2nd grader Timothy says, "This book is about a spider who wants to be a pet but people keep throwing it away! But suddenly lots of sparkly webs appear! Could it be the spider?

2nd grader Matthew says, "This book is about a girl named Tillie. Her school has a good principal but that principal can get a little carried away. One day the principal gathers every person in the school. He said that he loved the school so much that "Let's have school on Sundays and Saturdays and holidays and on winter break and summer break and spring break. It was up to Tillie to change things back to normal. I like this book because the author makes the principal force you to have school on Saturdays and Sundays, holidays and summer break, winter break and spring break."

Diana says, "In this book there is a kind of bad bunny but his little cousin comes over and he becomes the Very Bad bunny. He cheats and he never says, "Sorry" once. But Funny Bunny, he only gets tangled up in his brother's yoyo by accident and does everything by accident. He was sorry. This is a funny book. It is surprising. I never knew that the Very Bad Bunny was such a good artist and that Funny Bunny was so good at making paper dolls with the newspaper before his dad read it."

We learned a lot about our state with this easy to read book."
