Rules for Stealing Stars by Corey Ann Haydu
Rules for Stealing Stars can be described as many things:
heartbreaking, enchanting, lovely, and most of all genius.
Haydu has put together a story that tugged on my heart,
pulling me into Silly's wonderous and peculiar world.
Every child has yearned for a magical world of their own,
and this captivating book provides it.

Bored is when you have nothing to do,
And you sigh all day long,
BOARD is wood, you use to make stuff,
(But to make stuff you have to be strong.)
The words, so different, yet sound the same,
How can this truly be?
So different are the meanings,
Every day it befuddles me.
It's the same with meet and meat,
So similar is the sound,
But meat is food you eat,
And you MEET people year-round.
Oh, and bear and bear!
These two are spelled the same!
But you BEAR something or someone,
And bear is an animal's name.
Why is it these words have different meanings,
Yet have the most similar sounds,
They sound the same but don't look the same
To me, that is not profound.
Why does broccoli taste so bad?It makes us gag and sputter,Why does broccoli taste so bad?(It's even worse with butter.)The thought of it just makes me sick,I push it out my brain,I try to convince my mom it's "ick"But I do it all in vain. "But mom!"I say, and push it around my plate,"If I eat it I'm going to DIE!""Real nice try." she says as I sigh.Why does broccoli taste so bad?This sick and vile thing.Having to eat it makes me sad,To get rid of it I'd do anything.
