</div>Monster and the little boy were riding the bus. The bus driver stopped because there was a dog in the way and everyone tried to move it. Look for this book to see how monster helps.<br />
<br />
I gave this book five stars because it was very entertaining. I thought it was funny that the dog wouldn't move.<br />

The Tosis family has a dog. Their dog's name is Hally. Their dog's breath does not smell good. Read this book to find out how stinky breath can be a good thing. I gave this book four stars because it is funny. It is a good reading level for first graders. It is a good book!</div><br />

<br />
The setting of this book is the kitchen. The book is telling you how to make a hotdog, like put a bun first, then put some toppings on it. I gave this book two stars because it was a little too easy for me, but I still kind of liked it because it is about hotdogs and I like hotdogs. This book would be good for kindergarden and first grade or people who like hotdogs.<br />

<br />
This book is about Jigsaw Jones and Mila. They are second grade detectives. They are on the case of a stolen necklace. While Jigsaw is looking for the stolen necklace a haunted scarecrow walks towards him. Now he has two mysteries to solve.<br />
<br />
I gave this book three stars because it was good but there wasn't too much action. I thought it would be scarier but it mostly just talked about the case. I recommend third and fourth graders read this book.<br />

<i>Giraffes Can't Dance</i> is a great book about Gerald the giraffe. Even though he is not a very good dancer, Gerald goes to a dance party in the jungle. When Gerald tries to dance, all of the other animals laugh at him. Gerald really wants to dance, but he doesn't know how to do it well. Read this book to find out how Gerald solves his problem.<br />
<br />
This picture book has a great rhythm, wonderful illustrations and a good message. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good story.<br />
