The Boy Who Invented TV:The Story of Philo Farnsworth by Kathleen Krull

Imagine what it would feel like growing up on a farm in American in 1906.When Philo Farnsworth came in everything changed. When Philo was three he was interested in anything mechanical. He would ask tons of questions. When he was old enough, he invented the T.V. This book was a cliff hanger to me because I was wondering what other inventions Philo invented. Read this book to find out what other cool inventions he made. Reviewed by Melanie

The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow

5,4,3,2,1 Kapow! This book is fun filled with plenty of excitement. You will go bonkers for Noel the Mole. And honkers for Klaus the Mouse. Willy the Worm is really wormy. Keith, Ed, and Daisy are quite squirmy. Lumpy Head Fred is very mighty and Brave Dave is not brave during nighty. On Ruth's super scooter you will have a blast. On Mike's bike you will go very fast. For somewhere less spikey, read this book and say hello to the Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow. Reviewed by Sammy

Stagecoach Sal by Deborah Hopkinson

The book I read was called Stagecoach Sal . The main characters were Sal and Poetic Pete. The problem was Poetic Pete is the most polite robber in San Fransisco. He pops out of nowhere and asks Sal if he could have a ride down to the town and Sal says yes. But every time Poetic Pete opens his mouth Sal sings something so he can not rob her. Read to find out how this book ended. Review By: Kalyn
