What Anna found in the Library book

What Anna found in a library book
Was because she took a peek and look
And opened the page to have some fun
From one to four fifty, the last page was done
And because for reading she had such a yearn,
Guess what she found? A little book worm
With little glasses for better to see
Because they read all century
Green and fat, he hopped right out
Feeding on books, fat novels, and pop-outs
Anna was surprised, very much so
To see a bookworm (at least one she didn't know)
And what did the little worm with plate in hand say?
In the corner of the little "libraree-aye"
"I excuse you for interrupting my reading and feasting,
But thanks for opening this book...and reading!"
So come to your library and take a look
For YOU might find what Anna did in her book
--A Bookwormie who loved to read and write

Together
People Judge, and people hurt.
People label, and people cry,
and then  they wonder why,
the world is mean to them.
What about me?
Can't you see?
You arent the only one who's hurting.
We gotta stick together,
be friends forever,
never let each other come to any harm,
I got your back,
you got mine,
'Cuz friend, together, we feel fine.
But when we are apart
the world has no heart,
and we can't deny,
our friendship will never die

* * * * *

Takes my tears:
You left me standing the rain, crying again
with the tears my eyes, i will finally realize,
you dont need me anymore,
you moved on, you dont live dont live next door.
and, well, it makes me cry,
to think friendship could die.
but you moved on, you dont need me anymore,
to help when you are sore,
to make the pain go away,
to be there when you need a hand,
and we promised eachother
we would never hurt the other,
until death do us part, friend you know,
that changed, to popularity,
that whole scene,
just wasnt for me,
so we drifted apart,
and though it broke me heart,
the kill was so much cleaner when i just stopped wanting to believe,
wanting to breathe,
there is a better place,
and well, you tried your best when we were friends,
but the lure of the in-crowd,
it drew you in,
did it ever occur to you, i wanted in?
so i hung your around sister,
just to be near,
the friend who broke my heart,
the one who was so dear,
but now your gone,
left me standing in the rain,
i am crying again,
it takes my tears for me to realize,
you left me standing in the rain,
with my pain,
yet again, and
for the final time.

Schools Over
(yahooo)
Yesterday was my first day off!
I slept in, ate alot of food, and had fun.
And did I say I went over my friends house (cough cough)
We went swimming in the sun!
Jumped on the trampolean,  ate at Mc.Donalds, and saw a movie!
It was a very good one,
but I felt a little woozzy,
After that we went back to there "crib"
We played until dinner,
And we ate spair ribs
When I dreamed I was the winner,
of tomorrows basketball game!

Cello

I pick it up off the ground,
With the bow in my hand,
I start to play notes,
Not the notes on the page,
The notes in the air,
That you smell,
That you taste,
In the air as you play,
Not the notes on the page.

I can tell as I play,
That this means something new,
Something new, new and beautiful,
Sounding today,
There are notes in the air,
That you see,
That you touch,
They are sounding today,
Not the notes on the page.

Catherine Dee's book, The Girls' Book Of Wisdom is great. It's full of quotes and is very inspirational. It has quotes about everything from spirituality to sports and courage. It's a great book that I think all girls should read. It's full of other people's thoughts and concepts about life and stuff. I loved it! The thing is, you can read it over and over. Every time you read it you find something new, like something you looked over the time before.
Kathy Davis, I've only purchased 1 of her books, Friend's are Flowers that never fade and it is wonderful. It's like a journal that you fill out for your friend. I recently bought it for my best friend and I think it is great. It is filled with many sweet and heart warming poems and quotes. It is also wonderfully illustrated, I was very impressed that she wrote AND illustrated the book! It was wonderful. :)

I think that you should have more selection of the authors that you have address's for.
From Booker: Thanks for your suggestion! We are adding authors all the time as we get their information, so keep checking back here!

I'm a follower of the Shinto religion, the major Japanese religion. Because I live here in America (and never lived in Japan), I am commonly ... made fun of because of my religion. I just wanted to tell everyone out there: IGNORE IT! I've got nearly four of my thirteen years of life ignoring jokes about the Shinto religion, and survived. There is nothing that should be able to break you!! --A Bookworm Newsletter reader

I was wondering if you could post some of my favorite books of all time on the Bookworm Newsletter Mailbag section as great books to read for other interested readers this summer. They are as follows:

1. The Secret Garden
~A mysterious, powerful, and touching novel about a young girl named Mary Lennox who transforms from a sickly, selfish little girl into a caring, cheerful one through the means of a secret garden and something she discovers called Magic. An extremely powerful read.

2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
~The 3rd book in the ever-so-popular Harry Potter series, this book will amaze you even more. Filled with humor, suspense, dialogue, and plenty of action, you definitely don't want to miss out on the 3rd year of young wizard Harry Potter at his school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A compelling read.

3. Heidi
~An extremely touching and inspiring story about Heidi, a young girl who is the very embodiment of good, hope, and joy, and she never fails to bring those wonderful feelings to those around her who aren't that fortunate. A great story of love and hate, hope and despair, joy and misery. If you like a good classic, this story is for you.

I LOVE THE POEMS YOU PUT IN THE LETTER

Have you read Holes? It's about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, who gets accused of stealing a pair of sneakers. He gets sent to a camp. Everyday the boys at the camp have to dig a hole 5 ft deep and 5 ft wide. This book is so awsome!
From Booker: Don't forget to check out our HOLES feature!

I recommend Long Letter Later because if you lost a friend and you have to keep your friendship through letters this book is for you. It's like a rollercoaster but reading a book. It has its ups and downs. They go through hardships and good memories and if you believe in keeping a long distance relationships than this book is for you to!

* * * * *

I recommend Number the Stars. It takes place when the Nazi Soldiers were trying to kill the Jews. In this book there are two best friends, one is Jewish. this book is filled with suspense and obstacles. i guarentee you won't put this book down untill your done. Will the friends keep thier friendship or will the Nazi's tear then apart? Read to find out what happens and you will recommend this book to anyone when your done reading it.

  1.Our Only May Amelia
  2. Harry Potter books

Once again I wanted to tell you that I loved Walk Two Moons, I just loved it,and I cried at the sad parts and laughed at the funny parts.It was the greatest book of all time!Ilove her writing.

I Really like to read, I want to be a writer when I grow up. My favorite author is J. R. R.  Tolkien. I think he writes the best books my favorite two are The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings. They are really good books even thought they have wired character like: the old willow, the daughter of the river, and towns with wired names like: The Lonely Mountain, and Great worms. The book even has a glossary and maps so you can find where you are in on the map or what a word means in the book. Plus it's not one of those books that only have like Twenty pages with a pitcher taking up every other one. So however is reads this you should go to the librey and get these book if you like adventure.
