Im starting to think that I may not like children chapter books as much as I thought I did. Im hoping that I'm just picking out books that I'm not interested in. I remember loving going to the library during school when I was younger. So when I picked out this book I had high hopes for it to remind me why I love children books. For this blog post I read Cam Jansen and the First Day of School Mystery by David A. Adler and illustrated by Susanna Natti. It was the first day of school and Eric and Cam couldn't have been more excited. On the bus ride to school they were stuck in traffic and they ended up having to walk to school. While walking, they saw a car accident, at this point they were very interested. They got to school and their teacher, Mrs. Benson was talking right as two police officers walked in and starting questioning the teacher and said she would have to come with them. Eric and Cam were very curious to what happened to Mrs. Benson. They went on an adventure...

I have been in a reading slump lately. After hearing that John Green came out with a new book, that is the only thing I have been wanting to read and I have had no time to go out and get my hands on one. So after some time off of reading for our challenge, I dug through my bag of children's book and I couldn't find one that I wanted to read.

So the past two rainy days I have sat down and read I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic,1912 by Lauren Tarshis. The first chapter of the book was a flash-forward to when the boat was sinking. I was sort of confused while reading, I was thinking why are they not writing about the moments up until the boat sinking, or why aren't they writing a...

This is one of the series of books I looked forward to reading during this challenge. I remember reading these in elementary school and also having my teacher read these aloud in class. Earthquake in the Early Morning is written by Mary Pope Osborne. She has written 54 Magic Tree House books and also 35 Fact Tracker books. The book starts off by Jack and Annie, brother and sister, go in their magic treehouse to see what they need to find the treehouse owner, Morgan. They have the clue that says something to lend. Then, their treehouse starts to spin and it takes them to San Fransisco, California. When Jack and Annie got there the ground started to shake and rumble and then the bricks started to separate. Soon, Jack realized that an earthquake just occurred. He could not find Annie but soon found that she was stuck in a hole of bricks. After getting Annie out, they go on a quest to find something to lend. While looking, fires started all over the city from the aftermath of the earth...
