Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Old Books
The first Part is probably going to be a Poem-Rant, so you can just skip to the end:
They sit around
Collecting buckets of dust
Until the occational time
You take them out of your libary
Wait -
Is that Stick the Cat?
My favorite book
In the second grade?
Yes, it is
With one cat who is skinny and another
Who is
P-H-A-T
Yes, that is an actual joke in Stick the Cat
Not to mention
A hole in the wall
That leads from one apartment
To the next
Is that Bad Kitty?
Continuing the cat theme?
Scraching sofa's
Refusing to
Go to the Vet
Or take a Bath
Pickled Watermelon peaks out
A girl learning about her family
Waves Hello
Before disapeering into the page
Once again
With her disapeerance
Out comes Horrible Harry
Making messes all day
Playing in Class
Playing in Resses
No-stop playing
Last but not least
Is that The House of Pets?
About a ladie
With more pets than she can care for?
It sure is, so now I shall stop
If you didn't understand already, this is for writing or just reccomending old books. Books that you loved when you were younger that never mad it to the New York Times Bestsellers list. Put your reccomended age level for the book near it.
Here are some of mine:
The House of Pets (8-12)
Pickled Watermelon (8-12)
Horrible Harry (6-8)
Stick the Cat (7-10)
Adventures of Rebbi Harvey (7-11)
Lemons (8-12)
The list goes on but I don't want to make this too long.

-All of the Cornelia Funke books, but especially Dragon Rider and Igraine the Brave. 8+ These are really good fantasy books.
-All of the Beverly Cleary books, but especially the Ramona series. 8+ Just...yes.
-All of the Roald Dahl books, but especially Matilda and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory books. 8-9+ Matilda is literal magic.
-The Clementine by Sara Pennypacker! These books are amazing. Probably 8+, again, these are really sweet and hilarious. The illustrations are really awesome too.
-All of the Kate DiCamillo books, but especially the Raymie Nightingale series (10-11+), Flora and Ulysses (9+), the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (this one's a tearjerker, 9+), and The Tale of Desperaux (9+). So good. This author is amazing.

The Secret Series by Phuedonymous (spelling?) Bosch. I don't know the age range. I read it when I was younger, and I still love thinking about it.
The Hero's Guide series, I don't know the author.

I really loved the Stella Batts books when I was younger! I would say the age range is 7-10, but I haven't read them in a while, so I'm not sure how accurate that is.
