This is day three of reviews that I had finished at the end of the school year and misplaced. Hopefully I will feel well enough to post the last four tomorrow. It took me forever to get these up. I'd type one and have to lay down.
Fart Book: Farting Pirates – Samantha Foster
This was a real cute book. I’m
not sure how I ended up with a bunch of books about farts , but I can tell you that my
grandkids love them. Want to find out how Peter helped his friends? Read the book.
Kaity the Clown – Samantha Foster
The Boy Who Farted and Flew to the Moon – Ivan Offolbot
Tommy is a young boy who loves to fart.
He is so passionate about farting that he gives them names. His mom doesn’t like all of the farting and
takes him to the doctor, changes his diet but nothing works. Tommy decides to see if he can produce a fart
powerful enough to make him fly. He
fills up on all of the gassy foods he can find puts on his helmet for safety
and lets out the biggest fart he has ever produced. It works.
He flies all the way to the moon.
There is a problem. He has to get
back to earth. He meets an alien on the
moon who feeds him all kinds of things to help him build up gas to produce
another fart. But, Tommy forgets to aim
for the earth and ends up on Mars. Now
he has an even bigger problem. I can’t
wait to read the sequel to see what the
author does with this character. It was
great reading it to my grand-daughter.
It gave us the opportunity to predict what might happen in the next
book. Very cute.
Blueberry Bubble Gum – Mahamad Ali ElFakir
Tom T's Hat Rack: A Story About Paying It Forward - Michele Spry
This is a wonderful book that I plan to read to my sixth graders at the beginning of the year. By the time they finish their first unit they will have completed a service project of their own. This is the story of a young girl given a summer assignment to write an essay about something they did over the summer that changed their lives. Shelby spends each afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. T. They have taken care of her since she was a baby. She is excited to tell them about her summer assignment. Mr. T is excited to tell Shelby about a project he wants Shelby to help him complete. The catch is he is not going to tell her what it is until the end. Mr. T is a cancer survivor and while going through treatment he realized there were no hats for the patients who had lost their hair. He plans on building hat racks, delivering them and placing hats on them for the patients to take. Shelby helps him and then creates a project of her own to go along with his. This should be read at the beginning of each year to students of all ages. The reading may be simple but the message is for all ages.
