Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary
This book is good because it is about a kid that writes to this author named Mr. Henshaw. The kid's name is Leigh Botts and his parents are divorced because when his parents were married and hid dad started going cross country in his truck they got divorced. Mr. Henshaw's book Ways to Amuse a Dog and he does tons of book reports on it as he gets older. When Leigh's dad is driving in his truck, Leigh waits for his dad to call him, but he usually doesn't. One time he called Leigh because his dad lost Bandit. Hid dad sent him a letter with a napkin with twenty dollars and the napkin said "sorry about bandit, go buy yourself an ice cream cone. Leigh was mad about that. Leigh also got to meet the famous author too. I think this got the Newbery medal because it is just an awesome book.

Saturn by Elaine Landau
Saturn is a really interesting planet. Saturn has seven rings and the rings are not one piece. They are made of rock from the sizes of tinier that a grain of sand to larger than a house. If a space ship enters Saturn's atmosphere it would crush like a can. Saturn has no solid surface to stand on, so if you tried to stand on it you would go right through. That's just some facts about Saturn. Learn more about it my going to the astronomy section in the library.

Galaxies by Howard K. Trammel
Galaxies are filled with stars, gas and dust. Galaxies with lots of gas and dust usually have more stars. All galaxies are not alike. They have different numbers of stars and different shapes.

Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman
I think this book was a Newbery winner because it was a great book and it was unusual. Another thing about it is that it has miniature poems about different things all packed together in one and that made it more interesting. I think this book really deserves the award and it does. After I read this book I learned that poems can be about anything. Last, I want to say that this book will be great to read and I hope you enjoy it.

Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman
I like this poem book because its poems have lots of awesome words. Also the book has lots of super titles. I thought the best poem was the Moth's Seranade. The first two paragraphs were the best. You want to hear it well then, here it is: Porch light, hear my plight. I drink your light like nectar by day. Gaze in your eyes all night porch light. I think you should read this book because it is a really awesome poetry book.

Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie Tolan
This book is a really good honor book. It should be an honor book, because it has a lot of action and suspense. I think every child should read this because they go on this trip to save the apples everybody loves. The truck just keeps going because they hate the apples. Read this book!

This book is about a boy whose father has died and needs to fix his automaton. Hugo thinks the automaton will do something for his life. I think you should read this book because it has so many adventures and interesting characters. I think it won the award because of the great pictures. My favorite part is the ending. I'm not telling you anymore than this. You have to read the book!

The Wanderer by Sharon Creech
this is a great book. It is about 2 kids, Sophie and Cody and their families. The sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Connecticut to land off England. They go there for a very important reason. If you want to find out why they sail to England, and what happens while they are sailing there, read this funny and adventurous book about Sophie and Cody. I think it got the Newbery Medal because of all the imagery in the book and how it expresses the character's feelings.

The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt
A Presbyterian boy , Holling Hoodbood has just started 7th grade attending Camillo Junior High. Holling knows his teacher, Mrs. Baker is out to get him some how. I mean, is there any other reason why she would make him read Shakespeare outside of class? His 7th grade school year starts in 1967 when everybody in his school has bigger things to worry about than getting cream puffs to avoid being dead meat. Like the war that's going on in Vietnam. Holling's father could care less about everything in the world. All he cares about is the Hoodbood's family business and its success. Can Holling stay out of trouble with Mrs. Baker as his teacher? I think this book deserves the Newbery honor because of its humor and suspense. This book is full of humor. Even Holling's name is funny. Think about it Holling Hoodbood, now that is hysterical. In this book, you never know what's going to happen next. For instance one moment Holling is about to be beat to a prune and the next he's saved! This book is amazing!
