Niagara Falls or Does It

Niagara Falls, Or Does It? by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is a short children's novel for Age 8-12 years or Grades 3-7. It's the first in the Hank Zipzer series. I borrowed this book from my previous job to review after reading a autobiographical piece by Henry Winkler. Though, this book is about a kid struggling with dyslexia, who doesn't even know it, there are concepts here universal for us all and we could all learn a bit from from it. So, you hope you listen and if you're a super big kid listening then you can finish this book in a day and hand it off to someone else. Every now and then a book can remind someone why teaching in K-12 may be worth the effort. read here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/niagara-falls-or-does-it-1-henry-winkler/285b653a84f02f5a?ean=9780448431628&next=t [https://bookshop.org/p/books/niagara-falls-or-does-it-1-henry-winkler/285b653a84f02f5a?ean=9780448431628&next=t] follow me: matthewlh702@proton.me [matthewlh702@proton.me]  https://discord.gg/36WxYB7T [https://discord.gg/36WxYB7T]   https://locals.com/bookstoread/feed [https://locals.com/bookstoread/feed]   https://x.com/BookChatWithYou [https://x.com/BookChatWithYou]

Matilda - A Very Smart Young Girl

Matilda by Roald Dahl. What more can be said about this timeless classic? I will admit I kinda like the movie better than the book which is ironic because the material is kinda anti movie huh? It is funny how the book has some anti-American lines, but the movie is American. Danny DeVito and Mara Wilson were great in those. It was kinda neat how her powers manifested differently in the book though. That made for a quieter ending at the end though huh? What do you think? Did you read the book, watch the movie and watch the play? read here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/matilda-roald-dahl/824a5772c165334f?ean=9780142410370&next=t [https://bookshop.org/p/books/matilda-roald-dahl/824a5772c165334f?ean=9780142410370&next=t]  follow me: matthewlh702@proton.me [matthewlh702@proton.me] https://discord.gg/36WxYB7T [https://discord.gg/36WxYB7T]  https://locals.com/bookstoread/feed [https://locals.com/bookstoread/feed]  https://x.com/BookChatWithYou  [https://x.com/BookChatWithYou]

Island of the Blue Dolphins - Solitude & Survival

This is an archive in which I covered Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. It is quite a brutal novel. I wouldn't have known it was a children's novel if not for doing a bit of research for the review. It is about a woman living on her for about twenty years after her tribe had been murder by seal hunters. Year after year her tribe had been given a poor deal in exchange for allowing a foreign sailors to seal hunt in their lands. Finally their tribe leader protests and rebels leading to the slaughter of their people. This leads our main character to live for years on her own without companion. This archive doesn't exactly follow the conversational tone I aim for. As of this writing I am studying for a post-graduates degree, but that is for me and perhaps for employment. As for books I feel conversations are more important than trying to slip in every piece of literary jargon possible. I mean, your opinion is more important than mine after-all.

Space Station Rat - Can a rat save the day?

This is an archive I made many many many years ago of Space Station Rat by Michael J Daley. I don't remember this whole story other than I had a full cast audio of it I got from Humble Bundle. A boy everyone finds annoying (just a normal kid) befriends a stowaway genius rat that escapes to horrible experiments. I'm not even sure I read the book or just listened to it. Either way it was a fun kids book and you should check it out even if you're like grandparent aged and just want something fun to listen to.

A Note on the Next Four Episodes

This is Book Chat with You. This is just a quick announcement. The next four episodes are archives from before. One from the stone age and a few a bit more recent, but I just never uploaded on here for several reasons. I should have done this a week ago when I had no time for this, but perhaps this will give me a bit of a buffer. follow me: matthewlh702@proton.me  https://discord.gg/36WxYB7T  https://locals.com/bookstoread/feed https://x.com/BookChatWithYou
