Sadly I do not think that books will still be that popular  Only because there are already kindles and all those other types on e-reader things. I also don't really believe that there will be a type of trampoline that can read your weight to make you bounce higher.

Bye Guys! 

I hope everyone has an awesome smmer! It only lasts so long :) 

PS I forgot to how to make a vokki sorry:)

• Imagine that you are a reporter who is interviewing a character in the novel (Betti, Mrs. Buckworth, Mr. Buckworth, George)- what questions would you ask?  Then imagine you are the character - what answers would you give?
  
  
  
  


• Question for Mrs. Buckworth: How did you feel when Lucy broke her ankle, do you think it was Betti's fault? 


• When Betti does not include Lucy in her circus games, are you angry with Betti for not including her? 


• Out of all the things that happend at day camp, which one did you think was the worst? 


• Do you think Betti is a bad influence for George? 


• Like a mother, do you find that Betti's circus camp in the mud in your backyard is destroying the look of your backyard? Or do you encourage Betti to use her imagenation? 

• Answers: 


• I do not think that it was Betti's fault that my dear Lucy broke her ankle but I would like Betti to think more about the dangers that could occur when they are playing together. 


• I am a little disappointed that she cannot include my little Lucy but I understand that she finds Barbies and things strange as there are no such dolls where she is from.  I think that if Lucy doesn't use her Barbies and the dolls Betti makes they should be able to play together.


• Ummmmm, well I found them all quite bad. But if I had to choose one out of all the incidents, it would be the one where she walks on top of the monkey bars and falls. 


• I do think that Betti is a little tough on George when he does things that they may not do in their country. I do think though that she cannot be faulted for disagreeing and not approving of our lifestyle. She is allowed to have her own opinion.


• I definitely like my yard to look clean and organized like every mother but I do encourage her imagination because I do not want her to lose it.

     For my PICFIC I chose Wild Girl & Gran. The characters in this book are Wild Girl, Gran and the mum. Wild Girl and Gran share this very magical bond. Wild Girl and Gran both have very strong imaginations. This book takes place in the woods behind the girls house, in the girls favourite tree. I thought that the part when Gran gets sick and Wild Girl is not allowed into the hospital and when she does get in, she is, I guess you could say frightened with all the tubes and things attached to Gran and she won't answer to Wild Girl it is really all quite sad. I learned from this story that people do understand how your feeling sometimes even if they don't show it. Like when Wild Girl refuses her mothers help because she doesn't think that her mom understands how sad the loss of Gran is. Then she finds out that her mother did love gran just as much as she did. I would not recommend this book because I found it very confusing with all the imagination parts. But some people might not find that confusing even though I thought it was. I also thought that it was over all a very strange story line and very sad.

Melvil Dewey is a man who lived a very extraordinary life but sadly is not alive today. He was a librarian who invented a classification system used for books. It is called the Dewey Decimal System. The system includes grouping books into 10 categories. This system in useful because it helps make libraries more organized and helps you when you need a specific book you know which section to go to. Some examples of categories are, non-fiction, fiction,language and fine arts. A category that I have used this year is the non-fiction ( social sciences)  section when I checked out books on my country.

Look another pic of Micheal Phelps !!!

Trenton Lee Stewart and Rick Riordan are the two authors who will be coming to kids books.

 The book I would like to read is "Only the Good Spy Young'' by Ally Carter. I would like to read this book because Mrs. McVey recommended it to me and it sounds very intriguing. When the girl Cammie  goes to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women (spies) danger follows her. Interesting ! I am so going to read this. 

(sorry I don't think this is the first book)
