William’s tooth filling is picking up radio signals that he can control by clenching his teeth, putting metal objects in his mouth, and covering the tooth with his tongue. Then he hears some space men talking, and then the aliens suck him into their ship! They plan on invading earth to eat all the junk food! What will William do?
Loved it! It’s very funny and dramatic (if that’s at all possible). I wish it was bit longer, though.

This is the story of David, a boy who is considered to be a Moon-Calf by everyone in the village. When David’s friend, Hans Krout the Cobbler, tells David about his journeys up the moon-path, David wants to try it too. After a few attempts, David travels up the moon path to the moon, meets the Man-in-the-Moon and the Moon Angel, and also spends time in the Gardens Behind the Moon. Finally, David is sent on a mission to recover the Wonder-Box and the Know-all Book from the Iron Man.
This is a fun, easy book. Well, maybe not so easy. Half the time I have no clue what Howard Pyle’s talking about. This would be a considered a classic sort of fairytale, because, of course, David marries the princess at the end and has exciting adventures, but it’s still a very enjoyable story. So get out there and enjoy it!

While staying in Times Square, Chester visits many different places with his human friend Mario. Unfortunately, Chester becomes victim to an acute attack of homesickness and decides to take a short hop as far as Tucker’s home, but loses his way and has several interesting adventures. From crossing Broadway to falling off the Empire State Building, Chester Cricket has the ride of his life.
A fun book. It’s a little distressing when he’s smashed flat . . . Just kidding! I only gave it one star because it’s okay if you’re looking for a quick, easy read. This is the sort of book that you read when you have a little snack to eat and you wanted to eat it while reading something mildly interesting. It’s also light enough to enable you to look and see where you’re putting your food, instead of being visually glued to the page. Enjoy, and munch in relative safety.
