<a href="http://www.spaghettibookclub.org">The Spaghetti Book Club</a> offers book reviews by kids for kids, searchable in a variety of ways. (And most of the reviews are also illustrated by the kid-authors!). <a href="http://www.spaghettibookclub.org/review.php3?review_id=1892">One of my favorites</a> begins: "<em>Do you like bad ideas or thinking about them? Well, if you like bad ideas then you should read The Book of Bad Ideas. The Book of Bad Ideas is a book that has bad ideas you really shouldn't try at home. If you try them you'll be soooorrrrryyyyy! If you want to learn more about it, I'll suggest a website but I don't know any. Maybe you should read the book.</em>"post:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40111Thu, 03 Mar 2005 01:20:13 -0800tazbookskidschildrenbookreviewschildren'sbooksreviewsBy: Pattie

This is a great idea for a student project! It can be hard to make writing assignments seem like they have some purpose, and this Web site really gives them one. Plus the pictures are fun.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40111-869036Thu, 03 Mar 2005 06:40:03 -0800PattieBy: kaibutsu

'"BEAR ATTACK!" This spine chilling quote is from Alaska and it will keep your teeth chattering throughout the whole book.'

This website has lots of reviews and pictures in it. The reviews are good and tell you if the book is good or bad. Some of the pictures are bad because they are drawn by very small kids.
The best bit was when a kid said they missed their puppy.
I would recommend this site to other kids because they might find out about a good book and then read it.

A+, dodgy!
I love the illustration for <a href="http://www.spaghettibookclub.org/review.php3?review_id=1326">this one</a>.
I also really like <a href="http://www.spaghettibookclub.org/review.php3?review_id=258">this review</a> ("<em>If you think it's easy being in charge of two little people, you are SO wrong. The characters run across problems... My favorite part was when Boone the cowboy, shot Patrick in his cheek! (Don't worry they're little people, so it didn't really hurt).</em> ")
And in a <a href="http://www.spaghettibookclub.org/review.php3?review_id=5501">review</a> of "Walter the Farting Dog": "<em>My favorite part of the story was when Walter was taking a bath, because it is good to take baths. My favorite character was Walter, because he is funny. I can relate to this story because sometimes farting happens.</em>"comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40111-869862Thu, 03 Mar 2005 18:19:49 -0800tazBy: painquale

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
