Inside View of a Book
Book Reviews by RIFSoCal Kids allow us to see value in books from a child’s point of view. The following are a few of thousands of thank you notes containing reviews of the books chosen by our kids. They are poignant, funny, and honest as only a child can be.
Main Street by Ann Martin
“Thank you for giving us the wonderful books. I got a book called Main Street: Best Friends. So far I read to pg. 11 and it got interesting. When I read it, I don’t want to stop. When I stop I see what’s happening and I want to read it more and more…Thank you very much for sending all these wonderful books. I hope you send us lots more books so I could get a chance to read all of them. Your Friend, Brenda”
Oops-A-Daisy!
Dear RIF,
Thank you for organizing the book fair. My son enjoys reading so much. When the teacher said to pick one book to take home, he was so excited.
The book my son chose is titled, Oops-a-Daisy! by Claire Freedman. What my son likes about this story is that the baby rabbit does not stop trying to jump and hop.
He noticed that other baby animals in the story are going through the same baby steps. This story has helped my son to view trial and error as a learning lesson and that practice makes perfect.
Please continue to provide our children books to help them develop into mature, confident, and respectful people.
Thank you, Michael
Bear At Home
I am writing to thank you for the Bear At Home book and to tell you how much my son, Luc, enjoyed reading this book that he received. It is officially his favorite book, and [he] has asked to have this book be read to him over and over again!
This book is about a bear that takes the reader on a journey to explore his house. Luc’s favorite part of the story was when Luc got to explore the bear’s play room. Luc says that “I want to go play with the bear in his playroom”. Luc really got into this book and enjoyed reading it with his whole family. Sincerely, Stacy
