Wizard of Oz Movie

Mom and Dad let us stay up late last night and watch Wizard of Oz.  I thought the red slippers were very pretty. My favorite character was the good witch her dress is the pretties dress I ever saw!  My favorite part was when the good witch said are you a good witch or a bad witch?  Then Dorthey said I'm not a witch at all!  I wonder how they made the witch melt. The lion is funny and so is the scarecrow and the metal man is the funniest.  

This was a very good movie!

Anne of Green Gables

This book is about Anne, she was an orphan nd a couple wanted a boy but adopted her.  She talks a lot like me, she gets used to Green Gables. She meets a nice girl names Diana.  They are best friends and walk home from school together. Anne's life is good at green gable. 

I like this book because Anne is a good girl 

Meet Samantha Book One

Samantha is a girl who was raised by her Grandma.   she makes friends and learns lessons from her Grandma.  Samantha is a good character because she is playful and nice.  I like this book.

Hello, Mrs Piggle Wiggle

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a lady who has cures for bad habits.she can cure show offs., crybabies bullies and people who whisper and slow pokes.  She is like a babysitter with kids who come to her house after school.  My favorite one is the crybaby cause there's a girl who cries a lot and it's funny.  My other favorite is the slow poke cause he is super slow and he pretends he's from an island.

In Grandma's Attic

This book is about a girl named Arleta.  This book does not talk about Arleta's parents, but it tells about her grandma.  Her grandma tells very good stories about her childhood.  For example, she tells of one time when it was dark she was told to empty the wash bucket, but she was scared of the dark. So she was going to throw it, but just then her father walked around the corner and she didn't know then she threw it then BANG!  She hit her dad with it!  Then her mom came to see what happened.

Then she was sent to bed early.

It is one of the best books I have ever read.  

The Boxcar Children #1

The boxcar children made a home in an old boxcar. Their oldest brother found a job.

They were having a nice time, but after a while the second sister got sick.  So they took 

her to the doctor.  Soon she was well and the children found their grandfather and lived with him

because their parents were dead.  they were happy they had their grandfather.  

I really enjoy this book it might be a little sad, but it gets better.

Why I loveLaura Ingall's Wilder Books

Laura is a country girl.  She is nice, likes hiking and likes to play.  I enjoy these books.  I am reading The long winter.  So far they have had a bad winter.  It lasted til April.  Mary is blind because she got

sick along time ago.  Laura's family is happy that the winter is over.  They had a big problem, they were running out of food because the train was not coming till spring.  Then two boys went to find

food and they came back with 60 bushels of wheat.  That helped a lot of people.  Then one morning

it was spring and they were happier then happy. 

What it means to have a Father -a poem

I have a father, he is fun to be with.  

I love him very much.

He fixes things for us and makes stuff.

He puts up a tent for us in the summer.

He teaches us about the bible. 

But there is a father who is

greater -He is God. 

They are both good.
