I love Jumanji because the lesson is to always read directions so if you are playing a game that you just bought read the directions.Pearl

My favorite Chris Van Allsburg that we read so far is The Widow's Broom.I think the lesson that he was trying to teach is we shouldn't dislike the things we can't understand.

I really liked the book[The Widows Broom].The lesson of this story is don't be afraid of something you don't understand because it could be nice and just want to be your bff.
My favorite part is when the dog jumps up and bites the hanndle of the broom and the dog holds on but not for long because the broom shakes and shakes until the dog flys off and they can't find them until around the end of the story and I even think this is my favorit book in the hole wide world that I have already read because it is funny,cool,and awsome.I love this book so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much.
