Geronimo Stilton by Geronimo Stilton, Giuseppe Ferrario, and Elisabetta Dami




 These amazingly hilarious books are some of my favorites from when I was a kid. They aren't like the boring normal books. They have great word choices and whenever there's a word that the author thinks the reader should pay attention to or it adds suspense, he puts it in a different color and text.

In these books, Geronimo Stilton (a mouse that lives in mouse city) is a neat freak who is scared of just about everything. His sister is the total opposite. Thea is always doing dangerous things and making fun of her older brother. Geronimo Stilton is a fun (most of the time) mystery book and is great for children ages 5 and older. I would rate these (usually about 100 pages) books a 4-and-a-half out of 5 stars.




Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin





Click, Clack, Moo was probably one of my favorite stories as a kid. My mom would read it to me until I was old enough to read it myself. This book is about a group of farm animals that find an old type writer in their barn and love to type on it. Farmer Brown hates it because he hears the same annoying sound all day. Click, Clack, Moo. Click, Clack, Moo. If that isn't bad enough. He finds out that the cows have been typing up complaints to farmer Brown. When farmer Brown wouldn't do what they wanted, they'd simply go on strike. No milk. What will farmer Brown do? I love this story so much that I definitely give it a 5 out of 5 stars. It is for children ages 2 and older and is 32 pages long.

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1)The Mogadorians have found them. They've hidden on Earth for as long as they could. They have been hunting them in order. Number one was killed in Asia, two in England, now three has been killed. Number four is next. He has been hiding with his protector since he escaped from his destroyed planet called Lorien. Will he be alive to even try to save the planet? Will they catch him? Torture him? Even kill him? I would give this book a 4 and a half out of 5 stars. I really liked it except for the fact that I didn't like how much it swore. This book is for children ages 12 and older and is 440 pages long.
