A Book Challenge for Andre


Andre was 37 years old. He died from heart disease. He was a very nice man. He lived with Stacey and his two cats and one dog. He was my uncle and l loved him a lot.

I am donating money for the Family Room at the hospital to remember Andre. I want to help to make $250 - maybe more. I am going to ask people to give me 25 cents for every book I read. My goal is to read 100 books.

Book 36 - Amanda and Her Alligator by Mo Willems

This book is really funny!
In one part they get a panda bear as a pet.  Alligator was not sure he liked the panda but then they figured out that they liked each other because they like doing the same things.


At another part Alligator was bored so he was chewing on Amanda's head.  It was really funny AND somewhere in this book is a hidden Pigeon!!
Aunt Stacey gave me this book and it was really really funny.  This is a gold star!

Book 35 - Sponge Bob Squarepants - Storm Warning by Sonia Sander

A Gold Star Book.
Everybody got sent home from work early because there was going to be a big snowstorm. Patrick and Sponge Bob decided to have a snow storm party. Squidward did not go to the party because he was too busy getting his house ready for the storm. Patrick and Sponge Bob had a big party but then the snow storm came but only on Squidward's house.

Book 34 - Sponge Bob Squarepants - Clean Sweep by Sonia Sander

This book is a silver star.
Sponge Bob found some litter and decided to clean up Bikini Bottom but then he got carried away and started taking things that were not garbage. He ended up having to put stuff back that he took. This book was easy to read.

Book 33 - Sponge Bob Square Pants- I Saw It All by Sonia Sander

Gold star book becuase I like Sponge Bob.
Sponge Bob kept making up crazy reasons why there was money missing from his work. He blamed Plankton, then said maybe it was a tall, mean, coin-grabbing, straw-stealing outlaw. Then finally he blamed a scary coin-eating monster with big jaws who could chew through walls. Then the customer who forgot to pay his bill came back and Sponge Bob said that was going to be his next guess.


Book 32 - The Life and Times of Douglas Harold Saunderson. An Unauthorized Biography by his Mother.

This is one of my favourite books.  It was written just for me!

Grampy used to have a cool jeep but now he drives a lawn tractor.  My favourite part is a story about when Grampy was little.  They drove through a covered bridge and it was very dark inside.  Grampy was only 2 years old and when they went through the bridge Grampy pullled out his shirt and said "Where is me?" because he couldn't see himself.

One time when Grampy was little and he was supposed to be having a nap and he snuck out of his room and got a whole bunch of strawberries and when his mom found him he had them all over his room and himself.

When Grampy Doug got a job at Vito's he gained 30 pounds from eating pizza every day!

Grampy Doug's brother Jeff taught me how to steer a sailboat using a a wheel as big as me or just to do it the easy way by pushing a button.

I love this book because it has funny stories about my Grampy!  Thanks Claire!

Book 31 - The Tawny Scrawny Lion by Katheryn Jackson

It is all about a tawny scrawny lion.  He chases zebras, monkeys, bears and kangaroos.  A rabbit comes along and the big animals ask him to talk to the lion.  The lion was too skinny to have a talk with the rabbit so the rabbit took him to his house for supper.  They had to stop a bunch of times on the way for fish and berries and other things.  So the rabbits feed him lots of carrot stew and then he only wants to eat carrot stew and not animals.  Except fish because they are a type of animal and they are in the stew. 

 Aunt Stacey read this book as a kid.  She thinks it should be a gold star because it has good memories of being a kid.   I think it is a gold star too.

Book 30 - Scaredy Squirrel has a Birthday Party by Melanie Watt

I like it.  It is by Melanie Watt, one of my favourite authors to be exact. 
Scaredy Squirrel is scared of everything - germs, confetti, a whole bunch of things.  Scaredy Squirrel likes a plan, just like Aunt Stacey and just like me.  We love planning, one time we planned a mascot cake for the Olympics.  Except Scaredy Squirrel's ideas never work and ours always do. 

We have to plan a party for Aunt Stacey's birthday. This book was a gift from Aunt Stacey because I read so many books already!

Book 29 - The Monster at the end of the Book by Jon Stone

This is a gold star book.  Grover is so scared because there is a monster at the end of the book.  So he tried some stuff like tying the pages, hammering it, and bricking it and then he is at the end of the book.  He is so embarrassed.  My favourite part is the brick wall because it is really funny when it falls over on him.   My second favourite part is when he is so embarrassed.  My third favourite part is when he is near the end of the book and he says"Please, please, please do not turn the page!"



Book 28 - It's a Book by Lane Smith

Thank you Barb for the book.  I LOVE this book!  It says my favourite word, I know you are wondering what it is - Jackass. Stacey used to call Andre 'jackass' but only in a funny nice way.

The characters are a mouse, a monkey and a jackass.  It is about a jackass that doesn't even know what a book is.  The monkey has a book. The jackass asks what is it and the monkey says it is a book.  The jackass wants to know if it can text, tweet or toot.  The jackass borrows the book and promises to charge it up.  The mouse tells him you don't have to because "it's a book jackass. 

It is a GOLD star!
