Lizette Book Review

Book Review

I am going to writ a book review Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Once upon a time in a far far away there was a king named the prince and a woman told the prince. The village a beautiful girl loved to read and her named was belle. One day belle crossed the town square. Belle went to town to buy book. A man that want to marry belle NEXT she cried running for home. Belle father went to go some where it was cold and fog soon they got lost. Belles father herd something and it was a wolf where the fog was last. He went into the home. He said hello he called. Belle kissing the beast and he is a human.

    In my opinion Beauty and the Beast is a good book because it said. Belle love to read all kinds of books and 3 girls like the man that is a good book. To read The End.

The Girl Who Circumnavigated...

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making

by Catherynne M. Valenti (2011)

Full of interesting creatures and people, a spunky, resourceful heroine, very Alice in Wonderland-like. I like books that I can hear myself reading to a class; even though the vocabulary in high, the story has a captivating tone and many reading levels would be able to follow along.

Rump

Rump

by Liesl Shurtliff (2013)

Orphaned "Rump" must find his real name and find his own destiny, amid greedy kings, trolls, feisty friends, magical aunts, and a stubborn donkey. Cute details, funny scenes, interesting characters (love to read more about his friend "Red"), and bad guy situations that keep the peril coming. The last chapters were slightly disappointing, what felt like a build up to action filled climax tended to get bogged down in Rump's inner turmoil/debate/reflection as he figures out who he is and what he needs to do. But overall, very enjoyable.

Someone needs to get a collection together of all the "True Story of..." fairy tale books and tv shows. We've been watching "Once Upon a Time" and the boys like figuring out which character is who.

The Magician's Elephant

The Magician's Elephant

by Kate DiCamillo (2009)

Old fashioned, in a good way -- beautiful illustrations, magic, soldiers, orphans finding/being found by childless couple... It really does have an old time fairy tale feel to it, and the art is a big part of it (almost has a Hugo Cabret look).
