Wombats Can't Fly by Michael Dugan, Illustrator Jane Burrell

This book was about two little wombats found a shiny thing in a bush.Then they all the other things to a hot air balloon and rose up in the sky.

Grug by Taaha and Ryan


It was about a Grug who was trying to find a house. In the end he found a cave that was empty. It was good and fun to read about Grug and his house.

My favourite part of the book was when he made a house. His house was good. Me and Ryan thought we could make a house like Grug’s house. It was our best book.

Grug is so good because you can read it easily. You should read it because it’s about the first Grug and how he made a house.




Grug is written by Terry Prior

George's Secret Key To The Universe review by Andres

George's Secret Key To The Universe, By Stephen Hawkins and Lucy Hawkins

The story is about a boy named George, who stumbles across a house that no one had been in for years. He soon finds out that there are people living there called Eric and his daughter, Annie, who are obsessed with science. 

Eric has a computer called Cosmos. Cosmos is the most powerful computer in the world and enables you to travel anywhere in the universe. At first it was fun, but when Eric gets sucked into a black whole and cosmos gets stolen by a mad scientist who intends to control the universe, everything goes a bit strange.

I recomend this book to people between 7 and 14 years because it can be hard to read and can be scary at times.

'The Twelve Princesses' by Isobel


This book is about the twelve princesses and every night they go through a trap door and dance. Every morning they wake up.

My favourite part is when the ugliest child is proved to be the smartest.

I liked this book because they changed the classic fairytale from classic to modern.


You should read this book because it is a very good book.

'Purple Snow' Review - By Olive, Giuliana and Amy




This book is about a cockatoo that believes there is purple snow in Australia. The polar bear wants to see purple snow. Our favorite part of the book is when the polar bear wants to see purple snow but it isn't purple snow at all.

We like this book because it's funny and it's not really purple snow. You should read this book because it's easy to read which is good if you want to read it at school.
