Ralph S.Mouse-Bevely Cleary


This story is about a mouse named Ralph. And of his loss of his motorcycle when it was crushed by a boy who went to the same school as Ralph's owner Bryan when they were fighting. But at least Ralph got a race car as pay back. If you are wondering what the boys name was it is Brad. Even though Brad thought that Ralph wasn't smart at all. But soon they became best friends when Brad realized how smart Ralph was. After Ralph tried out his race car he made sure his relatives had a turn.

I liked this book because I like exciting books and animal books!

Eragon Series

Eragon Series


Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (There is no "E" in it) was written by Christopher Paolini. Christopher is home schooled just like us. And started the books when he was only 15 years old.

Eragon is a normal farm boy from Carvahall. One day, on an ordinary hunting trip Eragon comes upon a strange stone, and takes it home. The stone brings trouble for Eragon and his uncle, Garrow and cousin, Roran. One dark night Eragon is awaken by a strange noise, he sees that the stone is cracking revealing a strange creature, a dragon! The dragon grows and grows! And Eragon builds a strong friendship with the dragon, whom he names Saph
ira. Strange people come looking for Saphira killing anyone who gets in their way, upon finding Eragon had the stone they kill his uncle and burns down his house. And Eragon is forced to flee with the town storyteller, Brom, who has a special interest in Eragon. On their journey Eragon is faced with many decisions; to fight with the Varden to destroy the evil Galbatorix, who tried to erase the dragon race, or join Galbatorix, the evil King, to conquer the rebel Varden! Eragon chooses the Varden and as a result is in many battles and deals with deaths of friends and family. Will Eragon defeat Galbatorix or die trying? I don't know, because Christopher will reveal this in the fourth book.

I recommend this book to people who like adventure and surprises! I really liked this book, for it has a great story line and it was well written. There was not a lesson to learn from this book. If you have seen the movie, do not compare it to the book, the book is better and they are very different.

What in the world is this blog about?

Well, first off, welcome! So glad you are here!

You know, as a homeschooling mom, we try to get creative with schooling to make it more enjoyable for all, but never lessen the learning potential.

Who likes book reports? I never did in school and my kids pretty much adopted that mindset as well. Mainly because they couldn't understand the purpose of a book report, especially because only mom reads them......hmmmm..that got my brains thinking.

So, I figured I would make them blog their book reports for you all instead! With exciting pictures, their likes and dislikes, hey maybe it will inspire you to read a book they have read! You never know!

So I wonder who will be first.....the excitement begins!

Make sure you leave comments to let them know how their report was!
