Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Review

wimpy3 The latest book in Jeff Kinney's series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, just came out.  It's called, Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Last Straw.

This is the best book ever!  I recommend it for everybody.

 

Kayla and Alex's Interview Show - Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In this video, my sister interviewed me to find out why I love this series.  I also wrote a blog post where I reviewed the first book in the series.

The second book was awesome too!  From my LibraryThing Review:

In this book, Greg's friendship with Rowley is in jeopardy. You have to read the book to find out more. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh.

These books are so popular that they're going to make a movie soon.

All About Praying Mantises

mantis There are many different kinds of Praying Mantises.  Some are big, some are small.  They live everywhere, but mostly in tropical areas.  They eat bugs that are harmful to gardens.  A Praying Mantis has spiny front legs that he uses to grasp and hold his prey.  Praying Mantises are my favorite type of bug.

Here are some You Tube Videos about Praying Mantises:
