Meet Mr Monkey, who belongs to Class Two. He's more than just an ordinary toy. He's magic! No one can quite remember now how long
he's been at the school or where he came from, but once a week one
of the children has to take him home and write a diary about their time
with him. BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: This is about a boy called Ben who has a monkey. He didn't know it but the monkey
could do magic. There was a boy at school who was picking on Ben. His monkey did some tricks
to teach the bully some lessons. He made the food  that the boy ate turn into worms and the
sweets he ate made him all spotty. The bully stopped being horrible. I liked the book, especially
the pictures.

Review: The story is about a girl who helps the ghosts fill their empty library. The cover glows in
the dark which is really fun. This book is good. It has good pictures and it is fun to look at all the different ghosts.

My Really Wheely Racing Day
By Betty G Birney

Published by:  FABER CHILDREN'S BOOKS 

Humphrey gets the surprise of his classroom life when he gets a
whizzy hamster racing car. It's bright red with a stripe down the side
and he LOVES-LOVES-LOVES it! He practises as hard as he can,
because there's going to be a pet race. If he tries really hard,
will he win? BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

Review: I enjoyed this book.  I was glad there was a list of the characters at the start as this
helped me understand who they were.  Their names were funny too. The School hamster goes
home every weekend with a child from the class and has adventures. 
We had our school hamster Strawberry home but he didn’t drive any cars!  I would have liked it
if he had. It made me think that maybe we could race all the Hamsters in our school to see who
wins but I don’t think we would be allowed. At the start of the story I was confused who was
talking but I got used to it. My friends would like this story as one hamster in our school got out
of his cage and set off the alarms in the middle of the night.

Hagurosan
By Darren Shan

Published by: Barrington Stoke Ltd
ISBN: 1781122067

When Hagurosan is told to take an offering to the shrine, he reluctantly begins his trek up the mountain. But when he gets hungry and eats the cake meant for the spirits, things take a turn that no one could have expected. Now Hagurosan must face the consequences of his actions. 
BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: The picture on the front of this book made me think it was going to be a horror story but it wasn’t as bad as that. It’s about a boy who is sent to take cake to the mountain spirits but he eats
it and I thought that he was going to get into awful trouble but the outcome surprised me a bit.

Quite an interesting story and I would recommend it to my friends.

By Chris Blake

Join Tom on an incredible treasure hunt through time and battle
history’s mightiest warriors. The first book in a new time-travelling
series – perfect for fans of Beast Quest. BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

 

 

Review: I liked all the stuff about the Romans in this book.  At the back is a list of interesting things too.  We have done some stuff about the Romans in school and Harry had to wear a metal helmet
for a long time and it made a dent in his head!

There are six of these books and they all have game cards in them.  I enjoyed the story but it is not
my favourite book.

Nicholas's neighbours are in a royal frenzy! They're celebrating the Queen's coronation (whatever that means) and everyone's gone BONKERS! Dad's dressing up as a banana and why has Cheese got

Review: This is hilarious!! Very funny story and as good as Jeremy Strong’s other books I have
read. The twins cheese and tomato are brilliant.  I am a twin and my mother calls us dandelion
and burdock so I know what it feels like to have a ridiculous name.

Warning: this book will cure all boredom! Pick which pet is worse: a vampire bat, a dead worm or Godzilla; decide what you would do if you were Prime Minister; discover some yucky things that people eat around the world... and much more! BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: What a brilliant book.  I have gone back to it again and again.  It’s really good for long journeys in the car because it makes you ask questions.  I annoyed my dad on the way to school
by asking 24 questions in one journey which only takes 7 minutes.

Tom Gates Extra Special Treats (not)
By L Pichon

Published by: Scholastic Press
ISBN: 140714510X 

It's really cold outside and we're all hoping it's going to snow. Yeah!
Derek and I could make a snow Rooster and have a snowball fight (look out, Delia!). Granny Mavis has started to knit me a new winter jumper,
but by the looks of things I'm not sure it's going to fit. . .
BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: This book is great.  The pictures and doodles make it really fun to read and it makes you pay attention. He spends his whole time trying to get a Star Pupil badge which Marcus (v annoying character) seems to always get. His sister is a great character and the drawing of her looks like a girl
in my class which makes me laugh.

Boyface
By James Campbell

Published by: Hodder Children's Books
ISBN: 1444922076

Boyface Antelope has been waiting his whole life to turn ten and be allowed to enter his parents' stripemongering shop so he can take stripes off animals and put them on something different. Like tartan onto badgers, or removing the stripes of zebras to make ponies. On the morning of his tenth birthday he finds his parents ill, and they ask him not just to go in the shop but to look after it on his own! Will he be able to keep the stripemongery running smoothly? BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: I loved this story.  It was very unusual.  Even though it was totally made up and would never happen, when I was reading it I thought it might be able to happen. I thought I might try and make a Quantum Chromatic Disruption Machine and make some money but mum said ‘No’. I liked
the Clootie Whanger character and that she and Boyface got so friendly so quickly. I would recommend this story to anyone who likes something a bit different.

