Black Dog By Levi Pinfold

This book is about a black dog that at the beginning of this book the black dog is a big dog and starts to get bigger and bigger. The youngest of the family and is not scared of the dog. She goes outside with the dog and the dog starts to follow her everywhere and then starts to shrink until the dog is a normal sized dog.
The illustrations were a little scary but good and were drawn with lots of detail.

i want my hat back by jon klassen

The book is mainly about a bear who lost his hat but he doesn't know where and how to find it so he goes and asks a bunch of animals and they don't know where it is. One of them has it on but he did not reconize it. I don't like the book because it is very boring. There's no colourr or any movement in the book.  I don't like how it ends and they wasted too much paper. I don't really recommend  it.

I want my hat back, by Jon Klassen

This book is about a bear who has lost his hat. He asks alot of animals if they have seen his hat, but they haven't.
The illustrations are not very convincing, because the main character, a bear, actually looks like a giant gopher!!! I think the pictures are extremely boring, because the bear is in the same position in almost the whole book, and the pages are almost completely blank. The colours are all the same, except for one red page.

Pirates 'n' Pistols by Chris Mould

This book is about pirates. We read one story called Cross-Legged Jack which is about a cused pirate toy. He is cursed because he gives you nightmares. We liked this book because the pictures are very detailed, there also is alot of good discription.

Pussycat ,Pussycat, where have you been? by Dan Bar-el

Pussycat,pussycat,where have you been? this is a story about a pussycat that has amazing adventures around the world like London,France and the north sea. We have heard the poem pussycat,pussycat but not all the verses he has created new verses which is very cleaver.We really liked the bold colour and the imagination that the illustrator has used.We didn't like the moon as we thought it was very creepy.We recommend this book to for all ages 3-11.

Sounds of The Ferry Written by Sara Leach Illustrated by Steven Corvelo

Sounds of the Ferry 

I liked this book because of the simple rhyming text that was kind of like a poem. It describes the sounds of a ferry very well and gives you a good mental picture of the sounds. I thought the illustrations were a little unusual but showed a lot of action. Each picture tells a story. I thought they were a little unusual because the people looked a bit odd.

I think this book is a little too short and too simple to do a book review on the story but the illustrations is what told the story.
