This is Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It is very creepy and scary. We listened to it on the way to Michigan. WARNING: do not give to kids that can get easily scared….and have nightmares…and don’t give it to kids who don’t like scary books. It is a cd that you listen to and also a graphic novel and it’s a regular book too. And it’s going to be a movie in February! The movie might be a little less scary then the cd the book and the graphic novel. Some kids like scary stuff. I don’t like scary stuff. I only like this.

PS our giveaway ends at 4:00 on Sunday. We’ll announce the winner on Monday.
The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney by Lauren Barnholdt is really good. It teaches you to not lie. It also teaches you that being popular is not super awesome. Because sometimes popular friends aren’t really nice. And you shouldn’t lie to your friends because people always find out and then they think you’re lying every time you say something. It’s better to tell the truth and be yourself.
It’s November! That means you have to think about what to buy for a bunch of kids for the holidays. We celebrate Christmas, but our friends Noah and Madison celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah and other people do Kwanzaa and other people don’t do holidays, but still buy their kids things. So we’re going to try to post a review every weekday in November to help you with your gift lists. Also, we have tons of things to give away like books, DVDs, and games.
Here is our first pre-holiday book review (I think we’re going to try to do books all week long, but I can’t remember if that’s true or not). It’s a huge book called The Way We Work by David Macaulay. It’s not the kind of thing we like. But watch the video because my mom says it’s a really good book and lots of people might like it.
And now for our giveaway!
We’re giving away a different big book. It’s called The Bill Martin Jr. Big Book of Poetry. It’s a huge book filled with poems that were picked by Bill Martin Jr. To enter the contest, just leave a comment telling us what your favorite book is. If you’re a grown-up, tell us what your favorite book was when you were a little kid. We’ll announce the winner on Monday, November 10th.
