Children’s Book Reviews by Yollie

Join one Wimpy Kid- Greg Heeley- as he struggles through middle school in this fabulous book.

This was one of those books you can’t help finishing. On every page a hilarious new event is discovered, you can’t help but want to follow Greg on his absurd journey through middle school. Meet ‘MORONS’, ‘FREGLEY AND HIS SECRET FRECKLE’,and of course whoever is unlucky enough to have the ‘CHEESE TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!’

This a hilarious book, with a brilliantly funny way of writing and humouring pictures. This book will put a smile on anyone’s face.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes humour or is just looking for a good read.

London Deep is set in the future, in a flooded London. Instead of Trafalgar Square we have Trafalgar Swamp.

Jemima Mallard is a young, adventurous, happy and curious girl, but when two kids appear and sink her house boat she’s not too pleased. Police are the biggest problem though. You have the YPD (Youth Police Department) and the APD (Adult Police Department). Both sides are fighting it out to prove they are the best. When Jem finds herself arrested by the YPD on suspicion of helping or even being the devious ‘Father Thames’ she doesn’t know what to do. Can Jem uncover the true identity of ‘Father Thames’ before her time is up, – maybe that small white duck can help.

This book contains some brilliant cartoon-illustrations drawn by Paul McGrory. Although I occasionally found some of the pictures seemed a bit irrelevant.

Overall I thought this book was great. It would suit most ages.

I read this book with my six year old brother. He loved the illustration and thought the characters were hilarious. This was a well written book with simple words and sentences. It is a great re-creation of the old cartoons.

Laugh your socks off with this book. It’s hilarious!

A fab book for all ages.

Here’s a snippet from the back of the book:

” Now then, where’s my fabulous bottom?” “It’s behind you,” said Dad “Where else could it be?”
Nicholas’ brother’s bottom is so famous it’s going on tour. The T.V. people are taking the family on the road – but someone has to look after the goat! And when the Bumper Dumper tour bus is kidnapped by giant babies it’s up to Nicholas to save the day (again) – can he get there in time?
