Charming with a BOOM!

Meteor is a great childs book but it is also great for anyone who reads it. The author, Patricia Polacco, wonderfully uses all the space on each page to create an experience like you are actually there. The pictures will make children stare wide-eyed for hours. The book will make you giggle on every page. What makes this book even better is that it is completely true. The author really put her heart and soul into it because it comes out of her life experience. She uses alot of different characters and animals to liven each page up. I would recommend it for anyone but especially for younger children.

The story isexciting, and the pictures are wonderful. Ms. Polacco has a gift for telling stories, and she also spreads a wonderful message. Many of her stories stress kindness, compassion, and acceptance of others. I recommend, not only this book, but all of the books by Patricia Polacco.

The Most Outstanding Book Ever!

Meteor is one of the best books I've ever read. I'm 14 years old and thats kind of old for a kid's book but it is really great. When I was in 4th grade. I got to meet Patricia the author of the book. She read this book to my whole school during an assembly. it was so cool. What's even cooler is that this story is true. She even brought a piece of the rock to the school and I got to touch it. Patricia is an out stand women. I love all her books she's written. Meteor is a great story about a falling odject out of the sky that brings the whole town to it. It's just great. Patricia is one of my favorite all time aurthors. I reccommend this to everyone.
