Horrible Histories Cruel Kings and Mean Queens

The book
I love this book because I am interested in kings taking over the thrown. Charles II is my favourite. He invented partying. He loved it so much he had one almost every day. The book is funny and factual at the same time.

Terry Deary hated history though, so he wrote horrible histories for his revenge. They also tell us about the most horrible deaths, horrible funerals and you can see in Scotland i don't know where but you see a castle with ghosts that are the king and queens ghosts. One of the kings died by a medicine to cure his cough. Some kings are absolutely disgusting like James I who kept picking his nose. Really funny. Go and see his Website.

Never use a knife and fork

I love this picture book because it has lots of rhyming and poetry. It gets a lot better through the book. This is my favorite part in the book. It has really good picture and funny sentences, like Leave spaghetti in your hair keep crisps in your underwear! Nick Sharrat does a lot of bright colour to make his pictures stand out. I love Neil Goddard's grammar. This one of my favorite picture books so far. Nick Sharrat has astonishing coulour and pictures. Neil Goddard has lots of ryming in his writing. Nick Sharrat is really easy to find in books beacause his drawings are always the same.

The Muppets treasure island

I like all the Muppets in films and books. But this is the best Muppets film so far. Its about Kermit the frog, Miss Piggy and all the other Muppets characters trying to find buried treasure. Its a fantastic film. To me it just looks really funny and adventurous at the same time. My favourite part is when they find the buried treasure. It is funny in so many ways. I recomend this film 10/10 rating. The film is based on the book treasure island written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The book was made a long long time ago in 1883



This is the trailer

Gangsta Granny

Ben has a big problem: his granny is a gangsta! (not a gangster) But of course Ben doesn't know. He thinks his granny is a kind of a textbook granny: she loves cabbage, she plays Scrabble and she always has a scrunched up tissue in her cardigan. But this granny has an enemy. There's a spy called Mr Parker. He thinks that shes breaking the law. So Ben's granny lies to him all about the gangtsa thing to keep him away from Mr Parker. Ben is a moderate boy and he hates dancing because of his Mum and his Dad. Every Friday his Mum and Dad leave Ben round his granny's house beacause they either watch Strictly Stars Dancing or go ballroom dancing. Even if he doesn't like his granny he still has to go. Ben's dream is to become a plumber. If theres a broken pipe he will fix it. When he goes round his granny's house he buys this comic called plumbing weekly.
If you want to know all about him check his website http://www.davidwalliamsnews.com/

Beowulf and the Monster



Beowulf is of course the hero of the story. But Beowulf faces up against a mysterious monster in the great forest. There is only one way to kill him and that is to trick him. This terrifying monster is called Grendal. Grendal can use his claws and teeth to catch humans. Humans have the most taste. If this monster drinks your blood he will think it tastes like blueberries. Would Beowulf save the whole town?

I like this story beacause I like the sound of the book. I always tried to read a Beowulf.

Tintin volume 1

Tintin is a reporter in Belguim, but he has something going on with his life. He gets in trouble, he gets tied up and he is in a gunline. However, his companion, Snowy the dog knows what to do. Snowy has a mind like an intelligent man. Without him Tintin would be done for. He always goes around the world just to write something for the newpaper. Anyone who thinks about reading Tintin, I recomend it even if you dont like adventure books and mystery books. I love this book beacause i'ts funny and it's a adventure book.

Scopia Rising



Scorpia Rising is a series book called Alex Rider, I read a few and I thought they were great. Anthony Horowitz wrote the book very well and I couldn't deny reading it. I love the grammar in it and the adventure. This is Alex's final mission and its deadly. His mission is to take down the company Scorpia, but when Scorpia are gaining power Alex has to figure out how to take them down. How is he going to do it?

The adventures of SUPER DIAPER BABY

The adventures of SUPER DIAPER BABY is a humourous story, it's the same make and author of Captain Underpants. It's about a baby who drinks power juice, which makes him a 1 month old super hero. Super diaper baby can only save the world, but how is he going to do it? The evil villain is captain doo doo who has captured captain underpants! I think its a fantastic story and really funny because it is outrageously silly and it is especially wrote for children who like humour books, like myself.
