A Book Review of The Fox and the Star

I recently borrowed the book The Fox and the Star by Coralie Bickford-Smith . I borrowed the ebook version from my library on Libby. The Fox and the Star is a children’s book about a fox who tries to find his friend, a star, after it disappears one night. While I found the illustrations beautiful, and the writing decent, I was a little disappointed by the ending.

Church Autumn Festival

Here is a video of a couple of things we did at the church autumn festival yesterday. 

Before the other things we did that are shown in the video, the pastor of the church asked everyone to gather around and when we did, some people and a few kids threw yellow balls with a Bible verse on it into the air for people to catch and to keep. The pastor then explained that Jesus came to save us from our sins and prayed.

Then we participated in the cake and crafts auction the church was having. There was one cake that my mom wanted to get and it was a key lime cake with pecans sprinkled on top. She bid on it and won it.

Once we got home, my mom, my sister, and I each got a slice of the cake and it was very delicious.  

I found our day at the festival enjoyable and I hope to go on more adventures soon.
