 * __ TERM 1 READING LOGS. __**

=== **Plot Summary:** This book is an awesome book about 2 children home alone and a cat in a hat comes along!! This cat is no ordinary cat! This cat is a lot of mischief. When the brother and the sister sweep all the snow away for there mother before she gets back from town! But the Cat in the Hat comes and makes lots of mischief around the home! ===

=== The children stop the Cat and make him clean up his mess around the home, so he calls up friends to help him! Though this only makes things worse, and the children start to stress out!... Until his last friend makes everything better and even helps the children clean all the snow away at the blink of an eye- and this all happened before their mother got back!! ===

=== **Personal Response:** I recommend this book to early readers, as it is an easy book to read and is sort of long, so it can test people on how fast they may be able to read! There are also other books out by Roald Dahl, he is a fantastic author and also writes chapter books as well as children's books! I thought this story was quite interesting and I used to read it all the time when I was little!! ===

=== When I read this story, I thought it was quite funny how the Cat in the Hat came and made heaps of mess, then made it worse by 'trying' to clean it up with his friends. Though his last friend had a little trick up his sleeve and was also able to finish the children's big job and it all happened in the blink of an eye!! - I'll tell you the secret, after trying the Cat in the Hats' friends, it was 'Little Cat Z' who used something called 'VOOM!!' I'm not quite sure what that is, so don't ask me! ===

===** Plot Summary: This book is about a little girl named Fern who cared for a little runt pig, she named him Wilbur. Later on her father said she must sell the pig to her Uncle. She always used to visit him on her Uncle's farm but when Wilbur moves in to the farm, a little spider named Charlotte tells him that he will be killed in the winter. Charlotte made a promise to Wilbur and said that she will not let him be killed! **===

** How this little spider does it, is amazing!! **
===** One morning the farmers go down to feed Wilbur they then notice, covered in early morning dew, they is a spider web. though this is no ordinary spider web this spider web has a very meaningful word in it, everyone came to see this amazing web including the newspapers and that the farmers think that Wilbur had done it, Charlotte was then on her way to keeping her promise to Wilbur ... Find out the rest of this story and you can find out about all the magical adventures Wilbur goes on with Charlotte and Fern! **===

===** Personal Response: This story is great though I am not such a big fan on spiders!! You may enjoy this book, __ESPECIALLY__ if you are quite fine with CREEPY CRAWLIES!! Still this book was very cool to read and it was quite interesting to read about all of these different animals! If you have seen the movie, and haven't read the book- you should really give the book a go!! For me the best part about this story is when Wilbur is trying to see who is calling to him before bed, answering his question about anyone wanting to be his friend!! It turns out that it was Charlotte the spider and that's when it all began... **===

=== ** Plot Summary: This cook book has awesome recipes- from breakfasts to lunch ideas, even a recipe for all sorts of special occasions!!! I love how this book has easy recipes and it is so that, children may be able to start to cook meals for there families! This also means that it will be good time to take your cookery abilities to the test!** ===

===** Personal Response: I really like this recipe book as I said before, it has amazing recipes and ideas for MANY occasions!! I would probably recommend this book to children who are interested in cooking and probably around the ages of 10 to13years old! **=== ===** One of my favourite recipes are Butterfly Cakes! I made them for my mother's birthday and they were delicious!! A recipe I would probably like to try is Stained-glass Christmas cookies (probably around Christmas time!) If you happen to just be starting cookery, I would suggest starting with an easy recipe like mini pizzas or something else that may be simple to make! **===

=== Plot Summary: This boook is filled with many crack-up jokes!! It has many jokes from cats to dogs, from Knock Knock Jokes to Elephant jokes! Read this book and find out what other hillerous jokes are hidden inside this awesome book!! ===

=== Personal Response: I thought these jokes were hillerous. If I were to meet __ONE__of these authors in person, I would probably find them extremly funny and entertaining! I would obviously reccommend this book to children. It's a great book to share with family and friends!! ===

=== Plot Summary: This book is about 2 children who walk the Milford Track with their grandfather. Their grandpa hands his watch to Ed (the little boy) and asks him to look after it. As they walk, Polly (the little girl) sees a trout swimming in the river below the bridge they are on. As Ed turns around to look, grandpa's watchflys out and spashes into the river. As the 2 children watch they can seee that the trout has picked up the watch and swam away with it! The children chase after the watch as it is being passed on by many different creatures! Finally at the end of the track, Ed is able to hand it back to Grandpa. To find out how Ed and Polly got the watch back, read this book!! ===

Personal Response: This book was amazing! As I read about the adventures this watch was having, I became more and more surprised!!
=== The pictures in this book are amazing, as well!! I wonder how grandpa would react when he heard about the adventure his watch has been on!! But this secret will be kept safe between Polly and Ed, //forever!!// I rated this book 5 stars!! ===

=== Personal Response: I rated this book 4 star. It was a fun book to read and I really liked the illustrations as well! Elenor Fern was the one who made this book into a picture book and published it 2 years after James K. Baxter(the author of these amazindg poems,) passed away! ===

At the end of this book it also has a page all about James K. Baxter and about his past life!!
