Little Kids: The Bad Guys

 The Bad Guys By Aaron Blabey

By: Dilan Mehta

We have been posting a lot of things aimed at Adults, Teens, and Kids, so today I'll be talking about a popular book for little kids.

The Bad Guys is a hilarious, unconventional book by Australian author Aaron Blabey. In this book, The Big Bad Wolf, Mr. Wolf, is tired of always being bad and wants to be a hero. He invites a few friends to be part of his "Good Guys" club. They are: Snake, Pirhanna, and Shark. Each has committed several crimes and are known to the public as evil. At first, they are skeptical. All they want to do is eat things, and don't want to become good. But they agree to come with Mr. Wolf. Mr. Wolf and the gang drive in a super fancy car, looking for trouble to stop. They find a kitten in a tree and stop immediately. They try to get the kitten down but end up scaring it. They each take turns trying until Snake gets fed up with Piranha and swallows him. Mr. Wolf swings Snake around until Piranha launches out, and lands right on the kitten's lap. The kitten freaks out and jumps out of the tree. Mr. Wolf catches her, but she goes crazy and claws him. Then she runs away. Mr. Wolf thinks it is a success because they got her down, but the rest of them aren't so sure. But Mr. Wolf thinks they are ready for the first mission as good guys, so they decide to lead a jailbreak and free the dogs of the pound. Shark dresses up as a lady who has lost her dog, which leads the guard to unlock the cages. He signals the rest, and after several failed attempts, Mr. Wolf launches Snake and Piranha in through a tiny window. They lead the dogs to freedom, but the dogs are scared of them and aren't grateful. Nevertheless, the Bad Guys are all really excited that they finally did some good. This book will make little kids crack up!

Things To Do While You Are Stuck At Home

 By: Dilan Mehta Okay, so I'm cooped up inside the house, no school because of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. And I know a lot of things are shut down, everything is closed, people have to stay home. But you can still be active and do things. I encourage you to go outside every day, get some sunshine. I am always in my backyard, playing with my brother, and that helps a lot. And it is also an opportunity to learn something new. I am trying to pick up new chords on my guitar, for Stairway to Heaven, and I've been improving my sprint time. So since a lot of us are bored, it is time to pick up a new project, something to do. Here are some websites that can help, because doing something new can be very beneficial, so I thought I would add this post.  https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/mo-willems/ This website can help you learn to doodle and draw with Mo Willems, the celebrated children's book author.

Warning: Post Contains Spoilers! Review By: Dilan Mehta This is a great book of Gordon Korman's that I have just read. It is about Eli, Amber, Malik, Hector, and Tori. Eli bikes to the edge of the city with his friend Randy, but suddenly gets very sick fast and has to get picked up by the mysterious Surety, the police force of Serenity. He stays in the hospital for a bit and then finds out that Randy is leaving Serenity. Serenity is where they live. It's supposed to be a perfect place to live. It's an ideal community, with no crimes, no poverty, no murders, etc. They value hard work and honesty. When Randy leaves, he's supposed to be going to help his grandparents on a farm.

Eli shows the note to his father, who has him take pills that make him forget about the note. Eli doesn't take th

Review By: Dilan Mehta Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if your life depended on it By: Chris Voss                                                    Chris Voss is the former lead hostage negotiator for the FBI. With dozens of high-stakes negotiations around the world, Chriss shares some of his expertise and techniques in this book.    Notes: *What I learned is that the key to getting what you want is to never split the difference, while at the same time, make sure your counterpart feels like they are being treated fairly. This means to not compromise. A lot of people think this is a good idea, but in reality, it is terrible and almost always ends in a disaster. So how do you get exactly what you wanted in the beginning? I found the strategies in this book very helpful. *Tactical Empathy: At first, don't focus on logic and problem-solving.  Humans are wild, irrational animals, driven by emotion. The book teaches that we should empathize with their situation be
