Emma –
I just finished A Series of Unfortunate Events #1. I love books for this age-level – I have since I was in elementary school. The poor Baudelaire kids – are they always so unfortunate? I really do not like Count Olaf! Are the Baudelaire kids in the whole series? I hope Count Olaf is not – he is quite the villain. For some reason, Jonathan doesn’t want to listen to my recommendations, but I would recommend this one. I checked out BFG from the library, so I am on to that one next. I thought I’d screen some for Jonathan and Stephen, but I also like just reading them for myself!

Dear Mrs. Buck,
The Baudelaire Children are in each book. But be prepared because the 1st book is happy, compared to the others. The cause for the treacherous things: Count Olaf. So yes, he is in every book__sadly. I really am glad you are reading BFG, and maybe Jonathan will follow your lead. That is a book that has me thinking about miracles on paper, because it is one. Every Roald Dahl book was amazing, but BFG got my whole family talking about things like ‘whizpoppers’ and other giant language.

Dear Emma,
I really liked the BFG. I think it was funny that the BFG called helicopters
bellypoppers. I think I will read The Twits next. thank you Emma!

Dear Jonathan,
I am glad you liked BFG. If your going to read The Twits, you might want to read it with your parents. Only do that if you get grossed out easily or is sensitive to repulsive behavior, though. I only say this because the Twits do some awful things to each other. And never, ever, do something that you got from the Twits. Never.

Hi Emma – Do you have any book recommendations for boys that are in 1st and 2nd grade but reading on a 3rd and 4th grade level? Would any of these be better than others? We’re looking for something not too violent but creative and interesting.

Dear Mrs. Buck,
I really reccomend BFG. Or any other Roald Dahl book. The problem is that parents have complained that he was to violent, but I think it wasn’t and he was just being creative.
