Library+Book+we+Read

Here are some short book reviews of the books we have read.

The Giraffe and the Pelly and me by Roald Dahl.

I issued this book because I wanted to read a new series so I tried Roald Dahl. Also because these books are not to hard or easy, just right! In the past I really like it but then went off but now back on track!

Clarice Bean: Spells Trouble Lauren Child

Greytown School Library I love this book!! I have read lots of Lauren Child’s books and I love them because she is really creative and her pictures are really nicely illustrated. I recommend this book to all readers especially around the age of 7-10 years old. Clarice Bean gets into a lot of trouble around home and school, sometimes for no reason at all. Her Mum and Dad are always quite busy, and all her siblings mind their own business. Clarice Bean has a really awesome best friend called Betty Moody. They both absolutely love Ruby Redfort, and one day Clarice wants to be like her because she is a super spy.

She also has this neighbor called Robert. He is always following her but, when Clarice falls out with her friend Karl, what will happen? This is really good read. I hope all those Clarice bean fans enjoy this book too.

The Boy Who Burped Too Much



By Scott Nickel and Illustrated By Steve Harpster

This is a book about a boy called Bobby. He burps a bit too much. He burps in the movies, his sister’s dance class and even in the library. Bobby has a spelling test coming up and he is scared that he will burp in the middle of a word. His best friend Joseph comes to his house with a cure book. They try lots and lots of cures but none of them work. He goes to the ice-cream shop with his Grandpa. His Grandpa gives him a lucky frog. Bobby goes to his big spelling test. Will Bobby burp in his spelling test and will he cure his burps.

Bobby is just a normal kid it is just that he burps too much. He likes baseball, drawing pictures and video games. It’s set in lots of places, at home, school, ice-cream shop and at the spelling bee. The charters are Bobby, Joseph, Grandpa, Courtney Williams and Bobby’s teacher. I thought that this book was a good read because it is really funny and bobby burps alot.
