    I loved Never Smile at a Monkey because it gave a lot of good information about wonderful animals.
    Some animals I didn't even know about!
    I didn't know much about animals (except dogs and zebras),but Never Smile at a Monkey gave me fascinating information.(;

    I love this book because you learn about these amazing trees while the character also learns about these trees too! I like that it starts out at a train station and ends up in a forest full of redwood trees!:D

    I think that it was ok but a little boring because it's a bit too much information and slow at the same time.

    Redwoods is a good book because in the book he's reading about the red woods and as he's reading the book the pictures change every page. Like he says that some red woods you could drive a car through them.

    Red wood is an odd book because it starts with a book and ends with someone else finding it.
