This book is about Carmela who has a birthday with full of wishes. And her wish is to go to town with his brother.
This book is about a girl named Carmela and her birthday could not get any better. For her birthday she got a scooter and she was finally old enough to go to town with her brother. But she did not expect her brother to act the way he was acting he was working and ignoring her. In my opinion I think that this book shows that if somebody is giving negative to you then you should not be negative to them. This inspired me to be more kind to everyone. In this book I think they show kindness and compassion. If you like books that start out positive then negative and positive again then this book is for you.
I rate this book 5 stars because I loved it. It's about a girl who had her birthday and she got jingle bracelets. But she was most excited to go out in town with her older brother with her scooter. Because she was finally old enough to but it goes wrong. I think the theme of this book is kindness because at the end she was kind to older brother after her older brother was kind to her. If you like picture book about kindness you should read this book!
This is a cool book that's about a girl & its her birthday. She wishes to go to the city with her brother to see him to work. She keeps jiggleing her bracelets to annoy her brother. She falls and her brother helps her get up & bring her to a beach & she tacks off her bracelets to not annoy her brother anymore. If you like this book you will like The Dot.
