Okay, this isn't a chapter book, but it was definitely cool for my mom to allow this book to be part of my history homeschooling this summer. Waldo and his friends are walking through history. Some of the drawings are pretty graphic, so parents beware for smaller kids. You will see people are being burned at the stake, eaten by lions, etc, The scenes are from the Stone Age The Stone Age through the future. Some of my favorites were: The Riddle of the Pyramids (2590 BC), Fun and Games in Ancient Rome (58 AD), On Tour with the Vikings (985 AD) and the The End of the Crusades (1188 AD).

This is great read for younger readers. After I read to myself, I now read to my younger cousins. Piggie and Elephant have a great time trying to surprise the other! It made my cousin laugh at each page turned. "Read it again!" So I did! I

This book is on my STEM reading list and was very inspiring. The women in the book were smart girls and many told them that they would not be able to have the type of jobs that they wanted. But they continued with their studies and became the best in their field. The NASA space program with Armstrong would not have traveled on the Apollo mission without the help of these females. Their story and other untold stories of girls/women who were a part of our great history are very inspirational.

A good book with a great imagination. Harold and his trusted purple crayon takes him on an imaginative adventure by moonlight. He draws his own adventure and even manages to scare himself! I enjoyed sharing one of my favorite books with my cousins.

Arlo and Andrea are the two characters that try to make learning about science things fun. Another STEM book on my reading list is one that they could have left off the list. The jokes weren't too funny and I already knew the majority of the information in the book. It is okay for a junior scientist who is just starting to blaze her own trail.

I actually read this book before, but read it again because my Dad and I enjoyed it the first time together. And again we found this book fun to read a second time around. It was great reliving this time with my Dad. Happy Father's Day everyone!

I met Nick Bruel when I was 6. His books were my first chapter books. I read this book while waiting to check out books at the library and he is still one of my favorites! Great read with really cool characters, Bad Kitty never disappoints the reader with all of her uncooperative antics. This book, however, is also a great "how to write your own story" book. Kids 7 and older who like to write will enjoy reading and coming up with plots, settings and antagonists right along with Nick Bruel.

Quick and fun read! Having a baby sitter can be fun...if it's your sister, I don't think so! I enjoyed reading how Bean tries to out smart her 11 year old sister that is babysitting her. I have enjoyed reading all 4 books in this series.

Did anyone see this coming! Fudge, a three year old swallowing a pet turtle? This kinda weirded me out. I know a kid that swallow a cockroach, yep a cockroach that was her brother's pet This part of the book was not too good because Fudge didn't get in trouble and his brother, Peter didn't get any attention for losing his pet because their parents had to rush Fudge to the hospital. So basically the entire book is about sibling rivalry and as the youngest of 4 I understand. So if you are an animal lover like me, don't read this book. And Fudge is a complete terror in this book. I am sure there are kids out there like this or someone with a sibling like Fudge, and I feel sorry for them. Reason 2 to not read this book.

I took out my mood ring from a birthday party gift bag when I started reading this book! Judy or Madame M's predictions are fantastically hysterical. This was such a fun read that I finished the book in one sitting.
