George Washington by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire
This book is about George Washington before he became president. John Washington was George Washington`s great grandpa. He came from England to start a colony in the new world. George Washington grew up on three farms; oyster-shell hill, Mount Vernon, and Ferry Farm. George was taught to read, write, and dance. One day George was hunting when he met Lord Fairfax. He liked George so much that he asked him to become one of his surveyors. George agreed and traveled far into the wilderness. When he saw the first Indians he was ready to go home. When he got home, Lawrence, his step brother, taught him to be a soldier. When George was 20 he became an officer. For four years he fought off the French. The English king sent a great army. George told them to hide but the Indians crushed them. The English king sent a bigger army. They ran away and never came back. George married Martha. They had two children; Patsy and John.

Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner
I read a book called STONE FOX by John Reynolds Gardiner. It was about a boy named little Willy who wanted to stop his grandfather from losing the will to live. But first he had to win a dogsled race for 500 dollars. He was about to win but his dog died ten feet from the finish line. My favorite part was when he crossed the frozen lake on his sled.

The Littles Go Exploring- by John Peterson
The Littles are a family of eight Tom, Lucy, Mr.Little, Mrs.Little, Betsy, Granny Little, Grandpa Little, Uncle Nick, and Uncle Pete. The Littles live in the wall of Henry Big's house. Grandpa Little went missing two years ago, so the rest of the Littles went to find him. They were surprised when they found him living in a tree. My favorite part is when they shoot a firework above Henry Big's head. I hope this report influences you to read other Littles books.