Discover the one thing Horrid Henry is scared of, watch out for the return of Rabid Rebecca, find out what happens when Henry makes a film about his family and lots more in the more hilarious and horrid storybook yet.
BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

Review: I love Horrid Henry on telly and this book is just as good and they are new stories. All the usual characters are there like Moody Margaret, Perfect Peter and Rude Ralph and Henry is still very, very naughty! I liked Horrid Henry’s Chicken best.  I didn’t know Henry was afraid of chickens.  He gets to take the school one home for the holidays. It made me laugh because I am afraid of chickens too.  It’s their feet. All very funny. 

5 stars

Review: I don't really like Horrid Henry because he is so naughty. He should be a bit more kind!

Horrid Henry 20^th Anniversary Edition
By Francesca Simon

Published by: Orion Childrens
ISBN: 144401384X

With a double die-cut cover and brand new extra material including the top twenty questions from Horrid Henry fans and readers about the world's favourite naughty boy - Has Horrid Henry got a girlfriend? What's the worst thing Perfect Peter has ever done? Were Horrid Henry's mum and dad ever naughty? Look out for the answers! BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: I am a big HH fan.  Love it on telly and love the books too.  My sis is a bit like Moody Margaret although she thinks she is like Gorgeous Gurinder. The best one in the book is definitely Horrid Henry’s Holiday.  We went camping last year and when we woke up in the morning my Dad’s face had frozen to the side of the tent so I know how Henry feels in the cold. I also enjoyed the 20 facts about Henry at the end of the book.  The best answer was to ‘What was Miss Battle Axe like when she was little?’ I would recommend this to anyone who is naughty.

5 stars

Frank Einstein and the Animator Motor
By Jon Scieszka

Published by: Amulet Books
ISBN: 1419715062

Frank Einstein loves to tinker, build and take things apart. He loves to observe, hypothesise, experiment and invent. Frank Einstein is a kid
genius who loves figuring out how the world works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part imagination and definitely unusual. BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: My favourite character in the book was Grandpa Al as I have a Grandpa Al myself. 
I also liked Mr Chimp and all his signs. I found the story hard to concentrate on and kept losing my place and forgetting what I had read.  It didn’t really grip me like some books do. I’m not into science that much.  When we made a working volcano at my Grandpa Al’s house it didn’t work! I would recommend this to people who enjoy working things out and inventing things.

2 ½ stars

 

James A, age 6

Review: I really liked this story because I like science and building things! I could imagine how
the characters acted.

Famous Five Colour Reads: A Lazy Afternoon 
By  Enid Blyton and Jamie Littler

Published by: Hodder Children's Books
ISBN: 1444916297

It's so terribly hot, the Five are having a lazy afternoon . . . but the gang don't get the peace and quiet they imagined! What are the men on the motorbikes up to? Can they be stopped? BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

Review:  This was a good adventure and I liked that Timmy the dog was the brave one.
I thought it wasn’t going to be much of a story at first but then the men on the motorbikes came
and it got much faster and more interesting. My mum said she used to read Famous Five and they were much longer. I liked that it was quite short but I was disappointed that I didn’t find out who
the nasty men were or what was in their bag!!  That would have finished it off better for me. 
Good mystery though.

ISBN: 1848123442

Pirates ahoy! An island-of-treasure adventure starring the nastiest pirates ever to sail the seven seas! The McNasty twins are horrible.

But when the despicable pirates never-ending quest for treasure takes them to the island of Little Snoring and brings them up against honest youngsters Tat and Hetty, they find they've more than
met their match. BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: This was a funny book and I liked the way that sometimes the pictures were part of the story.  It meant I was never bored because you had to pay attention. I loved the ‘Truly scrumptious perfectly poisonous jam sandwich flavoured fudge’ and also working out the mirror writing.
My friends would love this story, especially the last page.

Superhero School: The Revenge of the Green Meanie
By Alan MacDonald

Published by: Bloomsbury Childrens
ISBN: 1408825236

Stan Button had always dreamed of becoming a superhero. Then one day a letter arrives inviting him for an interview at the mysterious Mighty High School. To his amazement, Stan is offered a place - starting immediately. His superpower is 'non-conventional', as are those of his two new best friends. BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: I thought this book was quite good, especially the end (which I won’t spoil for you). I kept thinking that if you didn’t know you were a superhero, maybe I might be one.  That would be awesome. I like that he went from knowing nothing and making loads of mistakes to saving the world from the Green Meanie. Some of the words were funny too like ‘gigantinator’, ‘zwooob’ and ‘kerblaamm!’ I thought it was a bit long and when we were reading it I wanted to get to the end but it took ages.

