This is showing that it is time for the bear to hibernate for the winter and now little bear is missing.  Father bear is very worried. The little bear followed the bee to a opera house all the way to the opera house roof on top of the opera house roof was some honey. We wondered why the little bear followed  the bee.

It won by a unanimous vote because the other book didn't show up. The illustrations in the book had lots of details, it was like a "I Spy" book.The book had lots of ideas and had lots of descriptive  writing where it shows that papa bear was talking to it's self like " what's going on"?.The illustrations had lots of colour and the  text tells us the next thing that will happen. The lesson in the book was that you should be inspired about everything you see and stay close to your parents. Our tribe wonders if they know the way back to the to the forest.

SMACKDOWN FINAL - MRS. HOLDEN’S CLASS 4.2

SMACKDOWN FINAL

MRS. HOLDEN’S CLASS 4.2

December 4, 2014

The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak

VS.

And Two Boys Booed by Judith Viorst

VS.

At The Same Moment Around The World  by Clotilde Perrin

By an overwhelming majority of 19/24 votes, The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak wins the Mini Mighty Smackdown in Mrs. Holden’s class.

Some of the reasons we feel this book deserves to win are:

-We really enjoyed all the silly words that were in the book, like ‘BOO BOO BUTT’ and “I am a ROBOT MONKEY” and ‘Ba-DOOONGY FACE!!!’.

-The book makes the reader say things they don’t want to say.

-It encourages the reader to read with lots of expression.

-This book is different from any other picture book we’ve read. Part of the reason for this is because it is a picture book with NO PICTURES!

-The front cover of the book makes it seem like it will be boring, but then it is surprisingly funny.

-It is cool how the book and the reader are arguing all the way through.

-We like the rule, “Everything the words say, the person reading the book has to say.”

-We didn’t want to stop reading because we couldn’t wait to see what the reader would have to read next.

-It is funny how at the end, it says, “Next time, please please please please please choose a book with pictures.”

-We thought it was really funny when Mrs. Holden had to say funny random words.

-Mrs. Holden read all the silly words in a funny way, and it made us laugh.

We would recommend this book to others because it is such a different and creative book. We think it is great for kids ages 4-10 - and lots of immature adults will probably find it really funny too. :)

Grade 4.2 gives this book 10/10.
