This year we will be writing book
recommendations. In class today, we discussed that good readers recommend books
to others. I also shared that I have discovered some of my favorite books
because of a friend’s recommendation.
For homework Monday night, students should leave a comment below about
a favorite book. The comment should include the title of the book and the
reason that they are recommending it. The students should post their comment by
October 20th.
I also challenged the students to ask friends and family to leave a comment about a favorite book they enjoyed when they were in third grade. We are hoping to discover some new books and spread the love of reading!
Dear Third Graders,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Because of Winn Dixie. When I read this book, I could picture exactly what was happening. I think it's a wonderful story with interesting characters.
I recommend The Chocolate Touch by Margot Apple. It is about a boy who has a magic spell where everything he eats turns to chocolate. I recommend this book because it keeps me guessing what will happen next.
ReplyDeleteTo the class of Mrs. Corliss,
ReplyDeleteMy book recommendation is Judy Moody And The Good Luck Charm. I picked this book because I like the main character and her story. The story is about a girl who found a penny on the sidewalk and afterwards believed it was lucky. She kept it in her pocket but all through the story, she would keep losing it. This book was hysterical! I read it and I think you should read it to.
One of my favorite books is Emergency Quarter Back.I liked it because it was really interesting.If you like football then you will probably like it.
ReplyDeleteA favorite book of mine is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days. I laughed a lot while reading the book and the illustration was funny, too. If your looking for a fun book to read, this is the book for you. I also recommend the movie version.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Big Nate Flips Out by Lincoln Pierce. This book is hilarious. I recommend this book because Nate does a lot of weird stuff that is fun to read about.
ReplyDeleteHorse Diaries Bell's Star is one of my favorite books because instead of a human telling the story a horse tells it! I think that it is very cool that you get to hear his side of helping a slave girl get to Canada and gain her freedom.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Big Nate Great Minds Think Alike by Lincoln Pierce. I like this book because Nate does a bunch of funny and stupid things.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books when I was your age was Pippi Longstocking. She always made me laugh and I thought she was so brave. She could do anything she wanted to!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Holly the Christmas Fairy by Daisy Meadows.
It is a really good book. This book is part of a series about fairies. Also, I like the story because it is about girls who travel to Fairyland. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Rainbow Magic Books.
I like I Survived because it tells you about things that happen in history and thing that people did.Like when the Pompeii volcano erupted.I like that the book because it tells you about history.
ReplyDeleteDear Third Graders,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Falling Up, by Shel Silverstein. I like this book because it has very funny poems and there are some weird poems too. It has many poems, so if you don't like one, there are many more to choose from.
Shea one of my favorite books is For Horse Crazy Girls Only. I like this book because it gives a lot of information about horses. Horses are my favorite animal.
ReplyDeleteHi 3rd Grade, my favorite book is On a Pirate Ship, By Sarah Courtauld and Benji Davies. I like this book because it is an adventure about being a pirate and seeing what you have to do to become one. It has great pictures and is a fun read. The best part for me is that my daughter Sarah and I love to read it together and talk like pirates.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading the Judy Blume books when I was in elementary school. I liked them because they were all about different topics and I felt like I could relate to them.
ReplyDeleteI think Geronimo Stilton Save the White Whale is the best book ever because it digs deep into the reader's mind. You don't want to let go of the book because it is so good. It also inspires children to read such a great book.
ReplyDeleteDear 3rd Grade class, I like Avenger's Look And Find book. I like this book because it's full of different puzzles that you can solve!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books when I was young was The Velveteen Rabbit. It is the first book that I can remember checking out from the library. It is a sad story but it has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI like Zoe the Skating Fairy because she skates and she is really pretty. Zoe teaches you how to skate by practicing. I want you to read this book because she tries to catch everyone's magic for the Fairies.
ReplyDeleteI recommend Fudge-a-mania by Judy Blume because it's really funny. You will laugh out loud because Peter's little brother Fudge is always getting into some kind of trouble that is silly.
ReplyDeleteI recommend The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. I read this book to both of my daughters in the third grade and they loved it. It's a heartwarming story about the adventures of a china rabbit. This is a must read!
ReplyDeleteLouie
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Happy Birthday Bad Kitty. It is really funny because the cat freaks out.
Hi Mrs. Corliss' class! These blog posts are so fun to read. I can't wait to read some of the books you guys have recommended. I would like to recommend Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Mr. Dahl creates really fun characters and the story keeps you wanting more.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite young reader book series' is The Never Girls. These are exciting books about four friends who meet the fairies of Neverland. In each book they go on different adventures. My daugther Sarah and I read these together and enjoy discussing the fun that the friends and fairies have together.
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs Corliss's Class! This is Max's mom. One of my favorite books when I was little was Charlotte's Web. I loved how all the farm animals talked and reading about the adventures and friendships they developed.
ReplyDeleteI recommend Charlotte’s Web by E.B White. This book is about the friendship between a pig, a girl and a spider. I also like The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein; he writes fun poetry. I remember reading The Little House on the Prarie series with my Mom and it was fun to learn about what life was like back then.
ReplyDeleteHi! This is Max's dad. When I was little my favorite book was the Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It is still one of my favorite books. I like the thoughtfulness of the tree and the fact that she gives up everything she has for a friendship and making someone else happy.
ReplyDeleteEric (Ella's Dad): When I was in third grade, my favorite book was "The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Story of Louis Pasteur". This was one in a series of value books, which told how Louis Pasteur persevered through adversity, and discovered a cure for rabies.

ReplyDeleteHi! When I was in the third grade, sooo long ago! I liked to read a series of books by Carolyn Haywood. I especially liked B is for Betsy. It was so much fun to follow her adventures in school. I also read many books by Beverly Cleary; Henry and Ribsy, Henry Huggins and Henry & Beezus. I also love Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers, it was a magical adventure that the children had.
Hi this is Max's Aunt Jennifer. I agree with my brother and sister's post that The Giving Tree is a timeless classic about the effects of giving and taking. Amelia Bedelia is also a great, funny story about a women who always takes things to literally and then finds herself in ridiculously, unreal situations.
ReplyDeleteOne book I would always recommend is the Harry Potter series. I love Harry Potter because Fred and George ( the Weasly twins) are hysterical.I also love Malfoy because in French it means bad faith.
ReplyDeleteI love the Little House on the Prairie series when I was in third grade. Scholastic also published many great chapter books that were only available through their orders. One I remember is "The Mystery of the Hollow Oak." Two siblings find a treasure in an old oak tree - it was one of the first mystery stories I ever read and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteHi. This is Sadie, Max's little sister. My favorite books are the Mercy Perkins books. I think they are funny and Mercy is a pig and he loves buttered toast.
ReplyDeleteI think you should read Geronimo Stilton Mouse in Space. It is a funny book and I laughed a lot when I read it.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate and Patricia Castelao. I just love that book because Ivan is looking for a friend and when I was reading I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is " Where the Wild Thing Are" by Maurice Sendak. I like the part where they were partying in the jungle.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite story as a kid is probably "Green Eggs And Ham". As a kid this book always got me up if I was sad.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Go Dog Go. My favorite part is when they party in the tree.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books from growing up was "The Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a story of a young girl who must go live at a boarding school in London when her father, whom is a captain, goes off to fight in the war. Irecommend this book to young readers because it will delight, entertain and teach you to have great hope in life and to appreciate the love you have.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is "The World of the Kittens". I would recommend this book to people who love cats and would like to learn how to take care of kittens.
