Book Reviews

My name is Lousie. I read ‘The Church Mice And The Moon’. It was written by Graham Oakley.
It was about two mice from the church. Their names were Arthur and Humphrey. One day they got caught by two scientists who wanted to turn them into astronauts to send them to the moon.
I especially like when the mice were saved by their friend Sampson the church cat.
I think this is a good book for 3rd and 4th class because there are some hard words in it but I enjoyed it.

My name is Lauren. The book I read is acalled ‘Glo Butterfly’ by June Woodman.
It was about a magic butterfly called Glo Butterfly. She lived happily with all her friends in Glo Land. When her friends broke anything Glo Butterfly would always use her magic to try and fix it but it never worked. She went to see Granny Bug to help her with her magic. Granny Bug told Glo Butterfly to think very hard and her magic will work and it did.
I especially liked when Glo Butterfly’s magic wand worked and she came back and fixed her friend’s things and then they had a picnic by Glo pond to welcome back Glo Butterfly’s magic.
I think this is a really nice book and it has lovely pictures.

My name is Lauren and I am in second class. I read ‘The magic Paintbrush’.
It was about a poor boy who loved to paint but he had no money to buy a paintbrush. One night he had a dream that an old man gave him a magic paintbrush and when he woke up it was on his bed. He painted pictures of animals for poor people. Anything he painted came to life.
I especially liked when he painted a ladder to escape from the mean emperor who wanted him to paint gold.
This is a good book for people who are good readers because there are some hard words in it.

Hello. My name is Rebecca. I read the book ‘Alice in Wonderland’. It was about a girl who fell down a rabbit hole when she was chasing a rabbit. She drank a magic drink and it made her smaller. Then she ate some cake and it made her bigger. She met other animals but when she woke up she found out it was all a dream.
I especially liked the part when Alice started crying and flooded the place. I thought it was very funny and a very good book.

My name is Tara. I read ‘Winnie in Winter’ by Korky Paul. It was about Winnie the Witch. It was winter but she got tired of winter. Willard, her cat, was fed up too. She used her wand and made it summer at her house.
Everybody came to Winnie’s garden. She got very angry when she saw somebody selling ice-cream in her garden so she changed her garden back to winter.
I especially liked when Winnie shut her eyes and stood on her tip-toes. She counted to ten and waved her wand five times. She shouted ‘ABRACADABRA’ and made it summer in her garden.
