BR 2-18: Buzz Takes Over (Reilly. Carmel, 2007)

 

 

Buzz and Zip were heading home to planet Zero. Zip climbed into one of the sleeping pods and closed the door. The computer suddenly lit up. The ship zoomed forward and started to roll. As suddenly as it started, the rolling stopped. Buzz picked himself up off the window. The black hole had taken him into another galaxy. The computer lit up again. Buzz took a deep breath and looked at the controls. He closed his eyes and crossed all his arms and fingers as the ship zoomed forward. He was so close that he could see the whites of their eyes. Then, Buzz did what he always did when something went wrong. Buzz didn't know how many buttons he pushed when he crashed onto the controls.

 

This story is very cute. Buzz is careless. Buzz is cute. This is exciting adventure. It is good. I like it.

"I like to go outside at night. Everything id still and dark. At night I can see the stars." p5

 

 

Some nights the stars are very bright. They look close, too. It seem thet I can almost touch them. I know I cannot. They are too far away. Sometimes I think I can see the tail of the bear. I make believe that I can see its head, the nose, and the four feet. Some night when it is still and dark, take a friend outside. Show him how to find the Big Dipper, the little Dipper, and the North Star. See if he can imagine that he sees the big bear. Maybe he'll even be able to see the little bear.

 

I like seeing the sky and stars. I often go to top of the mountain to see the stars. They are very beautiful. They make me happy. I want to go see the stars in this winter.
