Title: The Ant in the Cellar
Author: Danielle Rosenblatt
Publisher: A Better Be Write Publisher, 2006
ISBN: 0-9788985-3-2
"The Ant in the Cellar" is a very fun treasury of poems. If you are looking for humorous poems about everyday objects and places, this is definitely the book for you. The objects like toasters, triangles, thumbs all seem to come to life and you learn just how they would feel if they could talk. There are poems about places like the bathroom, living room, and the basement. Oh no, the shower has growing from its drain a flower!
There are poems about many animals like a mouse, dino and ant. I really liked the one about the llama who was wearing purple pajamas not thinking that she would start a new trend.
I'm hoping to use one of these poems like "Harry the Couch Potato" or "Grumpy the Grumpster" as a possible forensics poem next year. There is such a wide variety of poems in this book that I'm sure every one who reads it would find something that would make them laugh.

How to Write Your Life Story
Have you ever read a book about somebody's life? Maybe it was about a sports star, movie star or famous American. Now you might think your life is too boring, that no one will want to read about it. You might think your story is not worth telling but years from now, someone will want to read about what life was like in 2007. You don't have to be famous. Your life is interesting just because it is yours.
Ralph Fletcher has created this book for kids ages 8-12 to encourage them to write their own life stories. This is a manual for aspiring authors who want to share their life experiences with others. Mr Fletcher has included many stories from his own life. He also includes interviews with people who have written their autobiographies. He stresses that taking notes is very important and will make the job easier when you compose your story. Everything from proper order to dialogues is included in this handy book. He encourages kids to think about writing their life stories.
Kids can be aspiring authors! Where better can you get subject matter for your first book than from your own life. I really enjoyed this book and I know other kids who want to someday be authors will too. With this book's help, maybe someday I too will be a published author!
