I like Buffalo Bill because it is very interesting to learn about Buffalo Bill’s life and about Blue Tail, his pony. The book is also full of adventure. It has a lot of description. I understood everything even though the story took place a long time ago. Buffalo Bill delivers mail on Blue Tail because that is the job of a Pony Express Rider. I like Buffalo Bill’s pony, Blue Tail, because he is cute. My favorite part is when Bill is surrounded by wolves. He runs out of bullets. The wolves come near him, and he does not know what to do. I recommend this book.

Buffalo Bill and the Pony Express is non-fiction. It told me about life a long time ago. This story is about a boy who is 16. His name is Bill. He is a Pony Express Rider. He delivers the mail by riding his pony, Blue Tail. He goes on adventures. One time he meets a group of wolves in the woods. I recommend this book if you like adventures and books about things that happened a long time ago.

I like this story because it gives good descriptions. Buffalo Bill is about becoming a Pony Express Rider, which is a person who delivers the mail by riding a pony from one station to another. I like Buffalo Bill because he does a very hard job and he is brave. I recommend this book.

Mouse Tales has many stories. I like “The Journey,” because it is funny. In this story, a mouse was going to see his mother but things kept breaking, his car, his roller-skates, his boot, his sneakers and then his feet! My favorite part is when he gets new feet. I recommend this story because it has a surprise ending.

I liked this book because it is very funny. In the story, “The Bath,” a mouse was taking a bath and the water over-flowed and filled up the whole town. Everybody had to go on top of the houses. My favorite part of the story is when the town flooded. When I read this book I felt really happy.

This book is good because it is a comedy. The story called “The Old Mouse” is funny. It is about an old mouse whose pants fall down and he can’t get them back up! There are two parts of the story that are my favorites. One was when his pants fall down and the other was when two ladies see him run away. It is a good book, but it isn’t my favorite book. Some of my favorite books are Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and books by William Steig.

I liked this book and the story “The Wishing Well” was surprising. In the story a mouse finds a wishing well. When the mouse threw a penny into the well and made a wish, the well said, “Ouch!” I think people should read this book because I think they would enjoy it.

Flat Stanley was great! If I had to write a story, mine never would have had such good description. In this story, a bulletin board falls and turns Stanley flat. My favorite characters were the sneak thieves because they were very funny. My favorite part was when the police said to the sneak thieves, “You’ll get a rest, all right! You’ll get ar-rested!” I thought it was very funny. You should read this book, if you enjoy fiction.

I thought Flat Stanley was full of adventure. I also thought it was really funny. I had a lot of connections with the book. It is about a boy that is flat because a bulletin board falls on him. He has many adventures and recognizes that being flat can be good. My favorite characters are Stanley, and Arthur, Stanley’s brother. I love when Arthur, who is not flat, tries to slide under the door. I recommend this book for people who like funny things.

I recommend Flat Stanley. It is a really funny book. It is about a boy that got flat when a bulletin board falls on him and he becomes a picture. He has many adventures. He helps to find the sneak thieves who are stealing paintings from the museum. I liked it when the sneak thieves said that they needed a rest and the police said, “You’ll get a rest, all right! You’ll get ar-rested!” I recommend this book because it is a really funny book.
