Picking a Book
Choosing a book is hard. My mom always says you can't judge a book by its cover, but I totally do. Pink with bows and sparkles? No thanks. Title with red, drippy letters and a side of creepy? Heck no.
Usually I choose a book because my friends tell me it's good. Sometimes I ask my teacher or a librarian. Sometimes I go to whatshouldireadnext.com which is a really cool website that tells you books similar to one you've already read. Sometimes I just go down the aisles of the library and pick a book with a good cover (that's right, I admitted it).
This time nothing was looking good in the library aisles. I wanted something totally awesome for my first graphic organizer of the summer. So I asked the librarian for a funny book. She told me about the Amelia Bedelia books - too babyish - and the Wimpy Kid books - read 'em, but I'll probably reread at least one this summer. Finally, she led me to the Hank the Cowdog books. There were like TWENTY-FIVE of them on the shelf! So I decided to take a chance on Hank. I've already started my graphic organizer - I put the title and author in the middle of the page. Now I've just got to buckle down and saddle up! (do I sound cowboyish yet?)
