The book Bat’s Big Game is Retold by Margaret Read MacDonald and illustrated by Eugenia Nobati is a great book for 5-7-year-old kids. In this story, there were animals and the birds who wanted to start a soccer game so they did. Then Bat came along and wanted to join so he joined the animal’s team. Then since the animals were losing he snuck off and asked if he could be on the bird’s team. The birds let him join. So then he played on the animal’s team again and then they noticed that he was switching teams and he got in trouble and wasn’t allowed to play. The moral of the story is that no matter if your team is losing you always stick together.

In conclusion, this is a great story for 5-7 year old kids thanks to the amazing author and illustrator Tom Sullivan.

The book Enemy Pie by Derek Munson and illustrated by Tara Calahan King is a great book for middle aged students. This story is about a boy who thought it was the perfect summer until Jeremy Ross moved into the house down the street and Jeremy Ross became enemy number one. Luckily, his dad had a way to get rid of enemies, called enemy pie. But to make the enemy pie work he had to spend a whole day with Jeremy Ross. In the end the boy actually didn’t mind Jeremy Ross so they ate the enemy pie together and were friends ever since. I liked this story because it teaches kids to never think bad of someone without trying to be their friend.

Overall the illustrator and the author have created a great book for middle aged students.

This story is called Stolen Words written by Melanie Florence and illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. The book started with men and women dressed in black had taken her grandpa and his words and his family’s laughter. This story is about residential schools and how residential schools took the first nations kids and their language and made them speak english instead of their cultural language. My own thoughts and feelings about this story is that I feel bad for the grandpa and his granddaughter because when the granddaughter found a book of the grandpas language he was happy. The residential schools have taken their language away from the first nations and now the new generation of kids may not speak their cultural language. This book was a great story to show how residential schools have changed the first nations cultural.

Overall, I think this was a good picture book and a great lesson to teach kids. Debbi Tilley the illustrator made a great book for younger kids to read and enjoy.
