Summary: 5 Stars

Have you ever loved your pet even if you had to let it go? In the story "A Pet" by Cynthia Rylant, Emma begged so hard for a Christmas pet but it was old blind and used. On other days he lazily, barely moved his fins. He became ill and Emma tried to help him by giving him two pills and would whisper please. One day she woke up and he was...
I had a pet that was a goldfish but it was sick because it was old. In the story Emma's pet was sick. It was Christmas and it almost but tried to keep going but it couldn't .I also tried to get medicine and in the story Emma got medicine for her goldfish too.
I give it 10 out of 10 because I love this and I have lots of connection with it. I also love how they feel because Emma started crying and was happy when she got her pet. I also love how it used a lot of detail in the story. They showed how Emma had an old, blind, and used goldfish. By: Jazmin

If you like puppies you would like this story "Stray" by Cynthia Rylant. It has lots of detail and shows you how a puppy suffers when it has no shelter. Stray is just like a homeless person but only a dog.
The story Stray is about a stray dog looking for food . One day a girl named Doris found a little dog out in the cold and that little dog was freezing. So the little girl took the puppy inside and asked her father if she could keep him and guess what he said, "NO!". The only thing he said was that the puppy was going straight to the pound tomorrow...The heart of the story was love your pet even if it has to go to the pound.
This story reminds me of when I was in the car and I saw a stray dog. Doris was outside scraping out the snow and she saw a stray dog trapped in the snow.
I give this story a ten out of ten because you could visualize how the puppy was trapped in the snow and how Doris was scraping off the sidewalk from the snow. By Julyssa


Have you ever seen a stray? Well in the story "Stray" by Cythia Rylant, it all started on a cold day shoveling out snow and this girl saw a dog walking down the road toward the Lacey's small house. It's ears tucked, it's tail between it's legs shivering and she called it and took it inside . Her parents decided that ...
This story reminds me of when I got my first dog.
I like this story because it's a great story and I have memories of me and my dog . I give this story a 10 out of 10 because it reminds me of my dog playing together and she's really playful all the time! She loves playing fetch and her favorite toy is a rope to play tug of war! Some people may think she's mad but I think she's a great dog and I love her . Just like Doris loved her stray. By Ryan


The story "Birthday Party!" is about a birthday party when there are lots of people who want to hit a piñata.
This story teaches me that kids can have a good time with their family.
This reminds me of when I was 7. I got to hit a piñata at my friends party. My friends and family got the candy, just like in the story. By. Martin
