EDRG 3321 Literature for Public School


Hello, Classmates

Here are three more books that I found in my sons room. I did go on line and research these authors as well. I remember reading my child theses books when he was very small. Each of these books teach a lesson. However, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is one of the newest books that I have read and it was excellent for older kids (8-12)!

Author:
Don Gillmore

Website: http:

This website was not that great to me. it really was kind of generic. It did show me some of the other books he published and it had links to other authors. I would highly recommend reading "When Vegetables Go Bad!" It will makes kids want to eat their veggies.

This website was set up weird to me. It showed a list of all the books that she published. The readers Could go in there an rate the books, which I thought was kind of cool. I would recommend reading "The Fisherman and His Wife with Benjy the Bubbles". The great thing about this story is that it has a lengthy part for more advanced readers and a shorter part for beginners.

  1. I have heard such great things about this "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series that I am going to have to force myself to read them sometime soon. Regarding the books that you have listed, try to give me a little more information concerning the content (a brief summary) and what ages they would be useful for.
