Peter notices many things have changed around his house. His parents paint his old cradle, high chair and crib in pink and give them to his baby sister.

  • Analysis Of Dr. Seuss's Go Dog

    1149 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dr. Seuss 's Go, Dog. Go, was a book I remember reading a lot (probably because I loved dogs so much). When I was younger I used to go to my aunt 's house during the summer, and my grandmother would always be there. She enjoyed reading, so she made me read a book a week, whether it was from the library or from the books on the shelves at my aunt 's house. I did not enjoy going over there to read, especially since it was summer, but I did get rewarded after finishing a book with a game of Guess Who? with my grandmother.

  • Mike Mc Clintock: A Literary Analysis

    873 Words  | 2 Pages

    Not having much knowledge of this type of children’s literature I decided to read one of her stories to include in the discussion and have become more educated on the types of books she is reading. Dogs of War by Shelia Keenan focuses on the military dogs who serve during World War I, World War II and Vietnam. The storyline of third story in the book tells the story of a boy who moves to a new place, gets a new dog and discovers a solider living near by who is struggling after the war. They start to interact with the dog and the solider begins to open up about the hardship of war and his military dog Sheba. The illustrations by Nathan Fox really capture the emotions of the solider and the pain he is dealing with along with the war setting in Vietnam. The audience for this book is geared for boys, but will appeal to dog lovers like my daughter. If it is appropriate for anyone under 9 or 10 is still in question. It is a heavy topic and it does include soldiers dying and war

  • Maria Had A Little Llama

    419 Words  | 1 Pages

    The first book that I chose was, Maria Had A Little Llama by Angela Dominguez. This book was a twist on the classic nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb. It had every page of the rhyme in both Spanish and English. I think this is a good way to introduce another language to young children because it is a rhyme and story that the children are familiar with. Although the story was a little bit different than the original nursery rhyme, it has an adorable twist where the llama follows Maria to school. Maria Had A Little Llama received the Pura Belpre Honor for her Illustrations. She was born in Mexico City and grew up in Texas. Her website is http://www.angeladominguezstudio.com/.

  • The Importance Of Reading And Writing

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    Books that make me want to continue on to the next sentence and keep me wanting to know more. One of my favorite books is the Outsiders by S.E Hinton. Even though it was a must read book during my seventh grade year. It is by far one of the best books that I have read and I can read it over and over again. I am not the type of person that’ll just look up books to read or go to Barnes and Noble, grab a book and sit with a cup of coffee from Starbucks, and read. That is not me. I do not like reading, I do not like sitting there reading words, it honestly puts me to sleep. In the last 12 months I’ve read one book, Pride and Prejudice, because it was required for summer reading. But, what I do enjoy doing is writing. I’ve always loved to sit down and write stories and let my creative side come out. I have entered many creative writing contests and have had two poems published in the Creative Communication: A Celebration of Today’s Writers book.
