Hi readers!
Can’t get enough Olympic action? Then I’ve got a great book for you! Check out the London 2012 Games Activity Book.
Inside, you’ll find photos and facts about star athletes, drawing exercises, puzzles, trivia and tons more!
Also, if you’re a fan of the Olympic mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville, you’re in luck. Those two are all over this book!
Happy reading!

Hi readers,
I just read a great book called The Year of the Book by Andrea Cheng. If you’re look for a cool read, check it out!
This book is all about a girl named Anna, who wants nothing more than to fit in with the other kids in her class. Everyday, Anna does her best to blend in when she’s at school. When she gets home, she reads tons and tons of books. Anna reads so much, she starts to think that books are her true friend!
Will this fourth grader see that the kids in her class actually like that she’s different? Can she let herself become friends with them? You’ll have to pick up this book to find out!
Not only does this novel have important lessons about friendship and learning to be yourself, there are fun activities tucked inside too! There are instructions on how to fold a won-ton (a won ton is a kind of yummy Chinese food), how to write Chinese letters and more!
If you do read this book, I hope you enjoy it!
Talk to you soon,

Hi readers,
Looking for a great book to read this weekend? Check out Dear Flyary, written by Dianne Young and illustrated by John Martz.
This book is all about a one-eyed alien, named Frazzle, who likes to record his flying adventures in his journal. Frazzle loves his little Model 7 spaceship, but when it starts making strange sounds, he’s faced with a big decision: should he trade in his spaceship for a new one, or keep it? Zoom into this book to see what Frazzle decides!
You may recognize the name John Martz because he also illustrated the hilarious story, Somewhere Ogre the Rainbow in the March issue of chickaDEE! Turn to page 22 of the magazine to check it out.
Have a safe and happy weekend!

Hi readers,
Many chickaDEE readers have told me how much they love writing stories. Keep it up because you might just get published one day! Here’s a book called Isabella Makes a Difference, written by Sophia Colette Kofoed and illustrated by her sister, Kiara Lauren Kofoed.
Sophia wrote this book when she was only 6 years old. It’s a story about kids trying to make a difference in the world and not giving up, even if the task seems hard at first.
Isabella Makes a Difference has a great message and I think you should definitely check it out! The book has lots of fundraising ideas that you can check out with your parents, too. Visit the book’s website by clicking HERE for more information.
