My Favorite Book in the World....

My favorite book is Harry Potter the Prisoner of Azkaban. I like Harry Potter because I got to go to the Hollywood Bowl and see the movie.  I got to go with my mom, my yia-yia (grandma), and of course me. I dressed up just like Herimone.  I had a Gryffindor scarf, tie, and robe.

My favorite chapter was Herimone's Secret.  It was my favorite chapter because it is when Harry and Herimone time traveled to save Buckbeak and Sirrus Black, Harry's Godfather.  I also liked the book because there are so many new characters like:  Professor Trelwlany, Peter Pettigrew, Sirrus Black, Dementors, Professor Lupin and last but not least Buckbeak. That is why I love Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

My Favorite Book by: Jordan Mabery

My favorite book in the world is Charlotte's Web because I saw the movie with my dad!  In the beginning Fern went to the barn and saw her dad with an ax in his hand.  He was trying to kill a baby pig but Fern said NO!  Fern grabbed the ax from her dad.  The pig's name was Wilbur and Fern loved him more than anything.  Wilbur met Charlotte, the spider, in the barn and other animals.  Templeton, a rat, got to keep an egg from the goose.  He cracked the egg and the yellow part from the egg dropped on him.  He lived in a tiny hole, but it is big inside.  The story ends and it is very sad.  Charlotte dies and Wilbur has to take care of the baby spiders.  Wilbur will never forget Charlotte because she was a true friend and good writer.
