Goodnight Mr Tom - My Favourite Book

Advantages: Well Written And A Great Story Line
Disadvantages: Its A Tear Jerker

Goodnight Mr Tom is a book my mum gave me when I was younger and still to this day its my favourite book and one that I never bore of reading. The book was written by Michelle Magorian and has been in circulation since 1981. I first read this book when I was 12 but to be honest I think its one that should be viewed by parents before allowing their child to read it as it does contain some uncomfortable but powerful reading. The book tells the story ...

Review of Goodnight Mister Tom - Michelle Magorian

Breaking Dawn-the final book of Twilight

Advantages: We'll see the happy ever after
Disadvantages: The fact that this is the final book

I couldn't help being excited when I first had my hand on this book! I was excited about the wedding! And the fact that Edward brought Bella to a very romantic place. I love reading their time together in the island. Their time together in the island was so romantic. Edward was so thoughtful and loving. And then Renesmee! Who wouldn't love her. She was lovely. Perfect. I actually can't help but laugh whenever there was a jacob moment after Renesmee's ...
...daughter Nessie. That was funny. And I also like the gathering of the different coven, everyone adores Renesmee, and Jacob was so sweet being around her to protect her even if he was surrounded by vampires. And the fact that Bella also started learning her powers. And then of course I really love the final scene where Bella, Edward and Renesmee went back to their home at the ending. How I wish there will be a Jacob/Renesmee spinoff. ...

Review of Cherub The Recruit - Robert Muchamore

Is it that time already?

Advantages: Easy to read, some funny elements
Disadvantages: None

...by Jill Murphy. Peace at Last is written and illustrated by Jill Murphy, it is a book that is great for bedtime reading but also suitable at other times, we read the story at various times over the week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The basic plot surrounds poor Daddy Bear and his inability to get to sleep, it all starts with Mummy Bear’s snoring and goes through the whole house in Daddy Bear’s quest for a good night’s sleep, we are in Baby Bear’s room, ...
...poor daddy can find no peace. We can all sympathise with Daddy Bear and all have had nights when it just seems impossible to get over to sleep and where every little noise seems even louder and very annoying. The book is set at night and introduces us to lots of familiar areas but from the perspective of the night time scene, dark, quiet but also active and noisy. There is nothing scary in the book, indeed it is a good way to discuss with your child ...

...on a wonderful book named Guess How Much I Love You. This is specifically the Jigsaw Puzzle Book. I discovered this book a few years ago at a christening in Pontefract. It was a fairly low key service conducted by the most odd female vicar. As part of her service, she read a story to the children present in the room. That story was Guess How Much I Love You. Since that day, we have been in love with this particular book and never tire of it. Guess ...
...most definately best known for Guess How Much I Love You and it was this very book that was shortlisted for the 1994 Kurt Maschler award. It is one of the worlds best ever selling picture books. Sam is married with three grown-up children and a teenage tortoise, and lives in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The book is illustrated beautifully by Anita Jeram.