Penny Dreadful and the Horrible Hoo-hah
By Joanna Nadin

Published by: Usborne Publishing Ltd 
ISBN: 1409554554

Written by established, bestselling author Joanna Nadin, with fantastically funny illustrations from Jess Mikhail throughout. The seventh book in a widely acclaimed series. The first book, Penny Dreadful is a Magnet for Disaster, was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: I loved the pictures of the characters in this book.  They gave me good ideas who they were.   I enjoyed the first story best.  I thought the babysitter was the funniest especially when he dressed as a hooligan. I liked that Penny was talking all the way through it.  It made it feel like her story.  I also liked the bit about ‘rock, paper, scissors’ as we play this a lot but not the way Penny played it. She thought that nothing was her fault when everything was her fault.  My brother does this so I am used to it. I did enjoy the other two stories but the first one was definitely the best.

Discover The Great Stink, the man who ate a bike, a girl really called Lorna Mower and a sofa that can do 101mph. BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: This is a funny book for in the car.  When we drove into town I read my mum the list
of annoying people.  There are 54 and mum explained them all to me and then said ‘there should
be 55 really because your dad is incredibly annoying!’ 

I liked the silly place names and the poems the best.

Class Six and the Nits of Doom
By Sally Prue

Published by: A & C Black
ISBN: 1472904591

Class 6's teacher is a witch. That's bad. The dancing skeletons and pterodactyls they can see in her eyes are worse. And nobody likes the snake in her desk. But worst of all are the witch-nits. Rodney catches
them first. It's not long before the whole class is scratching.
Then strange things start happening to them. The green glowing toenails. The antennae that pick up digital radio. And whatever it is that Rodney's turning into. Is there any cure for the nits of doom? BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: The class teacher is a witch and the story is really weird and funny. Nits go to all schools
so they are nothing to worry about but glowing toenails is something completely different and you definitely need to see a doctor if you have them.

Poor Rodney. 4 stars

Review: We love Horrid Henry in our house except Mum and Dad and Toffee our hamster who
can’t read, but everyone else. His jokes are like everything else he does. 
Rude silly and smelly.  A very funny book.

The Diary of Dennis the Menace
By Steven Butler

Published by: Puffin
ISBN:  0141350822

The Diary of Dennis the Menace gives readers the inside story on
every cheeky trick and prank played by the star of The Beano.
Written by Roald Dahl Funny Prize-shortlisted author of The Wrong
Pong series, Steven Butler, this hilarious book will delight Beano fans.
Meet Dennis, Gnasher and friends (and enemies!) and explore
Beanotown with Dennis as your guide. This is a brilliant celebration
of classic British comedy in the year that The Beano celebrates its 75 birthday. BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: I thought this was going to be a boys book and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.  Dennis has to keep a diary over the holiday and it’s quite funny. It is quite boyish with lots of bums
and burps but made me laugh too. 3 stars (although a boy who burps a lot and says ‘bum’ in every conversation, may give it more.)

Foxy Tales the Cunning Plan

Foxy DuBois is on a mission to get rich quick. Only one thing stands in
her way - Alphonso the Alligator! Can Foxy's hair-brained schemes make enough money to keep Alphonso fed? Or will Foxy DuBois find herself on the menu? BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: The plot is Cunning and the characters are quite funny. I liked the names they had. 
I liked the dogs who are called Tiddles, Pickles, Pansy, Fluffy and Muffin.  The last one is called Norman which is a boring name ( sorry all Normans).

Made me giggle but not my favourite book.

Nan's Little Night-Time Stories
By Joan C. White

Published by: Arthur H.Stockwell Ltd
ISBN:  072234273X

A kidnapped princess, an adventurous field mouse, a flea-ridden
mongrel, two little spiders and a pair of carpet nails - these are some
of the whimsical characters you will meet in Nan's Little Night-Time Stories. For many years Joan C White would tell her granddaughters one of her 'little stories' before they drifted off to sleep at bedtime, and now five of the best have been selected for other children to
enjoy. BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: These were unusual stories and I’m not sure why they were bedtime ones because one of them was quite scary. I didn’t really enjoy them as they were a bit odd and I can’t imagine my Nana telling them to me as she would tell much better stories. Biff and his Friends the Fleas was probably the best one as the fleas went onto the posh dogs and annoyed them. I thought this was a good bit and it made me laugh. I wouldn’t tell my friends to read this book as I have read much better books especially for bedtime.

