Carnivores
Written by: Aaron Reynolds Illustrated by: Dan Santat Reviewed by: Brady Have you ever tried to give up something you love? Well in this book they try to. It reminds me of when I tried to give up Fortnite for a week, but I couldn't. Carnivores is a funny book. It’s about some of the most feared predators, a lion, a shark, and a wolf. The lion is the “king of beasts.” The “Great White Shark is the most feared predator in the ocean.” The “Timber wolf’s howl strikes terror into the hearts of fuzzy woodland creatures everywhere.” These scary animals are all trying not to be carnivores when they have been carnivores since they were born. Read to find out if they become vegetarians. One reason I love this book is because it’s funny. The carnivores try to be vegetarians and they go in disguise. The lion tried going as an antelope, but when they smelled his zebra breath he was done for. The shark blended in with the dolphins until he was bloodthirsty and they disappeared. The wolf just drooled on the bunnies. All of those were funny. I think the lesson of this book is just be who you are no matter what. Carnivores reminds me of when me and my brother said “I’m going to go vegetarian” but he was just joking. You will like this book if you read it. You will like all the funny parts.

A Perfect Day is a book about a cat, a dog, and a bird. They all have a perfect day. The cat likes to be in the warm sun and likes to lay in the flowers in the flower bed. That is a perfect day for Cat. When it is really hot Dog likes to sit in the inflatable pool that his friend filled with water for him. That was a perfect day for Dog. A perfect day for Chickadee was when Bert filled a bird feeder with bird seed for her. It was a perfect day until Squirrel tried to take the birdseed.
