One Thousand and One Facts about Space by Carole Stott, Clint Twist

Informational
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an astronaut? It would be scary. Right? My favorite part is when it told me how hot the sun's inner core is. It's 27 million fahrenheit or even hotter. That is just insane. I like it because the sun is the best thing we can have in winter. If you like things about space you should read this book.

The Legend of Jimmy Spoon by Kristiana Gregory


Historical Fiction
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live with American Indians? Jimmy Spoon ran away from home and did just that. My favorite part of the book is where the chief of the Shoshone tribe, Washakie, teaches Jimmy that even though you can say sorry for hurting someone's feelings, it still takes time for that person's feelings to heal. I like this because the chief uses nature to teach how people should treat each other. I recommend this book to everyone who likes adventure stories about real people and American Indians.
