This book is about someone, the hippo, trying to change his or her self in order for the another person, the cheetah, to want to be friends with them. However, by the end of the story, the hippo realizes that it is too hard to become the cheetah's friend, so the hippo sticks to what it likes to do, and eventually the cheetah realizes how good of a friend the hippo was and comes back to make amends in the end. I liked that this book showed how you shouldn't have to go out of your way to change in order for someone to like you. It is good to just be yourself. I'd recommend this book for grades 3-5.… (mere)

This is a cute and easy book to read. It's about a dad who has to build a big bed because his family is growing and everyone wants to sleep together. The bed is so huge that it causes the house to fall apart. One day when dad wakes up, he realizes that the bed that they are all sleeping on has floated into the water. So he makes all the children sleep in their own beds. One night he realizes that he actually misses all the children sleeping in the same room as he and his wife so he allows them to come back. This book is a good read, but for entertainment only.… (mere)
