Review of Honeywood Street Fair
by Caleb Powell (with a little help from Mommy and Daddy)


In The Honeywood Street Fair by Catherine Lukas, Little Bill and his whole neighborhood help Little Bill's sister, April, get new uniforms for her basketball team. They have a street fair.

They sell stuff at the street fair like grapes, apples, cookies and lemonade. Alice the Great, Little Bill's great-grandmother, sells clothes she made out of wool at the street fair. There is a basketball hoop there, too, and if people make all five shots, they get to pick a prize. It costs $1 to play that game.

When they add all the money they raised, they end up with more than enough money for April's basketball team.

My favorite part of the book is when April is shooting the basketball and she makes the shot. It was fun putting stickers on the pages, too. Stickers come with this book.


Caleb is a 7-year-old first-grader who is doing very well in school. He enjoys the outdoors and welcomes every opportunity to play outside with his friends. He is an avid football fan and plays Flag Football, Soccer and Basketball. Because of his high interest in football, his parents are currently helping him to master the names of the United States by matching states to the names of professional and college football teams. Caleb's thoroughly enjoying that lesson!
