There's trouble when a horse eats too many rotten apples. I've read "Rotten Apples" published from Oxford Reading Tree. This story begins with Biff picking up apples from the yard. There are fine apples, and rotten apples. Then she takes the apples to the trash with is in right front of her house. Right as she do that, horse pulling a cart comes by, and Biff gives the horse some fine apples. But the horse starts eating all the apples in the box, and gets dunk by eating too much rotten apples. I think this is true and I never knew that this happens. Learning something new everyday. Hunt.R, Brychta.A(1994) Rotten Apples . Oxford Reading Tree.

Everyone makes a go-kart, but who wins the Go-kart Race? I've read "The Go-kart Race" published from Oxford Reading Tree. This is about Biff seeing the poster for the Go-kart race in town. She asks her mother if she has any go-kart, but it was broken, so they make a new one instead. They went over some difficulties and goes to the race. I thought their design would be the fastest design avoiding wind pressure as possible. Hunt.R, Brychta.A(1994) The Go-kart Race . Oxford Reading Tree.

The children get the blame when some jewelry is stolen. I've read "The Shiny Key" published from Oxford Reading Tree. This story starts with Chip losing the magic key. He had it on the arm of the chair, but it disappeared from the arm of the chair. (This actually happens a lot for me too.) He finds it, but it's covered with candy or something. So he cleans with some key cleaner, and it becomes shiny of over cleaning. Then the magic happens it takes them to one kingdom that there is a thief taking many things from people, and the children get the blame because they had one of the stolen things. They just picked it up from the ground. But it was just a bird which likes shiny things. They find it out by following the bird to the nest which took the shiny key.

Can the Children get to Riddle Mountain and solve the hardest riddle of all? I've read "The Riddle Stone (Part 2)" published from Oxford Reading Tree. This is continued from part 1. The children continues their adventure to Riddle Mountain. Just like the last part, Hong answers most of the riddle. How were they going to reach the mountain without him? So the boy who wanted to be Riddle Writer only answered about two riddles. Its actually one if you don't count the Last Riddle because they had the answer and told him.

Getting to Riddle Mountain is hard when the only way is to solve riddles. I've read "The Riddle Stone (Part 1)" published from Oxford Reading Tree. This story's beginning is really weird.

Biff and Chip are trying to find the thieves who stole the crown. They find how the thieves have stolen the crown which was using rope and arrow. They find out the price's father did this so he could be the king. (I thought the king's child is supposed to be the prince so I don't know why father wanted to be the king.)

The Magic Key takes the children to Paris. Why can't they find the Eiffel Tower? I've read "Paris Adventure" published from Oxford Reading Tree. In this story, the children goes to Paris in past before The Eiffel Tower was built. So Eiffel's original plan was to built a giant torch shaped just like an upside-down Eiffel Tower. Then the children corrects it by making it upside-down just like the real Eiffel Tower. I thought this book was for education so I was little surprised that this book teaching wrong history to children who are reading the book. Hunt.R, Brychta.A(2007) Paris Adventure .
