the polar express was about a boy who got the first gift of christmas. when he woke up, there was a train outside his house. there was a man that pulled him in the train and was on their way to the north pole. later, they were at the middle of a small town. they saw little elves and they were packing up presents in the sled. then "Santa Claus" came and asked the boy to sit on his lap. he asked what he wanted and he said," I want one of the bells on the harness of the reindeers.
santa smiled and gave him a hug and told one of the elves to cut off a peace from the harness.
he yelled,"The first gift of christmas!" then he then he flew off and and went around the houses and was already gone. when he went on the train the kids wanted to see the gift but when he digged into his pocket for the bell all he found was a hole in his pocket. then when it was christmas, he and his sister were opening their presents and there was a small one and it was for him. it was his bell! when he ringed it, he heard a sweet sound. when his parents tried to listen to those rings, but heard nothing. he rang the bell and still heard the sound.
Tiger with wings: this book was about a owl being compared to tiger. they were talking about how the owl can fly,eat,feed,and whatever it does all its life.

For some reason I was expecting more comments on the Owl book than Polar Express. Maybe it is because summer is knocking at the door and Christmas isn't on my mind... The book on the owl is new (even though I got it used so it looks a little old).
ReplyDeleteI was kind of sad when I got the owl book because it is labeled that it used to be in a library. Libraries getting rid of books that are excellent is a sad thing. It has beautiful description, a nice metaphor comparing tigers to owls (I hadn't thought of them that way before) and gives a lot of excellent interesting information. Sigh... oh well. Stick with your great reading habits... they will get your far! Bye for now.
