Summary: Gooseberry Park
Review: I loved Gooseberry Park because it has a lot of adventure. I'd recommend this book to people who love animals because it has a lot of animals in it. Will Kona the dog make it to Gooseberry Park to save her friends in the blizzard in time? Read Gooseberry Park and find out.

Review: I read this book again and again! I liked it so much and I laughed at the funny names of Stumpy's babies (Top, Bottom and Sparrow). I also liked Murray. He was very funny.

Summary: Gooseberry Park
Review: I think you would like to read this book because it is about a chocolate lab. He meets a squirrel and they become friends. Then the squirrel was going to have babies. Then they meet a bat named Murray. This is a good book because in the story there is a big storm and the squirrel babies get it trouble. Read to find out what happens.

Summary: Wonderful Read-Aloud
Review: I used this in my 3rd grade class as a teacher read-aloud and the students loved it. It had characters that all students could relate to --whether it was the sense of humor and crazy antics of Murray,the bat,the heroic deeds of Kona,the labrador retreiver,the straight talk from Gwendolyn,the hermit crab or the motherly sweetness of Stumpy,the squirrel--all children of various learning abilities could enjoy the story. When Stumpy lost her children in an ice storm that toppled her tree, the children were interested in how she would get back to them. When Murray was caring for the babies in the basement, the students would laugh at the bat's appetite for junk food and television. They were delighted and so was I. A real pleasure to read.

Summary: The best
Review: Will this ice ever stop? Will Kona ever get to Stumpy? Gooseberry Park by Cynthia Rylant is about Stumpy a squirrel who is expecting babies. But soon after the babies are born an ice storm hits covering Gooseberry Park. Her best friend, Kona the dog, will risk the treacherous journey to save Stumpy and her babies. But is he too late or is Stumpy still alive. Stumpy is a squirrel who likes to collect things. Stumpy is nice and is not very clean. She also is funny and a little bit of a smart alek. In the book she changes because she starts off as a collecting mother soon to be, at the end she is a mother with a curiosity about Gwendolyn and other Hermit Crabs. I think Stumpy is really cool because she really cares for Kona, Gwendolyn a hermit crab, Murray a bat, and her three babies Top, Bottom, and Sparrow.
