He wanted a dog, and only a dog.  Henry made an advertisement with really cool stuff like time travelling machine for a dog. Henry wants a dog more that the other things in the world.

He gets in to a dog costume and goes near Henry.  But then he relized that he isn’t good at caatching the ball or running.  Henry finds out that his dog is a duck not a dog. But Henry really liked him and forgoted abot the dog. Hnery and the duck became best friends.

I had quite lot connections for the picture book called “Bat’s Big Game”. This picture book is written by  Margaret Read MacDonald and illustrated by Eugenia Nobati. This picture book is about a bat that always wants to be in the winning side of  the team. The first connection of me about this book is when I was young I always wanted to be on the winning side. The second connection is text to text I’ve read many books about a person can’t get what he wants.

This book is about a kid and is written by Barb Rosenstock illustrated by Mary Grandpre. The book is about  a little boy named Vasya Kandinsky. He was a  normal Russian boy. He studied books went to school until his aunt gave him a paint box.  Vasya Kadinsky was a normal boy. He was studying math and history after that he started playing the piano. He was  polite. After that his aunt bought him a paint box and then Kadinsky started painting houses and flowers like everyone else.  But then he started mixing the colours and drawing different things. My connections about this book are that we both were born in Russia. I was also born in Moscow.

The book  “After The Fall= How Humpty Dumpty Got back Up Again” is written and illlustrated by Dan Santat. This is a great picture book for the kids from age 5-8.  This book  starts with Humpty Dumpty loves to clib to the walls and watch the birds. After that he falls down. And after that he starts being  scared from hights and doesn’t climb to the wall again.

This picture book is written by  William kamwamba (the boy in the story)  and Bryan Mealer. It is illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon. This book is avout a 14 year  old boy left his school to help his family. His family is very poor and has no money to even eat. William  Kamkwamba sneaks in to a library and learns how to build a windmill by using electricity. This boy lives in Malawi. My only connection about this bookk is on internet I see a lot of poor African people building random devices and earning money from that. William  Kamkwamba builded this device in 2002.

Today In class we read a book called “The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau”. This picture book is written and Illustrated by Dan Yaccarina. The book is for age 6 to 9 year old people. This book is about Jacques Cousteau and his TV Show.  He set sail aboard the Calypso to see the sea. He and his team of scientists invented diving equipment and waterproof cameras.  I’ve been in the water many times and snorkell. I’ve also read a lot of books about a person in the water. For text to world Around the world there is a lot of people that sails in the water  and take videos of the animals. There is a person on internet that always dives in to the water and take videos or pictures of it.

Nerdy Birdy Tweets‘ is a great picture book written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Matt Davies. It tells the story about two completely different birds, but Vulture and Nerdy Birdy are best friends. Nerdy Birdy is tiny, wears glasses, and enjoys playing video games, while big o’ Vulture thinks games are boring just like Nerdy Birdy thinks snacking on dead things is disgusting. They both enjoy taking goofy pictures of each other and making fun of each other’s lunch.

This is a wonderful picture book, because of how realistic and entertaining the author wrote it. The realistic component of it is the main one. Nerdy Birdy was so caught up in his cell phone, that he forgot about his best friend’s feelings, which actually happens quite a bit in the modern world. Personally, I can connect to this quite strongly. Almost everyone in Grade 7 has at least one Instagram account, and occasionally, I would see people post things that embarrasses their friends. And I understand that the internet can affect your life positively or negatively. Unlike Nerdy Birdy, I haven’t forgotten about the people around me, but I still enjoy messaging and posting on social media. And I know a lot of people can relate to me. The story is also entertaining to read because the author changed the real name of a brand, such as Apple™, to something else in the same category, like ‘Banana’. Reynolds named ‘Tweetster’ after Twitter™, and ‘Angry Worms’ after Angry Birds™.

Overall, this book uses simple language but gives out a powerful and unique message. I recommend this to anyone who uses the internet. Although you may not be addicted yet, it would still be useful to know the potential outcomes of the internet.

This picture book was written by Katherine Applegate and Brian Karas. This book is about a baby is captured by a gorilla , Ivan was brought to a Tacoma, Washington, mall to attract shoppers. Gradually, public pressure built until a better way of life for Ivan was found at Zoo Atlanta. From the Congo to America, and from a local business attraction to a national symbol of animal welfare, Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla traveled an astonishing distance in miles and in impact.
This is his true story and includes photographs of Ivan in the back matter.

My last act of kindness was carryinhg my cousin in Fortnite. I think that was a good act of kindness because it was his first win and he was so happy. I also felt happy because it is good to carry someone in Fortnite.

My fourth kindness was when Sebby M needed a pencil I gave him one. That was a good act of kindness I guess.
