Book Review for Poetry

 This poetry book turned out to me one of my favorites! Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reverso Poems is an interesting book. You are able to read a poem, but if you reverse the lines you are able to get another poem. The artwork in this book is also amazing. I think it’s pretty clever and different that you can read the same poem 2 ways for different results. This book mentions many different known fairy tales like sleeping beauty and prince charming.  Some of the poems when read in reverse though are a bit confusing, which is pretty much the only negative. 

I rate this book a 3.9/5

Book Review For Bibliography

 A great children’s biography that everyone should read is “My Little Golden Book About Ruth Bader Ginsberg”. This picture book is a very inspirational one for younger girls. It shows then the she fought for something she believes in. She studied hard and worked hard, which helped her accomplish many things. Throughout this book they get to see how she became just only the second women and first Jewish women to be in the United States Supreme Court. It talks about how is was not just handed to her, she needed to have the strength to not give up easily.  The illustrations also help tell the story throughout this book. This book is a great introduction to what the supreme court exactly is. At the end of the book it gives a small explanation of who they are and what they do. 

I give this book a 5/5.

Book Review for Fables

 The tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop Fable is about a big race that is coming up. Throughout the story the Tortoise tries to work out every day to try and beat Hare in this big race. Hare is very fast in general, while Tortoise is slow at everything. Even though Tortoise knew Hare was faster than him he accepted the challenge to try and prove a point Once the race begins, Hare is immediately in first place. Once he notices how big the lead is, he decides to rest a bit When he awoke, he realized that he had overslept with Tortoise in the lead.  The illustrations throughout the book are also very eye catching. 

This book shows perseverance to young children. It shows the power of not giving up. This book should be used in grades 3 or 4. 

 

I give this book  a 5/5.
