Non-Fiction Revew: Weird But True! 10
by National Geographic Kids
I read through the entire book in just a half hour, fascinated with every wacky statement and attracted to each page by the stunning photos.

Book Review: Maude March on the Run!
by Audrey Couloumbis
I loved this sequel to the “Misadventures of Maude March”! The story is told from Sallie’s point of view, and she has some witty commentary about all the crazy situations she and her sister fall into. The dialogue is snappy and funny, and the characters have a lot of depth and development.
There is not a boring moment in this entire book! The plot moves quickly from adventure to adventure, with some mystery and suspense to spice things up in between. I could barely put it down!

He guides us through the various art styles, and discovers a new friend at the end of the book. His expressions are so cute, and he adds a little flair to the story!
