My favorite book by Chris Van Allsburg is The Wretched Stone. I like this book because I like ships and it is a good story. I think that the stone wanted to get on board and got its wish.

My favorite book by Chris Van Allsburg is The Sweetest Fig.
The reason why I like this book is because it made me think of lots and lots of questions.
I like the part when the tower in Paris turned into rubber and fell over.
I also like the end of the book because it was a great idea to switch the dog with the human!

Zathura the reason I like this book is because it has lots of action; and all kinds of cool space things in it. I also like when the boy and his brother where fighting together over a broke walkie talkie. That was totally cool when peter went into a very dark hole and then he disappeared into it. But steal yet to come what would happen next in the story and inside the game with the two smart boys to figure out what to do next. This book made me think about what could possibly happen next amocste the two young boys in the story.

My favorite book is by Chris van Allsburg is Polar Express
I found it to be a mind twisting book.
The reason this book is my favorite
Is because some people can hear the bell and some can not.
Even his own sister could no longer hear the bell no more!

My favorite is by Chris Van Allsburg is The Polar Express. The reason I like this book is that I like how he Fritz in on the train going the North Pole. I also like how he put the train as a car or truck. When the Polar Express leaves the house going to the North Pole it sometimes I feel like that I’m on the train going to the North Pole.

My favorite book made from Chris Van Allburg was The Stranger because he was a hard working man. Chris put in the dog which was very hard to find the dog. Chris Van Allburg made dog as a sheep. This is my favorite book from Chris Van Allburg. And his other book too that Chris made.

My favorite book by Chris Van Allsburg is Juminji. Cause I like how he used a little ending to it. But it’s no normal ending, it’s a sequel! The next one is about space.
Is this the end of the book? Or isn’t? But we will found out some day.
