He goes out to the market, out to the farmer, ad around town while Albuquerque tries and figures out what he's going to make.

Today I want to Fly! by Mo Williams is about a Piggie who wants to fly and is determined, but Piggies friend Gerald the elephant says that Piggie can't fly. So Piggie tries everything to make him/her fly: Jumping off Gerld, being scared, etc.

I think that this book is good for introduction to early learning of animals, determination, and the impossible. A great book to teach children that they can achieve what they want if they jut keep on trying. The illustrations are simple and easy for children to understand what is going just by looking at the pictures. I highly recommend this book.

An excellent book about 2 best friends, one is Jewish and the other is not, live their lives
through the war in 1943. Annemarie and her family help her best friend Ellen Rosen and her family from being captured from the Nazi's.
This book can teach history, culture, diversity, develops acceptance, awareness, and you learn about yourself. It also stimulates conversation and questions.
I can't say anything bad about the book but that I enjoyed every chapter of the book and there was not one boring point.

A Wrinkle in Time- Madeleine L'Engle

A book I highly recommend for young readers ages 12 and up. The book is about a girl named Meg and her intelligent5 year old brother Charles Wallace who travel back in time to find their missing father. Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which, friends of Charles, turn out to be transcendental beings who transport Meg, Charles, and Meg's friend Calvin through the galaxy. Mrs Whatsit and her friends guide them along the journey to battle The Black Thing who has captured their father. I enjoyed reading this book very much because it's exciting, interesting, and leaves a lot to the imagination. It also stimulates conversation and questions, touches emotions, and definitely a book all children can relate to.
