The Moon Over Star by Dianna Hutts Aston

Book review by Olivia H. - 3rd grade

This is a story about how a girl named Mae and her family celebrate the first moon launching. It's 1969 and the first moon launching is today. Mae and her family are at her grandma's farm. the only one not excited is Mae's grandpa, who thinks it is a waste of money.

My favorite part is when Mae and her family watch the first men on the moon on TV. If you like space and poetry, I would highly recommend this book!

Rosa Parks by Eloise Greenfield

A Book Review by Anna H. - 3rd grade

This is a story about Rosa Parks. Rosa didn't like the rules about white and black people so she decided she wanted to change them. Rosa Parks went to school at an Industrial School for Girls. She lives in Montgomery, Alabama. She tries to get on a bus without having to give up her seat to a white person. She goes to jail and in a couple hours, Mr. Nixon gets her out. She continues to try to make a difference.

My favorite part of the book is when Rosa and all of the black people were being heroic and walked to work, school and any other place they needed to go. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about black history.

Satchel Paige by Lesa Cline Ransome

A book review by Daniel K. - 3rd grade

This book is a very inspiring story of a famous baseball player. Satchel grew up poor, but played for many baseball teams. He was one of the best pitchers of his time. My favorite part of the book is when he made his first no-hitter! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball. They will love this book.
