Good morning Miss Jones
This morning I read Giraffes can`t dance.
The author was (Giles Andreae Guy Parker-rees)
The book is about a giraffe called Gerald that can’t dance but at the end she is the best dancer that the other animals ever saw. She started to listen to the music she liked and began to fly and dance.
Thanks for sharing your book review Heloise! I have read this story too and really enjoyed it! 🙂
I love the Rainbow Magic books because it always finishes well. My favorite fairy is Selma the snow leopard fairy. She is a fairy who looks after the other animals and leopards are my favorite animals. The author is Daisy Meadows.
There is another fairy called Louise the Lily fairy, I really want to read it.
Great book review Louise! We have a few of the Rainbow Magic books in class too! 🙂
Hello Miss Jones,
During the Summer term I read a book called ” Not Last Night But The Night Before ” by the author Colin McNaughton and the illustrator Emma Chichester Clark. The book talks about a boy who invited his friends to his Birthday party but when they came in they knocked him flat and then later began to sing. I really liked the book because it was funny and it rhymed.
Fantastic Jay, thanks for sharing about the book you read. It sounds like a really fun book! 🙂
The name from the book was Snatchabook. The author was Helen Docherty & Thomas Docherty.
The book is about a little animal called the Snatchabook. He steals all the books form all the animals at Burrow Down. He does this because he does not have anyone to read the book to him.
Eliza catches him in her bedroom and together they hatch a plan to give back all the books the Snatchabook nicked. At the end they are friends.
You have explained the story well Heloise, good effort! It sounds like a story that makes you want to read on more and more!
Hi Miss Jones,
This morning I read The Secret Rescuers, the baby firebird. The author is Paula Harrison.
The book is about a girl called Talia who loves magic animals, her best friend gave her a magical stone to speak to magical animals. I loved this book because there is a firebird called Riki and another one called Amber-wing who are friends with a dragon called Bellegar. Talia, her human friend Lucas and the dragon help the firebirds survive because the magic fire pool is blocked with stones and without the fire pool the firebirds can die. Talia and Lucas removed the smaller stones and the dragon removed the big stones.
At the end, Talia sees her friend Sophy and Sophy gives Lucas a magical stone so that he can speak to the firebirds too.
A great book review Louise, you have included lots of detail about the story! The magical stone sounds exciting!

Hello Miss Jones,
My dad is reading Matilda to me. It is a Roald Dahl book. I really like it. It’s about a very clever small girl. Her head teacher is not very nice.

This mornig I read James and the Giant Peach, chapter 1. The author is Roal Dahl and the illustrator is Quentin Blake.
It’s about a little boy that stays the whole day in prison because of his ugly and stupid aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.
I think in chapter 2 his ugly aunts let hime cut trees in the garden the whole day long.
Great work Heloise, this story is a real classic! Do you like lots of the drawings in the book? Quentin Blake is a great illustrator!
Dear Miss Jones

Great work Isabella, you have been reading lots of books which is great to hear! I love the story the owl who is afraid of the dark! Well done for taking part in the reading challenge too 🙂
This morning I read chapter 2 of James and the Giant Peach.
In this chapter James’s aunts tell him to cut wood the whole day but at the end he runs at the far end of the garden and hid behind that clump of dirty ol laurel bushes. James was very sad because he can’t go to the seaside and because his aunts are not kind to him.
Next I think he is going to see a man with a bag full of tiny geen beetles.
Well done Heloise, I can see you are reading a brilliant book by Roald Dahl, I love this author! My favourite book is Matilda! Let us know what happens next when you have read some more chapters 🙂

Hello Miss Jones,
I’ve been reading the book ‘The Naughty Mermaids’ from the book 365 stories for girls.

So they learnt that they shouldn’t eat children’s food. They should only eat mermaid food.

Dear Miss Jones.
I have just finished reading Zoe’s Rescue Zoo, The Silky Seal Pup.
I liked this book because it was about animals and the main character is called Zoe. She can talk to animals and she has a special paw print key that opens every gate in the Zoo.
In this story Zoe had to save the Rescue Zoo from closing down. She got an idea that could save the Zoo by getting all the parrots to make sounds of every animal in the Zoo and then they put on a big show and they made lots of money from donations, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Zoo open. Her uncle found a new type of butterfly and then lots of famous people came to see the butterflies and her uncle named the new butterflies after Zoe which saved the rescue Zoo.
This story sounds like an adventure Isabella! What a happy ending with the butterflies being so popular! 🦋 thanks for sharing!
Tabby McTat is my favourite book and the authors are Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
The story is about a man who lost a cat and the cat came back. The cat got lost because he wanted to meet a friend. McTat find his way back to Fred through the sign of the riverside. They are very happy 😃 to play their old song again.
