| Ms. Carla as a fourth grader. Reading: Dot and Anton by Erich Kastner. I was inspired to have more life adventures after reading this book. |
 |
| This is a book that has a special place with me. It is one of the first books that I read and re-read in German. My teacher´s name was Mr. Horst Bill and he made fourth grade the most fun class ever. I won´t tell you a single thing about this book....let´s keep the mystery. Get it , you won´t regret or forget. You can get it in Amazon. |
 |
| Once upon a time there was a little witch who was only a hundred and twenty-seven years old. It's Walpurgis Night, when all the witches of the land meet to dance on the Brocken mountain, but the little Witch isn't invited........ |
 |
| Pippi Longstocking is a great book to read during your winter break. It´s funny and creative. Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and many adventures all over the world. |
 |
| This book has beautiful illustrations. Sempé a French illustrator is one of my favorites , his drawings are just breath taking. This classic book is about a mischievous schoolboy and his friends, originally published in French in 1959. |
 |
| They're identical twins, Lisa living a colorful, big-city life with her father while Lottie lives in the country side with her mom. Why have their parents separated? They decide to switch hairstyles, manners, and addresses—and that is where the adventure begins. |
 |
| I loved this collection of Encyclopedia Brown Mystery books. I recommend you to start with this one. It will challenge you ! |
 |
| This is one of my TOP childhood books ever. It is a page turner and a little spooky. |
"Coraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the new house. . . ."
When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem magical.

| I can still remember the day in the 4th grade I checked out this book from our class library. This book made homework nights fun!!! |
 |
The Monroe family has gone on vacation, leaving Harold ( dog) and Chester (cat) at Chateau Bow-Wow -- not exactly a four-star hotel. On the animals' very first night there, strange things start to happen..... |
 |
| Is Nick Allen a troublemaker? He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's got the inspiration for his best plan ever... |
 |
Everything our hero John Midas touches turns into chocolate! However, he soon finds out you can certainly have too much of anything, even chocolate. A cross between Bread and Jam for Frances and King Midas and the Golden Touch. For a strong reader or a bedtime “read to me.”
Perfect for: Kids who like classic stories.

| Very funny book about a troublemaker little girl. You will have a blast reading about her school and family adventures. Be sure to get the first book of the collection. ( Ramona and Beezus) |
 |
| I love all ROALD DAHL books, this one is probably my favorite due to the main character James. He is a risk taker and brave boy. If you like magic and fairy tales you will probably enjoy this book. |
In my next post I will be sharing Books that you can find in our school library.
