      I like the mitten because I like it when the animals crawl into the mitten.The animals think the mitten is a blanket.they go inside the mitten so they can stay warm.When the last animal gets inside the mitten,the last animal sneezes.Then the mitten falls in the sky and Nicki catches it.

      My favorite book by Jan Brett was Trouble With Trolls because Treva gave away her clothes for her dog and she is very nice. My least favorite book was Daisy Comes Home because Daisy got lost and a Fisherman took Daisy.Also my other least favorite book was Fritz and the Beatiful horses because Fritz was not a beatiful pony. I think other kids would like Trouble with Trolls because Treva gave away her clothes for her dog.

      My favorite book by Jan Brett is the Gingerbread Friends because the Gingerbread Baby found 20 friends.My favorite part in the story is when he went in the mouse hole and the mouse was about to eat him because it was funny. The character I liked alot is the Gingerbread baby because he was very funny. The part I did not like was when the people chased him out of the cake store. I think other children should read this book because there are funny parts.

      Our class studied Jan Brett. We really enjoy all of her books. Some of our favorites are Honey, Honey, Lion!, Annie and the Wild Animals, The Hat, Armadillo Rodeo, The Mitten, and The 3 Little Dassies. We enjoyed these books because they were so funny. ” It was very funny when the Armadillo in Armadillo Rodeo thought Harmony Jean’s boot was a real friend” said Hema. “It was funny when the Honey Badger took the Honey Guide to the lion” exclaimed Isabel. Andrew agreed! We hope you find Jan Brett’s books funny too!
