Peanut's Book Reviews

Welcome to 

Peanut's Book Reviews!

Peanut is my nine-year old daughter who LOVES reading and sharing her thoughts with others. As a homeschooler, she has the opportunity to explore her interests in meaningful ways. This is one of the many adventures Peanut has decided to embark upon, and I want to thank you all for joining us on the journey!

Peanut is currently reading at about a fifth grade level, but she still enjoys the stories written for the younger crowd, and she's starting to get into the "older kids" books now as well. On this page you will find her thoughts about the books she's reading. Comments are enabled so you can share your thoughts on the books, suggest new books, or commend her efforts. 

First up: 

A brand new book by an up-and-coming author, "Ziggie Tales" by Kathleen M. Wainwright. This book is not even officially released yet, and Peanut has devoured its contents in less than 3 days. Ms. Wainwright will be starting a virtual book tour in a couple of weeks and asked us to be a part of it. Watch on the main page for an announcement and a giveaway!

Now, here's Peanut:

You should read this book because it’s funny. Kathleen M. Wainwright speaks our language she does not make books hard to read. 

Marley is a quirky girl. Layla is Marley’s best friend, and she was right by Marley reminding her not to make wrong choices. I like the book a lot and I found my new favorite author. When I read Ziggie tales my mouth opened and I started reading out loud, I felt like I was in the book! I liked Marley because she likes bright colors just like me.

Second Book: 

Peanut decided to read a book that was suggested by one of her readers! Clementine is the first book in a series by Sara Pennypacker. Here's a link to the Official Clementine website if you'd like to see more about this series Sara Pennypacker.

Now, here's Peanut:

Hi again.CLEMENTINE was really cool, but in some spots it’s sort of weird. When you read it you will like it, at least I liked it. SARA PENNYPACKER is a good writer.
The principal’s name in the book is Principal Rice; I thought it was a funny name that’s why I put it on here. Clementine’s school mates name is Margaret. Clementine is in 3^rd grade but Margaret is in 4^th grade. Margaret is a bully to Clementine, Clementine is sad because she does not know how to handle it.

Third Book: 

Peanut didn't choose this next book, exactly. She and her brother had to read The Secret Garden for school. The funny thing about a budding author/literature aficionado is they aren't always as keen on the reading/writing/reviewing process when they HAVE to do it ;) If you'd like to listen to the dramatic readings, check out this page.  

Now, here's Peanut:

Hi everyone I read The Secret Garden and some of the wording was hard to understand because it is Yorkshire. But we got a thing to read to us and it made it much more easier to understand it. I had a good time reading it and I hope you have a chance to check out that book and have fun reading it too.  A girl named Mary is the main person; she was not that fun at the beginning. Later on she wanted to come out of her room and go outside. She made new friends and just had fun. I hope you enjoy this book.
