Animal Farm
Everywhere
 By George Orwell "Orwell fills this little story with the kind of biting sarcasm that you will either love or hate, because he tells a truly brutal story about the animals on a farm that is meant to reflect the behavior of people in societies."  By Bruce Brooks "He's such a boy in how he deals with his emotions. I know I'm resorting to stereotypes, but I believe there's some truth in this one." The Hobbit  By J. R. R. Tolkien "The H0bbit is a great book because it captures your interest so much that you never want to stop reading it and you feel disappointed when it ends." The House on Mango Street By Sandra Cisneros  "Your home is where you are and what you make of it, no matter what kind of house that happens to be. And I wonder if [Cisneros] also means that your crazy neighbors are also part of your home because they are a part of your life." Incident at Hawk's Hill By Allan W. Eckert "[Eckert] has an amazing knowledge of animals…. He describes some amazing behaviors, like how a badger is somehow able to locate a prairie dog den from above ground, dig down and catch an unsuspecting prairie dog for a meal." The Magic Finger  By Roald Dahl "Roald Dahl is a very funny writer and I would almost say that this book is just about the funny idea 'What would happen if a family of people switched places with a family of ducks?'" More Stories Julian Tells By Ann Cameron "Julian, his little brother Huey, and his friend Gloria … hang around and get on each others’ nerves and without fail something really funny or exciting or scary happens and it’s just so much fun to read about!" Mr. Putter & Tabby Paint the Porch By Cynthia Rylant "Mr. Putter seems to love animals so much that it feels like we're enjoying their antics right along with him." My Father's Dragon By Ruth Stiles Gannett "[This author] imagines a world as small as two islands and fills it with normal creatures, like alligators, tigers and tortoises, that talk and behave like very funny people." Return to Hawk's Hill By Allan W. Eckert "[Ben's] ability to understand and communicate with animals, even ferocious ones, allows him to have a special relationship with a nearby tribe of Metis Indians because they appreciate his respect for the animal world and they are amazed by his ability to calm dangerous animals." A Wizard of Earthsea By Ursula K. Le Guin "[LeGuin] tells a story full of the intense action of a life-and-death chase that keeps you on the edge of your seat and weaves deep life lessons about facing your fears and turning an angry life to positive ends." |
