The Hallo-Wiener by Dav Pilkey

Hi! I read the Hallo-wiener today. It's about a short long dog called a wiener dog. His name is Oscar and other dogs make fun of him because of his size and his shape. He does not like it one bit. So he goes home from obedient school. All of a sudden Oscar goes in his room and he finds a present on his floor. It says from "Mom to Oscar", he opens the present and finds a hot dog costume topped with mustard. Oscar doesn't want to upset his mother so he wears the silly costume for Halloween. When Oscar goes outside all the other dogs call him "Hallo-wiener". All of a sudden four of the dogs get scared from a monster that pops out of the graveyard, they jump in a nearby pond! Somebody comes, it's Oscar!!! Oscar sees something that no other dog saw; so he tugs and pulls on the black gown of the monster. Oscar reveals that it was just two cats standing on each others shoulders! The cats say "Ahhhhh! We're being attacked by a frankfurter!" So Oscar jumps in the pond with the other dogs and saves them. Ever since that day no dog has ever made fun of Oscar again.
This story teaches you that it doesn't matter if you're short or tall, fat or skinny, it just matters what your actions are. The end!

Hannah Montana Nightmare on Hannah Street

Hi! I am reading a book called Hannah Montana Nightmare on Hannah Street.
It's about this famous teenager that is named Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus.

Miley's twin cousin Luann comes to visit around Halloween. Miley thinks Luann is evil. At a Halloween concert Luann ties up Miley (dressed as Hannah) and puts her in the closet. Luann dresses up as Hannah and goes in the limo with Miley's friend Lilly. Then the real Hannah gets untied, goes to the party and looks for Luann. All of a sudden, Luann pops up on stage but Luann is a bad singer!

Miley has a secret that she is Hannah Montana and Luann is going to blow her secret and take the Hannah wig off but Hannah, Lilly and another friend named Oliver shuts the lights on the stage off and pulls Luann behind the curtains before she can take the wig off.

I hope you enjoyed the story!

The Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids

Hi! I read the Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids. It has lots of fun facts for kids. I will now tell you ten different ways to cure hiccups.
1. Put ice cubes on each side of your mouth or suck on ice cubes.
2. Eat a spoonful of peanut butter, vinegar, or sugar (pick one only or you'll get sick).
3. Eat something spicy like a hot pepper.
4. Drink a glass of water from the wrong side of the glass (wear a bib).
5. Breathe into a paper bag.
6. Pant like a dog (it's weird).
7. Spit on a rock and turn it over.
8. Stick out your tongue while holding your breath for as long as you can.
9. Drink water while your nostrils are pinched and your ears are plugged (get a friend or two to help you).
10. Lie across a chair on your stomach and drink a glass of water.

Next time you have hiccups, remember these tips, I hope you enjoyed them!
