Juan is a unique boy, he whistle instead of saying his first word, so by the time he goes to school, he is not talking, he only whistles. He is so amazing with his gift, that birds follow him. He inspires all the kids at school with his whistle, he could make them feel all the subjects they were learning, and the kids love him for that. Then a friendship changes things......You have to read this book! The illustrations are amazing and helps tell the story. After I read this book, I was compelled to tell you about it!

Juan es un niño especial, en lugar de decir su primera palabra el silbó. Cuando es tiempo de ir a la escuela todabía no habla, solo silba. El don que tiene de silbar hace que los pajaritos lo sigan; Juan inspira a los niños de la escuela, y por medio de su silbido sienten lo que estan aprendiendo. Una amistad cambia todo..... Tienen que leer este libro, las ilustraciones son estraordinarias y ayudan a contar este cuento. ¡Depues que leí este libro me sentí que debería de contarles hacerca de este hermoso libro!

Review: Faker

By
Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam.

Hello world! I know you have been anticipating the release of this list all year... my favorite easy readers! Whether they're funny or sweet, these titles are all great for kids taking their first steps for reading. So without further ado...here are my five favorite easy readers of 2024. Lone Wolf Goes to School Written by Kiah Thomas Illustrated by K-Fai Steele New York: Neal Porter Books/Holiday House, 2024. Easy Reader.  Lone wolf would spend all of his time alone if he could. Unfortunately, he has to go to school with the "snotty" kids, and even when he leaves school there's people at the beach, on the mountains, and at the movie theater. What's a wolf to do? Invite them all to a party at his house and then leave so that all the places he wants to be are empty, of course! If you're looking for a moralistic read-aloud that will teach the virtues of making friends so that you aren't lonely, you should definitely look elsewhere. However, if you're loo...
