Book Reviews of Lawn Boy
Book Review: Lawn Boy
Summary: 4 Stars
We used this book in a 3rd grade book club. The kids loved the book. They found it easy to read and enjoyed the length of each chapter since each chapter was short, they met with success. The topic of stocks was above them and probably better suited for a 4th or 5th grader. But they did identify with making money since most had jobs around the house that they earned money for and they were doing an economy lesson in school at the time so some of the concepts really reinforced what they were doing in class.
The other nice thing about this book is that it is contemporary to their lives, many of the books we have read in book club are great works of litature but they were written a lot of years before their time. This was a book that talked about current tv shows and things have happened in recent times.
Book Review: Cool!
Summary: 4 Stars
the end is the best part!!!!!!! 2nd best book I've ever read.#1 is dairy of a whimpy kid series. This book looks boring to us kids if you just read the name of the chapters,but read them and they are funny. The chapters look like the teach you and make you learn but they really have nothing to do with the names. They do really astonishing things with the money he earns. IN OTHER WORDS, READ THIS
READ THIS REVEIW
RATE IT GOOD Review: Great book for young boys
Summary: 5 Stars My 10 year old son (who does not particularly like to read) loved this book. He read it in less than a week (it is only 88 pages), and would frequently talk about it - telling us what was going on in the story - the boy starts a lawn mowing business and one of his clients invests the money for him. We would get daily updates as to how much money the boy has now. It also sparked some discussion as to how savings, investing and 401Ks and other retirement accounts work. Not your normal dinner conversation with a 10 yr old. A great find for any boy that is into lawn mowers or entrepenurship!
Book Review: PICKY SON LOVES IT
Summary: 5 Stars
My son is 9 and rather picky on what he reads. He is a big fan of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, in one of the reviews a parent was saying it had a similar writing style. So I took a chance and bought it, that parent was right on! My son LOVES this book, the way it's written and I have been told several times how funny it is and how up to date it is. He loved that the Grandma was watching CSI! Also, I liked that is is a full blown chapter book, no comics or anything and the words are perfect for a 3rd or 4th grade fun read. Highly Recommend this author!Book Review: Great book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, Amazon was able to recommend a book that my son loved. I used to say that I had a son that didn't enjoy reading, but I feel like I can't say that anymore. He loved this story and kept reading parts out loud to the rest of the family. We all ended up reading and enjoying it. The main character is very easy to relate to and the author did an amazing job getting the reader to understand the character's problems and emotions. This book is a must read for all kids!!
