their mother is out and their grandma has fallen asleep. Steve does all sorts of wild and crazy things.

I don’t think my baby brother is like that at all. He is really sweet and does not do any of the things like Steve does.

So I did not enjoy this book too much, although some parts were funny.

Last night, I read a book about plants that eat insects!! I always thought it was the other way around and it was a big surprise to me that there are actually some plants that eat insects.
It seems that the places where they grow are not very soil rich and hence they need to do this to survive.
Some of the plants are the Venus fly trap, the pitcher plant and Bladderwort. It was fascinating to read how they trap the insects.

My mother told me that when she was in school, she had made some insect eating plant models for her science project. She even showed me some pictures of it.

I read this book last night. It was a very good book. It is about a girl named Monica, who is around 10 years old. She used to have a friend called Katie since kindergarten, but suddenly Katie starts talking ill of Monica to all the other girls. Monica is very confused as to why she is behaving this way.
Katie turns so bad, that Monica suffers from stomach pains and hates going to school.
Then Monica’s mom comes up with a great solution. She tells Monica to stand up for herself and let Katie know that real friends do not treat each other this way. At the end of this book, Monica and Katie are not longer friends and Monica makes new friends.

My mother has always told me to stand up for myself and not to do anything I am not comfortable doing. She always tells me to speak up my mind and not be afraid that others might not like me because of it.

I love Amelia Bedelia books! She is so funny and takes everything literally. My mother explained to me about this. In this book, she wants a new bike as her friend from school has a fancy brand new bike. So she does all sorts of odd jobs to collect money for her bike. When I grow big, I want to earn money and gift my mother an electric car!
She gets into all sorts of trouble and at the end the mayor presents her a new bike for all her sincere efforts. I read this book in 2 days, although it was a big book. I loved it.
In one part of the book, she is working in a pie shop and the owner says “Get a piece of pie and step on it”!! Amelia being Amelia goes to the counter, gets the pie and stomps on it with her feet. That part was so funny! I laughed out loud.
I plan to borrow some books from the library with Amelia Bedeila on them as I have seen they have lots of it.

I just finished reading Magic Treehouse book #48. I really loved the riddle Jack and Annie had to solve.
The riddle is, it is a food that is as tough as wood and the color of sand. It is backed with love, and given to those who lost their land.
We later found out that this food is “panda bread”.
I also learnt that the pandas are threatened with extinction (a new word I learnt! ) and if we want them to be around, we need to care for them.
It was very exciting toward the end when Jack and Annie rescue the pandas.
I loved this book very much!

The second book I am currently reading is Book #48, “A Perfect Time for Pandas” in the Magic Treehouse series. I love all the magic tree house books and I have read most of them. I had received this one as a gift on my birthday, but had not read it until now.

Jack and Annie have to find a certain kind of food–the fourth thing needed to save Merlin’s beloved penguin, Penny. I have a feeling they will be traveling to China to solve this mystery. This is a big book, so I will post my next update once I finish reading it, which will be in about 4-5 days.

Thank you again everybody!
