Room 3 Reviews.

Hanna enjoyed the book Daisy's Maze by Kyle Mewburn.
Daisy was a pretty mouse who lived in a tall tower. Her friends stopped visiting her because they got too tired climbing the stairs to see her. This made Daisy unhappy and lonely.
Hanna thought that this was a good story, especially for juniors. She liked the maze at the end of the book.

Cheralyn recommends books by Mo Willems

Piggie is a small pig who is full of enthusiasm. She is kind and sharing.
Gerald is an Elephant who is a bit of a show-off and a "Mr Know-It-All", and always needs things his way.
He is the opposite of Piggie because he is quite selfish, but I would say he is a funny character.

Tiger Moth Kung Pow Chicken by Aaron Reynolds
This is our third book story about an insect superhero, Tiger Moth.
Kung Pow is half boy / half Pillbug. His friend, Tiger Moth has been captured by Evil Weevil.
Kung Pow is trying to save his friend.
This graphic novel illustrations are colourful comic style. The story is funny and it has a bit of a mystery.
I think that Years 3 - 6, especially boys, who enjoy reading comics would enjoy this.

The World of Food Chains with MaxAxiom
by Liam O'Donnell
This story explains how the cycle of food chains work.
The explanation is given by MaxAxiom, who is a
fictional scientist.
The information in this story is very interesting
and you can learn many things about the topic.
Readers from Year 3 and above should find this book helpful because the facts are given clearly and the illustrations back them up.
I recommend this to any readers interested in the natural world.

Fang Fairy
Written and illustrated by Andy J. Smith
Marty Kreep lost his first baby tooth and put it under his pillow. Instead of finding money, the next morning he finds a ring of yucky, green slime.
During the night he heard curious noises and a very loud HOOOOWL!
Marty asks his older brother, James to help.
He talks to his family but no-one believes him
other than his best friend, Nessy.
That set off a mystery, - who is behind all this trouble?
I recommend this book to year 3 – 5 children
because it has a basic story line and is a good book
for children starting to read chapter books.
Fang Fairy is also good for those who like reading
mysteries (that are a little bit scary).

Building the Great Wall of China
Written by Terry Collins
This storyteller, Dr Isabel Soto, travels through
the time of building the Great Wall of China.
She uses a W.I.S.P.
Unfortunalely a tourist walks through the W.I.S.P and Dr. Isabel has to save them.
But what are the workers doing to the Wall? And who are those people trying to attack the Wall?
Read this book to go through the rebuilding of the Great Wall of China.
I recommend the book to year 3 – 5 children. It is a historical story, but easier to follow than straight non-fiction books, because it is written as a graphic novel and has a basic story line. It is good for children wishing to read a graphic novel which has factual information.
