The Cat on the Mat is Flat by Owen .C

The Cat on the Mat is Flat

 Author: Andy Griffiths

Illustrator: Terry Denton

ISBN-9780312535841

Ages:6-10 (Recommended)


The book was first published in 2006. The author Andy Griffiths writes funny books and this book especially is one of the funniest's of them all. I really like this book because of the silly parts of the book.

"The cat sat on the mat" repeats, it's easy to read it because of the short period of chapters and little stories.
 There is a rat with a bat and a very flat cat also a frog on a jet rocket-log and a snack-stealing yak-in-a-sack called Jack also a duck with a truck that sucks up muck All these and lots more can be found in this book.

The Cat jumped off the mat and chased the rat around and around the mat, the rat didn't like being chased by the cat for 3 laps, the rat said "That's enough of that and got a BASEBALL BAT. Then the rat started to chase the cat around the mat then cat got hit by the baseball bat, now the cat is FLAT!

This book is very exciting to read because of its Entertainment and its comedy. That's why I recommend this book for you.

Song For A Scarlet Runner By Tansy G

Song For A Scarlet Runner

By Julie Hunt

ISBN-978-1-74331-358-9

(Ages 10 +) Recommendation 

Song For A Scarlet Runner is about a young girl named Peat who lives with  her sister Marlie. They live out of  town in a place where the cows live. One day Peat is out in the paddock with the cows, when one of the calves run off. Peat follows him up to the gap. The gap is a big drop that has a small thin  bridge going across it. She notices something odd. The calf was behaving himself with a complete stranger.

Peat ends up in the marshes where she gets caught in a trap. She thinks she's been caught by the swamp hags,(terrible old lady's who capture children and make medicine out of them)when they're actually swamp aunties, (who are healers)and give Peat a warm welcome.

Song For A Scarlet Runner is a mysterious and adventurous book with lots of fun and scary surprises along the way. It has exactly 315 pages of fun filled excitement with lots of twists and turns along the way. She's safe and sound at home one day and on the run the next.

This is by far the best book I have ever read and I would definitely read it again,(which is not a normal thing I would do) so go ahead and give it a try I guarantee you will like it!!

I highly recommend this book to people who like a good page turner or twist. Just because it doesn't look like much on the outside, doesn't mean it's not interesting. So it just goes to show you really can't judge a book by its cover!

(Ages 8+) highly recommended


This book is about a girl that has her own diary. She starts writing on Sunday the first. In her diary she does not want anyone looking in it with out her permission because there are words she does not want her parents to see.

A french TV show came on and she watched it and they made everything sound like you might want to eat it. After tea her best friend Isabella tried to teach Stinker some foreign words Stinker hates cats so she said "goto" it means cats.

I recommend you to read it.

Title:   HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE

Author:   J.K.ROWLING

ISBN 0-7475-5819-1

Age 8- and up (if a good reader 7 and up)

HARRY POTTER  AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
is an amazing book for young and old . It is so fun to read you can't stop reading it. You finish one chapter you can't wait to read the next one.

It is about a boy aged 11 who does not know he is a wizard who is on a journey to stop the evil wizard called VOLDEMORT.

Harry was taken to his only muggle family who are very, very mean. One day, letters started to fly in his house .His uncle was furious, so they went to this awful shack on a tiny island. A giant called Hagrid broke in and took him on his flying motor bike.They went to Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and Wizardry and that's just the start.    

Each chapter is amazing.  My personal favourite chapter is when Harry gets the Philosopher Stone.
It is an exciting book with a new adventure on every page.

 So if you like this what has been written about this book so far, you can get it in the library today. There are many other books about Harry Potter and him going on meany others adventures and quests.

Come-on it isn't going to borrow itself!

"My friend is sad", is one of the great books by Mo Willems. Read this book and you will crack up laughing it's so funny.This is one out of 7 that I read and I think it is the best.

Gerald the elephant and Piggie the pig are best friends.They play games and they do jokes and play pranks.
they are  so funny it is ridiculous .

Gerald sometimes smiles and Piggie always smiles.Nothing makes them sad when they are together.

They dress up and they don't know who it is."My Friend Is Sad" does not make you sad it makes you smile so my rating is 99/100.

There are lots of good drawings and you can tell who is talking because of the speech bubbles.

You need to read this" My friend is sad".