Agatha Parrot and the Thirteenth Chicken

Published by: Jelly Pie
ISBN: 1405265744

Agatha Parrot is the most exciting and hilarious comedy series since Mr Gum! But don’t take our word for it . . . take hers! Hiya! One night me and my friends had to look after some baby chickens but one of them disappeared.  BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: I loved this book from start to finish.  The characters were so funny and the story made me and my brother really laugh. The funniest bit was when Martha put her foot down the toilet, and the bit about the cactus was brilliant too. I would tell everyone to read this book especially if you like funny stories and I would give it 5 stars.

The 13th Fairy
By Kaye Umansky

Published by: Barrington Stoke Ltd
ISBN: 1781123497

Grimbleshanks just wanted to be invited to the Royal Christening. All the other fairies had been invited. But not her - just because she didn't like pink or frills or dancing on her tip-toes. Well, she would show them ...with a curse! Sleeping Beauty as you've never read it before. BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

Review: I enjoyed this story but it was a bit hard to follow.  I like Sleeping Beauty so I don’t know why they needed to change it and make it harder to understand.

Famous Five and a Half Term Adventure
By Enid Blyton

Published by: Hodder Children's Books
ISBN: 1444916254

George's dog Timmy sniffs out an adventure when he spots some suspicious-looking passengers on a train. He is very interested in one of them, but what has he spotted? Can the Famous Five solve this mystery?BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

 

Review:  I liked this adventure although it was all over very quickly. I think their Aunt summed it up when she said ‘what a collection of children you are – you can’t even go for a walk without something happening to you’ I go for loads of walks and never have an adventure.  I am waiting for one though. My favourite character is Timmy as he only ever barks but everyone seems to understand him. A good story with funny pictures and a good ending.  I would recommend it to my friends because you can read it fast and it’s fast paced.

The Ellie McDoodle Diaries – Have Pen, Will Travel

Published by: Bloomsbury Childrens
ISBN: 1408855976

When Ellie McDoogle's parents go out of town, she's forced to go on a camping trip with her aunt, uncle, cousins and baby brother, Ben-Ben. Ellie can handle mosquitos and poison ivy, but sharing a cabin with her crazy relatives? No way! From her aunt's many rules to her cousin Eric's constant teasing, Ellie needs her sketchbook to survive this family vacation! BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: This book made me want to start my own drawing diary.  From the very first page it’s funny and clever. You see the pictures Ellie draws and pictures of Ellie when things happen to her. You also get her ramblings which are brilliant. If I had to spend time with these people I wouldn’t be as calm as Ellie especially when Tiffany wees through the bunk bed onto her! You cannot have this book read to you. You have to read it yourself so you can see the pictures for it to make sense. I loved the stuff at the end about how to draw and all the tips.

Sesame Seade is suspicious. There's something fishy going on by the river: a case for a number one supersleuth! Sesame's parents insist that there are no pirates in Cambridge, but she's determined to prove them wrong ... BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: Some parts I liked and some I didn’t. I liked that I now have a new way to trick mum into buying me things.  Just follow the information on page 59. But I didn’t like Mr Halitosis.  He made me feel sick and was a very boring teacher. It was a bit hard to follow sometimes and a lot to do with Cambridge where I have never been. I wouldn’t recommend this book to my friends as I have read much better books.

The Ellie McDoodle Diaries – New Kid in School
By Ruth McNally Barshaw

Published by: Bloomsbury Childrens
ISBN: 1408855968

Moving to a new house? Bad. Being the new kid? Worse. Ellie's family is moving to a new town, and Ellie is sure she won't fit in at school.
The other kids play "new kid bingo" behind her back, and even the teachers can't seem to remember her name. But when her new classmates start complaining about long lunch lines (and bad food), Ellie jumps at the chance to lead a protest. And tackling the school cafeteria just might be the perfect way to make new friends! BUY IT ON AMAZON

Review: Very funny first page.  These diaries are brilliant.  They are good for in the car as there is loads to see in them as well as the story. Ellie starts a new school and doesn’t get on very well.  I think this book could help anyone starting in a new school as she wins in the end and makes lots of friends. Tried to make an origami piano but just ended up with a scrunched bit of paper.  My brother got about halfway and then realised he was folding up his homework!!!

Good story and great pictures.  4 ½ stars

A celebration of cultural diversity, each poem appears in its original language (19 languages are included) next to an English translation so young children can delight in quirky, touching and funny verses from all over the world. BUY IT ON AMAZON

 

Review: I didn't like it when I first saw the cover because it just looked like an old book, but when I had read some of the poems I thought it was brilliant. My favourite poem is the one about a donkey (The Little Donkey). I liked it because it was about a little donkey and it reminds me of the Little Donkey Christmas song. I also liked the picture of the donkey.

Review: When I first saw this book, I thought it was going to be just an ordinary book but when I opened it and started looking at it I saw I was actually wrong, it was brilliant. i liked the pictures and the story and the dinosaur facts. I didn't like the black and white  and yellow colours very much, I would have liked it be really colourful.
