Book Reviews

This term's book reviewers.

As part of our english work we asked all of our children to review their favourite book. I have included one from each year group in school for this term and aim to post more in the future. The children also drew pictures to go with their reviews.

The Magic Stone

The little girl found a magic stone. She put it in the back garden. It turned into a diamond. I like this story because it has a nice diamond picture in it.

New Clothes For Alex by Mary Dickinson

This story is about a little boy called Alex. Alex has got a monster on the back of his t-shirt.He went to the shop to buy some new clothes.They were the same as his other ones.I like this book because I can read it and I like it when he gets a cake and wipes his hands on his trousers.

Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl

This book is about a fox who steals chickens. The farmers are called Farmer Boggis Farmer Bunce and Farmer Bean. Mr and Mrs fox and her cubs live in a big tree. Mr fox gets food. He is too fast for the farmers they are funny.
It is a Roald Dahl story the farmers keep chickens and geese. They are stringy as a stick and one is fat. This book is funny I like Roald Dahl.

Simon and the Witch by Margaret Stuart Barry

This book is about a boy named Simon who meets a witch and has a lot of adventures. The titles of the stories are the Backwards Spell, the Lost Magic Wand, the Witch at the Seaside, the Witch has Measles, Halloween and the Witch's Visitor.
I like the witch's visitor, her visitor is a snowman and at the end he melts.
I would recommend this book because I think it is good they are a lot of funny things in it.

A Band of Joining-In Stories by Pat Thomson

This book is about lots of different stories. The stories are funny and make-believe.
There is one story I like very much .It is called millions of cats it is about an old woman and an old man .The old woman wanted a cat so the old man went looking for one ,but I won't tell you the whole story because it will ruin it,but I will tell you it is well worth taking a look at.
I hope you will like the book as much as I did .So if you see it you should take a look at it .I would recommend this book for 5 to 9 years.It is a funny book so take a peek if you see it .

The Saddle Club (Horse Power) by Bonnie Bryant

This book is about the people in the Saddle Club (Stephanie Lake, Carol Hanson and Lisa Atwood) have been planning a gymkhana (fun games on horseback) for the rest of the people at Pine hollow stables. They plan crazy games and hopefully they'll get it ready in a couple of weeks. Carols dad was in the marines and his old friend has a daughter called Kate Devine. She is a championship rider but she want's to give up riding.
I would recommend this book because.... it is funny and it gives you tips sometimes. There is a series which would be fun to collect. I would only get it if you like horses.
