I recommend this book because it is funny. I like the part when owl thought there were strange bumps in his bed. Owl went to bed to rest. He thought that there were strange bumps in his bed, so he went downstairs. The bumps were really . . . . You have to read the story to find out. Owl worries a lot and is very sad sometimes. He also is kind. I like this character a lot.

I think that this book is excellent because it asks you a lot of questions and I learned that British people celebrate a holiday called Guy Fawkes Day. I think that Robert Catesby should go on the bonfire because it was his idea to blow up the king.

I thought that Freckle Juice was excellent. It had great detail and it could really use it. For example, when Sharon made a frog face, it was dramatic. I liked Andrew because he never lies. As a character, Sharon is the meanest and does not do good things. She does cruel things. Ms. Kelly does not catch all of the bad things that she does. The book Freckle Juice is perfect for kids who like chapter books. It makes me feel like you can just open the book and read.

Sammy the Seal is a good book because it tells how Sammy gets to visit a new place. Sammy is adventurous. He makes friends. I have a book-to-self connection because he made friends in school and I did too! I think that is cool! I recommend that you read this book because it tells you that Sammy Seal gets to see what is outside the zoo.

I thought this book was excellent because even though it was set in the war, happy things happened, such as Eva’s parents coming to Dorset to see her and Sheena.

I liked it when the girls were shaking the apples off the tree and one hit Mr Henry on the head and he fell off his bike. I recommend this book for others to read. It is really good!

I thought this book was excellent because they make lots of mess. My favourite bit was when Max takes the food out. You will love this book if you read it and you will really love the characters.
