Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas - Book Review

We'll get to the root of Petey's problems. Why he's the villain, in every Dog Man book. Well, this time it's different. Petey's the good guy. We'll also meet his childhood friends, who want their revenge with a giant Robo-Brontosaurus. And Petey will fight back with the power of knock-knock jokes, in Flip-O-Rama. Will the power of good arise or will Petey stay his rotten old self?  This book is very funny. Something I always enjoy about Dog Man books is Lil Petey (he's my favourite character). He always does this thing where he says "why" after everything. Here's an example from the book.  Lil Petey is never mad or angry. He is always happy and innocent. He makes many jokes that are always HILARIOUS!   I also really love Flip-O-Rama scenes,  Dav Pilkey always has Flip-O-Rama's in his books. Flip-O-Rama is when you flip a page very quickly and it looks like it is animated. I think that anyone, any age would laugh and learn some

Watch The Sky - Book Review

Before Jory's stepfather Caleb came along they used to live in the city, just Jory and his mom. His mom worked in a crummy coffee shop. She had met Caleb there when he defended her. They moved to an old farmhouse. They had found Jory's little sister in the fields eating pumpkins. Ansel, Jory's little brother, was born there.  Jory Birch has no ordinary life. He has a life full of secrets, danger, silent sister and signs.  Now he had to go to school too. Jory had always been home schooled by his mother.  Kit was a secret. So were the signs. School was school and home was home. Jory couldn't let them mix. Friends were school and family was home.  Signs were anywhere and everywhere, Caleb - Jory's stepfather says. Signs. They could be anywhere. They could be anything. They mean everything. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fishes in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. All signs.  Caleb told Jory no

Art To 2018 - My Review

A piece of art that challenged you to think about an issue The woman who is pouring water onto the girls face looks indigenous or aboriginal to me. I think that the police or SWAT team harmed the woman laying on the ground. I think that these women are protesters, they might be protesting for land or water. Kent Monkman 'Washing Mary's Tears' A piece of art that reflected someone’s identity I think that the photographer has a passion for basketball. The piece is called ‘One of The Boys’. I think that this photographer stands up for women's rights or is a feminist. I honestly love this photograph. It shows someone in a dress and holding a basketball. I feel like it has a deeper meaning than just a really nice dress. It shows that girls can do things that are usually defined as “boy” things. Esmaa Mohamoud 'One of The Boys' A piece of art from an Indigenous artist and why that piece might be important A wolf means strength, courage and loy
