Reviewed by Ella F. APS

This book is about a very greedy, selfish dog. He never shares with Trevor - a sausage dog – who always asks Pig but never ever does. I think this story is about always being nice and sharing because the worst things can happen.

I thought it was funny. The illustrations are really good and also funny.

​Reviewed by Harry G. PSPS

I liked this book. It was pretty funny. It’s a good book for little kids. It’s about a rabbit called Little Rabbit Foo Foo who goes around on his motorbike bopping animals and creatures on the head.

I would give it a 7 /10 because it’s a fun read.

Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle

Reviewed by Amelia H. APS

This book is about Mister Seahorse and all types of animals in the ocean. First, he passed Mr Stickleback who built a nest for his wife, Mrs Stickleback. Then he passed Mr Tilapia who couldn't talk because he had his mouth full of eggs. It's a fiction book, which means it's a made-up story, and is also a colourful book with special camouflage pages.

One Sunday the little old man and the little old woman thought that their grandchildren would be coming over to visit them.

At the beginning of this story King Pig was so mean. He thought the sheep would like him more if he had fancier clothes, but it didn't work because he dyed them all different colours, shaved all the sheep’s wool and made them make the new clothes. At the end he gave the sheep warm clothes because they were super cold and wet.
This was a good book for all ages to learn about their mistakes.

The Very Bad Book by Andy Griffiths

I reckon this was an interesting book and I hope you do to.
