Jasmine's Delectable Desserts

I have a new dessert business called “Jasmine’s Delectable Desserts”.  So far, I am baking chocolate-chip banana bread.  (I can make it with or without chocolate chips.)  Later, I am planning to put more desserts on the menu.  The chocolate chip banana bread is very delicious and moist.  I have served my aunts and they agree it’s awesome.  If you want to place an order, put a comment on the comment area below this post!

Writing Drill

Jasmine needed to look at this picture closely, describe it in her own words and draw her own version of it.  Here it is.

Cacti grow near the sandy road.  Tumbleweeds blow this way and that.  Clouds lazily drift by with no sign of rain.  The air is hot and dry without a breeze.  A saloon is closed because there aren’t any people to run it.  Every house is gray because they need a new coat of paint.  Only the heartiest of plants and animals remain.  No sound comes from the saloon, only the occasional chittering and chattering of birds.  The skeletons of unlucky dehydrated cows remain.

Book Review --- "Homeless" by Laurie Anderson

          Homeless is a book that’s part of a series called ‘Wild at Heart’.  The book is about 5 kids who work at a vet’s store.  Sunita is the main character.  A cat named Socrates runs away, leaving Sunita and her friends to worry.  While searching for the cat, the kids stumble upon a cat colony.  People near the cats complain about the noise and mess the cats make.  The people also want to put the cats to sleep.  Will Sunita and her friends find Socrates and save the cat colony?  Or will it be ‘nighty-night cats’ for good?  Read this book to find out!

            Since I’m totally into animals, I love this book.  Homeless is chock-full of suspense, and the characters in it are very daring.

               I recommend this book to kids 8+, because kids 7 and younger might have a hard time reading the words.  For people that like animals and suspense, this is the perfect book for you!

Book Review

I recently read a book called Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.  It was full of excitement!  The story is about a boy named Gregor and his sister named Boots who fell down through their laundry chute.  They ended up in a placed called the Underland.  According to a prophecy, Gregor is the warrior who is to save the people and animals of the Underland.  Gregor, Boots, Underland people, and a few cockroaches, bats, and one rat go out to defeat evil. 

I liked this book because it was very entertaining.  It talked about things that couldn’t happen in real life.  It made me use my imagination.

DS Game Review

I have a DS game called Style Savvy, and it’s so much fun!  You start out as a helper in a fashion shop called Strata.  You help girls choose clothing items to buy.  New shops will open up as Strata’s popularity increases, like the cosmetics store and hair salon.  As you get better with fashion, you’ll own your own fashion store.  You will be able to choose the look and music of for your store.  You can buy items for your store at the Buyer’s Center.  You can also dress yourself up, put on makeup, and get a new hairdo!  Items you buy will show up in your wardrobe.  You can enlist in fashion contests at the Contest Hall.  If you win, you’ll receive clothing items you can’t get anywhere else.  If you love fashion, this is the perfect game for you!!!
