Kaspar the prince of cats

This fascinating book is called Kaspar Prince of Cats and the good thing about this book is anyone who want's to know about the Titanic I will suggest this book for you because in one part of the book it includes the Titanic. As you can see on the book cover, there is the Titanc sinking. Let me tell you a bit about the story. Kaspar the cat first came to the Savoy Hotel in a basket – Johnny Trott knows, because he was the one who carried him in. Johnny was a bell-boy, and he worked to the Savoy Hotel. He carried all of Countess Kandinsky’s things to her room. Countess Kandinsky was an opera singer she had a concert in London so she came to London and lived in the Savoy Hotel. So she stayed in the Hotel for three months. Johnny Trott never had a mother, a brother or a sister or a father. Johnny Trott often used to imagine what his mother would look like.

One day when Countess Kandansky asked Johnny Trott if he could take care of Kaspar while she was performing her opera it was 75% of the time Johnny Trott would take care of Kaspar so, he had to agree. Looking at the kindness 0f Mrs. Kandinsky, he wished his mum looked like that. When Johnny Trott was going downstairs Mrs.Kandinsky said he was a kind and he did not even ask for money so, she said that she will pay £11 a week.

The Butterfly Lion, By Michael Morpurgo


I have recently read this book in class, it is a very good one my very first book I read by the author Micheal Morpurgo. There are two mane characters one is a lion and one is a boy. The lion is named "The White Prince" by this frenchman who owns a circus in France, (where I am living now). The boy is named "Bertie" who lives in Africa with know brothers and sisters, he was a very lonley boy until one day the Butterfly lion came and lived with him. It has a very happy ending, I always like them.

The Nine Lives of Montezuma



I'm loving this book. In this book a family cat leaves but has three kittens just before she does and Mathew's dad finds two and drowns them but one survived. About two weeks later Mathew finds the last kitten, they kept him and named him Montezuma. That was his first life gone. I can't tell you any more or it would spoil the ending for you.
