Dogku is a story about a cute dog. His name is Mooch. The story is written like a poem, so it rhymes a little. The dog is looking for a home. He sits at the front door of a house. And there is a mom standing there making breakfast for the kids. She opens the door and gives him some food and he gets a bath. He doesn't know if they will keep him or not. They play with him and he is happy. At the end he thinks they are taking him to the pound. But instead dad goes out the door and comes back with a new doggie bed. He was happy to find a family. Everyone should read this book.

Book Review: Splat the Cat

Title: Splat the Cat
By: Rob Scotton (Best selling author of Russell the Sheep)
Reviewed By: EM, Age 5

The book is about a cat named Splat. He is worried about school. It was his first day of school. He tells his mom he doesn't have clean socks, and his mom says, "You don't wear socks!" He was trying to get out of going. Splat's mom asked if he wanted to ride his bike to school, so he did. And then the got to school. The teacher's name is Mrs. Whimpydimple (giggle). The kids all said, "Hi Splat!" At lunchtime, Splat opened his lunch box and his pet, Seymour (a pet mouse), jumped out. The kids said, "MOUSE!" And they chased him through the room. But then Seymour saved the day when he climbed, jumped, and crawled through a hole to open the milk door (that was locked). And they all drank the milk. They were all happy. Splat wakes up the next morning, he's so happy, he wants to go to school again, and again, and again. I think people would like this book a lot.

Book Review: Moose Tracks!

Title: Moose Tracks
By: Karma Wilson and Jack E. Davis
Reviewed By: EM, Age 5

The book is about moose who keeps finding moose tracks all over her house and doesn't know where they are coming from. Friends visit her like a goose, a chipmonk, and a pig (who leaves the same tracks as the moose). I really like the part about the hippo being in the bathtub! I think that this is a really great book. Parents should read it to their kids.
