Hi there. I'm studying to be an elementary teacher right now and so I'm having to read LOTS of books (mostly children's books), so my list may go a little faster than others and will definitely include a different set of books than most. I think this will be fun. :)

Speak
Starting off here with a quick review of the first book of the year!
I've read several of Anderson's books now and this wasn't the first time reading Speak. I think I got a few of the details mixed up with other books. Anyways...
Much of the book is a heartbreaking story of a young rape victim who slowly sinks back into herself and gradually stops talking. She is helped along by a wonderful art teacher who encourages her to find her true passion. I really enjoyed this book more the first time around, but just when I thought it couldn't be the story I remembered, the last page or two saved it and really made it excellent. Read it yourself to find out why. :)

Magic School Bus: Electric Storm
Now on to the best part! Kids books! haha
So, for these books I have to read, I'm required to review them based on a specific set of criteria. I'm encouraged to tag my own opinions on the end, so if it sounds a little odd, you'll know why.
This book does an excellent job of presenting information in a way that makes children want to learn more. It also covers the topic of how a storm forms fully. Not to mention, I enjoyed reading it and even learned a few things.
P.S. I promise that they'll get better than this.

Berenstain Bears Go Back To School
This would be a good book for teacher or even parents to use at the start of a new school year. It has a pretty strong message of "school is fun" and tries to reinforce that even though it can be difficult, it can prepare you for great things. Interspersed throughout are other more subtle themes like being well behaved. The rhyme and flow of the words worked well most of the time and it could be read aloud fairly easily. The subject matter is appropriate for the intended age group and students should be able to relate well to situations in the book. Berenstain Bears is one of my childhood favorites, and although I've never read this one, I think it was a nice addition to the collection.
