We liked The Littlest Owl by Caroline Pitcher.  We have been studying owl, so this fiction story was so fun to read!  This is about a baby owl who is smaller than his brothers and sisters.   He has a hard time learning to fly.  Read the book to find out what happens when a storm comes.

We loved this book!  It is called Dory Story by Jerry Pallotta.  A little boy sails away on a dory even though his mom told him not to.  He sees lots of ocean animals eating each other.  He hopes  he does not get eaten!  There is a great surprise ending, but we won't tell you!

We liked Listen Buddy by Helen Lester, and we think you will like it too. In this book, Buddy is not a very good listener.  He ends up turning the wrong way and meets a Scruffy Varmint.  Leave us a note and tell us what you think of this book.
