There are some Pretty Weird Grown-ups Living in Bailey City!

Hello, everybody!
Do you believe in vampires? Well, the Bailey School Kids think so! They believe in everything from mummies to angels in the Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series!
Melody, Liza, Howie and Eddie live in Bailey city. They're best friends with different personalities. But they all believe in monsters. Whenever a strange grown-up moves to Bailey City, they believe that the new someone- or something- are not humans.
The kids try to prove it, but that's hard, when nobody believes you!
The books are written by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones. They've also written The Other Side Of Magic series. The stories are illustrated by
I recommend this book for ages 7 to 10. This is a very popular series.
These books are very good and also have a few jokes in them. You should really read them!

That's Why They Call Me Jigsaw

Hey, everybody!
I'm going to talk about the Jigsaw Jones Mysteries by James Preller.
The books are about Theodore Jones, who is called Jigsaw because of his knack of solving mysteries. For a dollar a day, he makes your problems go away. He has a detective notebook and he solves mysteries with his friend, Mila Yeh.
They can solve all sorts of mysteries: from missing paintings to scary ghosts! Will Jigsaw and Mila be able to solve all the mysteries- even the wacky ones- and not get chickened out?
That's something you have to find out!
James Preller has written many other books, such as Justin Fisher Declares War!
These books can have very funny scenes in certain parts, so I recommend this series ages 7 to 10.

Ariel the Aeronaut

Hello, friends!
Have you read The Big Balloon Race, written by Eleanor Coerr, which is an I Can Read book? If not, I'll tell you about it.
Ariel's mother, Carlotta, is a famous aeronaut. One day, before a race, Ariel begs her mother to take her on the balloon too. Her mother, however, is against the idea.
So, before her mother climbs into the balloon, Ariel gets into the basket of the Lucky Star. The Lucky Star is Carlotta's balloon.
Soon, Ariel falls asleep in the basket, and when the balloon takes off, Ariel is still inside!
Will Ariel be able to help her mother win the race? Or will she just be extra weight?
Eleanor Coerr is a Canadian-born American writer. She's also written S is for Silver and Biography of a Giant Panda.

Madeline and Friends!

Dear readers,
Today I'll review the Madeline series, by Ludwig Bemelmans.
Madeline is a mischievous little girl who lives in an orphanage in Paris with twelve girls in it. Madeline is the youngest of all the girls.
She and the son of a Spanish Ambassador, Pepito, get into all sorts of problems and misadventures.
The books are written in a poem form which makes it all the more fun to read. You could also recite the poems like a song, too.
Ludwig Bemelmans is best known for the Madeline books. He has also written The Golden Basket and When You Lunch with the Emperor.
These books are recommended for ages 3-8. A television serial and a movie have also been made based on the book.
They are very funny and I love them a lot!

The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company!

Hey, readers!
Today I'll talk about The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl, and illustrated by Quentin Blake.
When young Billy passes the old sweet shop one day, he notices that it has been turned into The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company! But what kind of window-cleaning company can clean windows without a ladder?
A company that includes a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey, of course! The giraffe is the ladder, the pelican, or the Pelly, is the bucket, and the monkey is the cleaner!
Billy soon makes fast friends with  the three animals. The very same day, the Duke of Hampshire invites them to clean his windows.
While cleaning the windows, the Giraffe notices that there's a burglar in the Duke's house! The burglar is caught, but something very unfortunate happens to the Pelly's beak...
What happens to Ladderless Window Cleaning Company now that the Pelly can't be the bucket anymore?
Roald Dahl has made many different funny stories, like The BFG, Matilda, Esio Trot, and many other books. Quentin Blake has illustrated most of Roald Dahl's books.
Packed with a lot of funny jokes and songs, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me is guaranteed to entertain kids above age 7!
