Meet Anna Wang, a Chinese girl who loves books. She takes reading as a strength, but doesn't really seem to care about friendship. Her side, or world, is all about books. Anna had made a friend named Laura. Then Laura found Allison and Lucy. Allison is sort of sassy and Lucy supports her. Soon the three girls forget and Take Anna out of their friendship. Anna doesn't seem to mind though. She lives on with her books, going into her world. After some twists and turns, Laura falls out of the group and hangs out with Anna instead. After some time together, Anna soon realizes that friendship is as good as reading books. I had a moment like this. I had a hard time making friends, too, like Anna. So I just read books. Soon, friendship crept to me. I thought this book was so good because of the story itself and the moments in the book. I understood that others had a hard time and I learned about some “tips” from the book. Have you ever had a time like Anna and me? The read The Year of the Book, for I hope it will teach you something about friendship.

Although blood donation may sound a tad bit unhygienic, cumbersome, & risky , it's a good way of reaching out for other people & showing them that you really care. There are thousands of people out there that need blood (& are not secretly vampires). Just think about it - you could save someone's life, or even the lives of many people. That's why I'm happy for the Swedish people, who are trying to make the world a better place. :D

Blood donation is a wonderful thing to do because it helps to save a person's life. People need to donate their blood. To donate their blood first the peoples will check you have a bad bacteria and enough blood, if you don't have lots of blood you cannot donate blood. Hemoglobin is a nutrient that make red bloods cells. Hemoglobin is found in green leaves. Sometimes it is risky to donate blood. Red blood cells are found in the marrow ( the place where most of your red blood cells are made) We first eat our food it passes the pharynx and goes to the esophagus than goes to the stomach it takes 7 - 8 hours to digestion food. After that it goes to the small intestine ( most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and goes to the big intestine ( most of the water is absorbed in the big intestine) then it goes to the liver. The liver sends all the nutrients to other parts of the body.

THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE! If you did not see it, you better! It is not only funny, but it is also meaningful. The message is heart-warming.

Hi Guys! I was poking around Dogo and found some articles I thought you would enjoy. I'm going to write about Dogo for the Master Naturalist newsletter - I think others would like this site, don't you? The baboon article is just food for thought. The sandbag article is for you because you can relate as inventors - it's inspiring. The sand article is for you in hopes that you'll try this sand art if you are at a beach. Be sure to watch his video. I love the book reviews from Julia - hope others will join in the fun. I've finished two books so far. One book I tried to read two times before and could never get past the first chapter - so boring! But, I forced myself this time and was glad I did. It took off and I didn't put it down for a couple of days. The other book was on the Japenese art of tidying. Yeah, I've got a lot of tidying to do! So much fun to read. (Note: balance between fiction/ non-fiction!) Anyway, you guys take care. Wear sunscreen - you'll be glad you did when your my age! Love, Mrs. Runyon

This book is full of mystery, suspense, and adventure. Those three descriptive words describe my type of "reading appetite". I enjoy reading those type of books. Stonebird seems like a good book to devour while curling up in a comfortable position and area. Stone bird seems like fire, its flames about to pounce upon me. That's how good Stonebird sounds. I just love the gist and idea of this book. A hint scariness is a good thing to add to the "mixture".

I love books with suspense, mystery, and adventure; they make a "yummy" mixture. The beloved words of the story filled with the mixture are a reader's best friend. Always. And that story is in my "friendship process". :)
