What a Show!

Have you ever thought about what your favorite favorite book of even television show was? Well our homework in my English class was to make a blog over just this. So my first thought for this assignment was to do a television show. I thought this because well, reading isn't my favorite thing to do, so I don't have any particular book that I just love. So as I was thinking about all of the television shows that I like, I realized that there was a lot!
So after thinking about it for a while, I decided to go with one I had just found out about. The television show that I decided to write about was The Firm. I found out about this when not to ling ago I was looking for something to watch and came across this. I thought that I would see what is was about and ended up really liking it. Te Firm airs on NBC and is a one hour television drama about a man (played by John Lucas) and his family who buy a law firm in Chicago where things sometimes turn out not so good. Through the book you will find that the family is trying to start a new life here and get away from old troubles but they will later find that the troubles are lurking among them. I would encourage everyone to watch this show because, it is a exciting show that I think almost everyone would like, it only takes one hour to watch to find out if you like it or not, and the show always keeps you guessing until the next episode and making want to watch more. After watching this show for the first time, I went to my mom to tell her that there was a new television show on called The Firm and that it was really good. After I told her this, I was surprised to hear her reaction. She said that it sounds good and that she said she had read the book. After hearing this, I wanted to know if we were talking about the same thing, and it turns out we were. The television show the firm, was based of of the book The Firm. It turns out that this book was a blockbuster feature film and a best seller. So after hearing this, I thought, no wonder the show is so good.

Children's Books

All children love children books. Today in class, our blog assignment was to think about what our favorite children's book was. So as I was thinking about all of the books I heard as a child, one really stood out. My favorite book as a kid had to be Wings On Things. Some of the reasons it was my favorite book was that it rhymed, had funny pictures, and had a creative thought.
The author of this book is a man that you might have heard of before, his name is Marc Brown. He is the author of all the Arthur books. Even though Marc Brown is the author, it is in the Dr. Seuss series. I really love children's books and I enjoy reading all of them. Below I have listed some links that will give show you some books by the author and some information about the author. And I hope you enjoy his books as much as I did.
