I hope to see you all at the book fair tonight! Did you know that some people in history have burned books? Why do you think they do that? (Think of what books are... information!) What are some of the negatives of book burning? Did you know that many books are banned as well? For example, Alice in Wonderland was banned in China in the 30's.
On the book topic, what are your favorite books of all time? Share titles, authors, and a quick summary so that your classmates and I can read them if we want to. One of my favorites is Hatchet by Paulsen; we're currently reading that one. Another one of my favorite's is Bridge to Terabithia by Paterson, it's a wonderful book about two fifth graders, Jess and Leslie who become best of friends. There is a tragic accident that causes Jess to deal with some really tough issues.

I absolutely LOVE both of those books (even though we haven't finished Hatchet). My ALL-TIME favorite book is probably The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. It is the best book ever! Mrs. Yearta, I know you agree with me too. Also, I love the Tales of the Frog Princess. I need to get the other books! I got the first too books from Elena for my 10th birthday and I didn't read them until I started fifth. But ever since, I have been hooked!
OOOPSIES! I made a mistake, in the sentence that says 'I got the first *TWO* books'.
I want to the book fair to buy me some bookes I got Diary of a wimpy kid dog days. I got all of them and i read them all. They are go bookes.
I'm glad that you like your books, Josue. The book fair is so wonderful!
Allana, I'm glad that you liked the Witch of Blackbird Pond, you have no idea how awesome it is that you love that book (I feel like I hit a home run in suggesting that book to you!)Kit is one of those memorable characters that you will NEVER forget.
