Dinosaurs Before Dark

The book I read is “Dinosaurs Before Dark” written by Mary Pope Osborne.

The main characters are Morgan, Annie and Jack. Jack likes to take notes and he is careful. Annie likes animals and she isn’t as careful as Jack. Morgan is a magical librarian from Camelot and Jack and Annie do stuff in the books for Morgan to put in her library.

This is the first book in the series. Annie discovered a rope ladder and showed it to Jack. This is when they discovered the treehouse. Annie went into the treehouse, but Jack called her to come down. Annie hollered that there were books in the treehouse. Jack loved books and he went into the treehouse. Since Jack liked dinosaurs Annie gave him a dinosaur book to read. When he was looking at the Pteranodon( ter-AN-oh-don) picture he said, “Oh, I wish I could see a real Pteranodon!” Then a Pteranodon came flying by and it looked like a glider plane. The treehouse started to spin and Jack was leaning out of the window. Annie told Jack to get inside the treehouse and pulled him out of the window. The treehouse was spinning and then all of a sudden it was still.

Jack looked out the window and realized the world outside was just like the book he was holding.

Annie ran to explore and although Jack was afraid he went after her. After exploring they decided they needed to get back to Pennsylvania.

When they got back to the treehouse Jack discovered that he forgot the book on the hill and went back to get it. Annie stayed back and waited for him since it wasn’t that far. A T-Rex was by the book and Jack hid behind a tree. Annie saw this from inside the treehouse and she went down and talked to the Pteranodon asking it to go help Jack. And that’s exactly what the Pteranodon did. It went and brought Jack and the book back, but the T-Rex was chasing it. Jack and Annie got back in the treehouse and Jack said he wanted to go back to Pennsylvania. Annie realized he didn’t have the book in his hand like he did when they came, so they got the book and Jack said “I want to be back in Pennsylvania.” The tree started spinning just before the T-Rex got to them and they were safely back home.

Ocean Box

Hello this is Daniel and this is my ocean box. Sereina helped me a little bit and it's really cool. The inside blue is blended in with the other blue. All we needed was blue paint and water to make it blend in.

As we learn of animals we are going to make the animals and put them in the ocean boxes. The ocean boxes are already dry.

The Adventures of Fred the Ladybug

Hi I am Daniel and here is my pet ladybug that I can't always find in our house. He takes flying lessons. I think the amount of spots is how old he is and since he only has one I guess that he's only 1 year old. Here is a story I just made up.

Once Fred the ladybug was just walking near the park, then he saw a criminal. The criminal was going to steal everyone's stuff. He put his sharp wings on just in case that criminal could fly. Then he figured out that the criminal couldn't fly so he put his flat wings on. Then he just figured out that he could run really really fast. Don't worry about anything in this, because it's just a comic book. Then he turned himself into a leopard with sneakers on. He could run faster than the criminal. Now Fred ran to New York because the criminal ran all the way to New York.

Then he lived happily ever after.

The End.

High Tide in Hawaii

The book I just finished reading is called "High Tide in Hawaii" written by Mary Pope Osborn. It is the 28th book in the Magic Tree House series.

The main characters are Jack, Annie and Morgan. Jack likes to take notes and he is more careful than Annie. Annie likes animals and she likes going places and she is not as careful as Jack. She can always tell when the Magic Tree House shows up. Morgan is a magical librarian from Camelot.

Jack and Annie go to Hawaii in the Magic Tree House. Morgan left them a riddle in the Magic Tree House and they figured out that they had to build some sort of ship that never sinks and always floats. Jack felt an earthquake and then read in his book that when a earthquake happens there is always a tidal wave. Even though Jack had a hard time surfing the first time he tried, he decided to surf to Annie, Kama and Boka, some kids they met in Hawaii to warn them. This time Jack did better, because Kama told him before that it's better to stay on your stomach when you surf. The answer to Morgan's riddle was "friendship."

And if you want to see how it turned out you need to read the book.

Chef Daniel Helps with Dinner

I love to cook things. Two times I helped make biscuits. This is all the things that I helped with. I helped with measuring the ingredients, I rolled the dough out and I also did the most important thing... cutting the biscuits all by myself. I didn't have any help with rolling and cutting the biscuits.

