Review: I liked best when Toby flew into the sky. The animals came to eat her, and in order to save her life she gave them her clothes.

I thought this book was funny, because at the end of the book they ate pancakes for supper, and I like pancakes.

Review: It was about Dora and the Unicorn King and it got to be a King and there was a dragon and elves. The unicorn helped the elf get peaches because the other elves wouldn’t help him. He helped the little squirrel to safety when Dora was going over the bridge and he got the crown and he became King!

Review: This is a story about a kid who hates school. Someone gives the school one million dollars and the school decides to buy a TV station with the money.

Miss Cutty is the crazy TV station manager and she wants to get more viewers than another school. For example, Miss Cutty made the kids at school sing a song . The kid who hates school becomes an actor for the TV station.

I really enjoyed the book and it made me laugh.

Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Written by Summer Reading Club on June 30th, 2015July 11th, 2015. Leave a comment

Reviewed by: Alice

Review: In this book, there is a boy called Charlie. (Charlie is the main character in this story.) Charlie lives with his mom,dad,grandma Josephine,grandpa Joe,grandma Georgina,and grandpa George. They are very poor. All they have to eat is a cup of lettuce soup in the morning, 1 lettuce leaf for lunch,and a half of a lettuce leaf for dinner. Until Mr. Willy Wonka starts a golden ticket contest… on the newspaper, Mr. Wonka wrote: “I have hidden 5 and only 5 golden tickets in my chocolate bars all over the world and the five people that find them will get a full day tour around my chocolate factory and will have a lifetime supply of my sweets”. Then, Charlie found a 1 dollar bill on the road and he bought 2 chocolate bars the second one had the last golden ticket in it!!!!!!!!! Then, at the end of the day, Charlie (Mr. Wonka’s favourite child of the 5) was chosen to be the one who would run the factory when Mr. Wonka was to old to run the factory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favourite character was Mr.Willy Wonka and Charlie.This story made me happy and a little bit silly.
