Yes,he frightened Papa and basically kidnapped me, but something truly terrible  has befallen him.

All Prince Riley (the son of a king and queen of one of the seven kingdoms)wants is a normal life with his royal family, but a witch casts a spell on him and turns him into a beast!!!
All Beauty wants is to support her family, but a beast captures her in his perfect plan!!!

This wonderful book contains powerful lessons about love and tight budget constraints.family is a big word here.Some people don’t understand the scene when Beauty’s house burns down, leaving her family with nothing but each other(and a few dresses that Beauty’s sister
Clarissa grabbed).Someone who can’t afford anything?Some people are like that.

At a time where only love matters,Beauty and the Beast comes out a winner for a story that you can relate to many others. Bridge to Terabithia, The Tiger Rising, or 11 Birthdays all show this. I highly recommend this book to all ages because truly, anybody can enjoy this touching book.

‘’Oh’’! Peter why didn’t you tell me you had a hole in your sock ‘’I  didn’t  know I had a hole in my sock.
Tales of The Fourth Grade Nothing is about a 8 year old boy (Peter Hatcher) who thinks  his life is falling apart because his younger brother(Fudge) is making his life miserable by getting lost in the movies to having a temper tantrum in the shoe store Peter always half to watch on him.

In Tales of The Fourth Grade Nothing the message in this is you should always be nice to your brothers and sisters,don’t invade people’s properties,and give people some space for a while.

I recommend Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing to kids and adults 8 and older.Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing is a winner for a humorous story.