There is something else I did. I helped beat the meat. I really liked to do it, but it got kind of hard.

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do.

Good Morning Gorillas

This is my book review of "Good Morning Gorillas" written by Mary Pope Osborn. It is another Magic Tree House book.

The main characters in the Magic Tree House books are Jack, Annie and Morgan. Jack likes to write notes and he is very careful in everything he does. Annie likes animals and isn't as careful as Jack. Morgan is a magical librarian from Camelot.

The Magic Tree House takes Jack and Annie to a cloud forest in Africa. It takes them so high it looks like they are in the clouds. Annie found a baby gorilla and Annie named it "Bu Bu". Later on they find a family of gorillas. A mother gorilla is called a Silverback because it has a silver back. Later Jack looks in the book about gorillas to look up how to be friends with a gorilla. He needed to act like a gorilla and also he pretended to eat plants and other stuff that real gorillas eat, like berries, leaves, bamboo, branches, bark, twigs, ferns and flowers.

In the end they don't want to leave because they really missed the gorillas, but they had to because they were done with the mission.

I really liked this story because it was funny and I like reading Magic Tree House books.

Magic Tree House - Christmas at Camelot

I just read my first chapter book and I finished it last night.

The name of the book I read is "Christmas in Camelot" which is a Magic Tree House book and it was written by Mary Pope Osborne.

The main characters in the story are Jack, Annie and Morgan. Jack likes to read books and he is very careful. Annie likes to explore. Morgan is a magical librarian from Camelot and she collects books for her library from different times and places.

In this story they go to Camelot but they don't know how to get there because they have no books about Camelot because it's legend. Annie makes a wish to go there, then Jack and Annie go there in the Magic Tree House.

All the people like Morgan, the knights, Merlin and King Arthur were frozen. A Christmas Knight froze them and he said for them to get the Silver Cup full of Water of Memory and Imagination.

Jack and Annie rode a white stag to the other world and figured out that they could turn invisible to get past the guards at the gate. They saw dancers dancing in a circle and Jack wanted to dance with them and then Jack went to go with them. It's a magical circle and once you get in you don't want to leave. Annie pulled Jack out of the circle.

The Christmas Knight told them to get the water out of a cauldron. They had to use the key that Lancelot gave them to get into a crystal cave. Jack and Annie found the cauldron pot and filled their cup with the water just before they say a dragon like monster that shoots blue fire. Jack and Annie picked up sticks with fire on them to scare the dragon back and they escaped.

Then they saw the knights again and they forgot where their horses were, but Jack and Annie knew where they were. Then they went back towards Camelot and they saw the white stag. The knight said to get on the white stag because it's magic and they'll go faster.

When they got back in the castle Jack accidentally tripped and the water went out of the cup and it froze up into nothing and there was a big cloud. Then somehow King Arthur, Merlin, the knights and Morgan weren't froze anymore.

I liked the story because it was exciting.

Finding Stuff at the Beach

One day when I was at the beach I found in the water a dead fish and seaweed.

Here is the fish I found. When I put it back I put it back in the water and forgot to feed it to the birds.

Doctor Daniel

Hello my name is Dr. Daniel and I do surgery, fix broken arms, legs and help people when they are sick and stuff like that.

I once fixed a girl's broken arm. I kept giving her so many shots that she shot out. Hee! Hee! I had to give her surgery, but she didn't let me do surgery. I had to look inside her mouth and I put my head inside. Giggle! Giggle!

If you are ever sick, you can come see me.

Sticky Hands

One day I found a frog. Mamma found a home for it that I could keep it in. It was a jumbo pickle jar and she put rocks, dirt, plants and water in for my frog. I named my frog Sticky Hands because his hands were sticky. He liked his home. He liked to hide in the clovers.

I was gonna have it be a pet but my sisters said for me to let it go. They kept bugging me telling me they would give me an ice cream sandwhich if I let it go. They kept bugging me too much about letting it go, so after only two days I decided to let it go. I let it go in the pond in our back yard.
