We have been working on book talks for our Holmes Book Fair.

I read and wrote a book talk for If Wishes Were Horses By Sibley Miller.
It is Fiction and is about a girl that finds tiny winged horses in a dandelion after she blows on it.

I have a book that I can read independently. I want to share some info. with you about it.
The title of my book is Grandfathers Dance by Patricia MacLachlan. This story is about when a family changes when a boy marries the eldest,Anna,the second youngest,Cassie,”marries”a dog, and Grandfather dies.
It takes place in the mid 1800’s. One of my favorite characters is Cassie because she is funny and keeps her family happy. I would recommend this book because you can feel the emotions.
