Do Dolphins Really Smile?
by Laura Driscoll
This book is about dolphins. It is in the All Aboard Science Reader series! It gives information about how big dolphins are.
I like this book because dolphins are my favorite animal, after pigs. This book reminds me of Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. This book talks about scientists and how they learned that dolphins talk to each other.
Anyone who likes animals, specifically dolphins, will like this book.

On Sunday night it got hit by an iceberg at 11:30 p.m. and it was on the ocean floor by 3:00 a.m. There were 2,200 people on the Titanic. Only 705 people were saved.

Survivors True Stories of children in the Holocaust
by Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun.
It's the stories of 8 children survivors.
Their
ages vary but most of them are 10 and up. All the stories are
different.
Some are hiding and some are death and concentration camps. What
the
scariest part is that what is happening actually happened. It's
not
fiction. It's true.
I like this book because
the
Holocaust is a horrible time in history. People want to forget
it. I
want
to make sure that we don't forget it. Most of the books I've read
say
the
same things and almost no stories about people. The most exciting
part
of
the holocaust is that people went through it and lived. Only what
they
say
about it is really true since they went through it. Someone who
likes history,isn't
afraid that easy, and will believe that what they are about to
read is
devastating would like this book.
I would give this book four stars. Reviewed
