“Silly Knock-Knocks” by Joseph Rosenbloom

Lily had a Joke Book square on her Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet. All of the joke books that I have are more of a 3rd or 4th grade level.

Unfortunately, she did not understand some of the puns or what the joke funny.

She did like the participatory part. She always said, “Who’s there?” and “__________ who?”

I liked the book.

I liked because one jumped in the bath tub.

I didn’t like because someone got really sick.

Why do you think the author wrote this book? Because he wants you to learn new knock-knock jokes.

“Big Max and the Mystery of the Missing Giraffe” by Kin Platt

It has been a challenge to find an age-appropriate mystery book. She’s not quite ready for Nancy Drew. Fortunately, when I was looking through the beginning reader books at the library, “mystery” caught my eye!

Spoiler alert! Her book report gives away the ending!

Lily’s Book Report

I liked the book. I liked that they were so happy to find the missing giraffe.

What were the important events? The king called Big Max because of his giraffe. They found him at the soccer field.

Why did the giraffe run away? Since he saw the soccer game on TV.

“Walt Disney’s Cinderella”

Lily needed to read a fairytale for her Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet.

This abridged version of the classic Disney movie was a fun read, and Lily pretty much knew the story line from having seen the movie (on VHS).

I liked the book.

I liked that the dress was getting fixed with the spell.

I didn’t like the people tore the dress and the spell getting broken.

Who was the main character? Cinderella.

How did Cinderella feel at the end of the book? Very happy.
Why? Since she got to marry the prince.

“Doggie Holidays” by Shirley Scott

The author was kind enough to autograph and “pawtograph” this book for both of the kids.

I tear up reading about Matt every time. Yet, it’s a great memory I’m glad Shirley shared with young readers. Matt is truly missed.

The Adventures of Jack and Dobbie is Shirley’s website for the series!
