When Marcie's silver kitten Misty goes missing, her best friend Ellie leaps into action and Operation Find Misty is born. But soon Ellie's detective skills are put to the test. Will Marcie's dreams of an artistic boy help the pair solve the mystery of the lost kitten? BUY IT ON AMAZON Review: I really liked the cover of this book which inspired me to pick it up and read it. I thought this book was a really good book. Misty is a kitten who is lost, and her owner Marcie must have been feeling really worried and shocked that her precious Misty was missing. Ellie, Marcie’s friend is a really good friend because she is helpful and helped Marcie find her missing kitten. We read this book at bedtimes and I really liked the illustrations throughout this great book. We have looked at more books by this author. 5 stars |

Chaos reigned at times in the 'quiet' corner of the woods. Bonny Boletus tried hard to keep her brothers and the other young Fungi Folk under control, but it was a tough job - the terrible Toadstools cheating against the Merry Mushrooms on sports day; the Stinkhorn family not speaking to one another; somebody giving poor Aunt Alice Agaric a scare ...! What would they get up to next? Bonny was full of good ideas to keep them out of mischief, but did the ideas always work? Find a moral in every story. BUY IT ON AMAZON Review: I didn't like this book, there was way to much writing and the not enough pictures. The story wasn't very exciting either. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. 0 stars |
