My favorite book is Bones.
I like this book because I like all the interesting, detailed facts about the rib cage and chest that are mentioned throughout the book. I also love all the multi-colored pictures that appear in the book. 
For example, the page midway through the book, I like the detailed picture of the rib cage. My favorite line in Bones is this paragraph: Breathe in deeply as you can, and notice how your chest expands and relaxes. it rises up and outwards as you inhale air into your lungs, then down and inward when you exhale. I tried this myself, and it was so cool! I never noticed how detailed my breathing was before!

1.Coral Reefs
2.I think it is very cool to know how the reefs grow,and that they come in so many beautiful colors, and shapes
3.I thought it was very cool to now know that a coal reef is a gigantic community of living things. I never knew so any pieces of interesting facts about coral reef. Thanks for teaching me so much about coral reef Seymour Simon.

My Favorite book: The Optical Illusion book
Why: I like the optical illusion book because I love trying really hard to see how it’s done before reading how.
Evidence from text: On page 10, I would try to see if the poles in figure A-4 were the same size. then I would try it myself. Same on page 11. I drew it myself, and still don’t believe it. Even the chapter numbers confuse me. As well as the contents, index and index letters. I am able to draw some of them, though.

Favorite book : The Universe
This is my favorite book since astrophysics is my favorite subject. I really like deep space and forces such as Dark Energy and Dark Matter. I’m also very interested in how the universe works. This book is all about the universe and the universe is my favorite thing. My favorite part is when Seymour Simon explains how the universe began on page six. He describes it so perfectly it makes me feel like I was there.

tornados 
this is my favorite book because I like how you explain how a tornado forms and the states that get tornados in a specific month. I like the pictures of peoples towns, after a tornado, got destroyed. It shows me what a tornado can do to really damage a town and peoples houses. I feel really bad for anybody who was really effected by a tornado. They have to fix everything, and possibly move away.

Crocodiles & Alligators

I think the Crocodiles & Alligators is the best book that Seymour Simon published because of the awesome, close up pictures. I LOVE the picture where the camera person zooms up right on the eye of the crocodile.

my favorite Seymour Simon book is extreme earth records.
I like extreme earth records because there are millions of facts about all kinds of interesting places and landforms around the world.
I thought that when Seymour Simon wrote imagine squirting a water pistol off the empire state building and then watching the stream of water fall to the ground. That waterfall would be nothing only about one third of angel falls in Venezuela, earths highest waterfall and I thought that was a really good comparison.

My favorite book is Extreme Earth records. My favorite part of the book is when you talk about The Hottest Place On Earth. I can not believe “the hottest temperature in North America was 134 F and 57 C recorded on July 10, 1913 at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, CA.”

Favorite book: sharks.
Why I like it: Because ever since I read and saw your pictures and your amazing facts I’m now never afraid of sharks anymore.
Evidence: on page 7 it says that sharks have killed fewer people in the united states in the past 100 years than are killed in automobile accidents over a single holiday weekend.

My favorite book is cats because they are cute, furry, and interesting animals. I think Seymour Simon did a good job on the books. Did you know cats are related to their relatives like the lion, cougar and the tiger and 5,000 years ago wild cats were tamed in Egypt?

1.Dogs
2. I like the book Dogs because I LOVE dogs. I have recently got a dog and I have wanted one all my life! the book taught me so much more facts about dogs that I would have never found out.
3.I thought it was awsome how Seymour Simon wrote that scientists believe that dogs developed from wolves that learned to live close to people and that there are more then 400 breeds in the world!
my favorite Seymour Simon book is extreme earth records.
I like extreme earth records because there are millions of facts about all kinds of interesting places and landforms around the world.

Evidence ; On page 14 it says: ( My writing day begins after breakfast. The hardest part of writing a book is getting started, so I begin by reading over what I wrote the last time and rewriting it. Then I rewrite it again) It makes me write.
