As Fast As Words Could Fly is about a kid named Mason and his brothers who are going through something called racism. One day Mason is picked out for a typewriter contest and he won. This story teaches kids that even if you look different from someone else it does not matter. It's what is on the inside that counts.

I liked this book. It was about Geronimo Stilton and his quest to save Queen Blossom by finding the Whispering Wand, the Book of a Thousand Spells, and the Crystal Sphere. My favorite part was when the Invisible Cloak flew Geronimo all around the Kingdom of Fantasy. I also liked that it had the crow in it because he had a treasure chest. I also really liked Queen Blossom, and the invisible spiders and the dragons.

We love this picture book about Jane Goodall! The pictures are beautiful and the story it tells about Jane's childhood is so heartwarming. We especially love the idea of Jane and her stuffed Chimpanzee (Jubilee) sneaking into the chicken coop to observe where eggs come from!

This book is a really good book because it has a lot of adventure in it, it is a graphic novel, and it is unlike any other book I have read with its fascinating characters.

This book has a different kind of artwork illustration that makes you see the story a different way than most books. Very cool.

Sharks are an unusual type of fish. Even though they are fish they behave differently. Sharks are the biggest predator that is alive today. 

Sharks have a sixth sense called electroreception. Electroreception allows sharks to sense the small electricity given off by all animals. 

Sharks have bodies built for the terrain. On top of their skin they have dermal denticles rather than scales. Denticles are rough like sandpaper which lets sharks move trough the water much faster. Sharks are mostly made of cartilage than bones. Cartilage is a tissue that is flexible so it helps the sharks to bend their bodies. 

Nurse sharks are the only sharks kept in captivity. They eat lobsters and other shellfish and use their mouth as a vacuum. Goblin sharks swim 4300 feet below the surface and were first seen in Japan. Goblin sharks are an ambush predator and eat squid and other deep sea fish. 

The great white shark has an 18 inches radius of its mouth. They are in every ocean in the world, can grow up to 20 feet long, and can swim down to 3000 feet below the surface. 

For more information about sharks read this book.
