THE BAD BOOK

The Bad Book by Andy Griffiths & Terry Denton

Reviewed by Tilly, 9yrs. old - Tween Book Reviewer and Sometimes Writer

The Bad Book was a good book!

It had stories, poems and pictures of bad things like kids doing naughty things. It was funny! At the back of the book there is a blurb about: a bad bad house, in that bad bad house was a bad bad room, in that bad bad room there was a bad bad shelf, on that bad bad shelf was bad bad book and this is it.

I think all kids would love this book, my big sister also liked it and boys would like it too. I got this book as a Christmas present from Santa and I love it.

I rate this book out of 5...

This week I found a dinosaur paper doll - because my sister (Milly) loves dinosaurs!

DOG

Dog by Daniel Pennac. Translated by Sarah Adams.

Reviewed by Tilly, 9yrs. old - Tween Book Reviewer and Sometimes Writer

Dog is a book about... a dog named Dog.

Dog's puppyhood was horrible! He was half-drowned at birth, abandoned on a rubbish dump and chased by dog catchers. Poor Dog. Dog has a friend at the rubbish dump who teaches him how to survive. Through this friend, Dog learns about the town and what it is like to have a mistress. Dog goes in searh of a well trained owner but not many people like him. Everybody calls him ugly except Plum.

This book made me feel happy and sorry for him. I probably would love Dog, I think he's cute. I thought this was a sweet story and I liked reading it. Dog was a french book and has been translated.

I rate this book out of 5...

This week I found another doggy paper doll for you to print and cut out!

FRUITS BASKET

Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya

Reviewed by Milly, 12yrs. old - Teen Book Reviewer and Sometimes Baker

Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya is a manga book series about a group of guys and girls that have a curse. I won't spoil it by telling you what that curse is, but it has something to do with the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. A girl named Tohru Honda finds out what the secret is and gets involved.

I borrowed this book from my good friend Alice (who loves manga).

It may say that it's a romance but i think it's comedy. I love this book sooo much that I have started reading the next one!

This is a brilliant manga series, so I'm rating it out of 5 paper dolls:

And my recipe for you this time is super easy but super delicious:

Chocolate Croissants

On weekends I often have my friends over for a sleepover and I serve them this for breakfast (it's a favourite). It's so simple and quick.

We buy a big pack of croissants from the supermarket (our store sells them in a pack of 12) and buy a big block of really nice dark chocolate (I love Lindt 50% dark, but you can use your favourite - Tilly likes white chocolate in hers).

Just slice the croissants and slip in a couple of squares of chocolate and bake on a medium heat for about 15-20mins (you just want them to heat up and melt the chocolate). When they come out you can sprinkle them with icing sugar and they taste just like the bakery ones!
