Presents for our Library
There was lots of excitement in this week's class session as the children helped me unwrap some of our new books.
The children had to guess what book was in the parcel.
Clue: "I wish I had better parents!"
Book:
'The Parent Agency' by David Baddiel
Barry has always hated being called Barry. In fact, its number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1. 'being boring' and 3. 'always being tired'. But then one day Barry makes a fateful wish, and finds himself in a world where everything is Upside Down.
Happy Reading!
The children helped me to unwrap more books.
Clue: "Unlike broccoli this book is good"
The children had lots of fun trying to guess the title. They used every possible adjective (amazing, astonishing, extraordinary, marvellous, stunning, incredible) before they came to 'astounding'.
Then one lucky child got to borrow the book from the library.
Book:
'The Astounding Broccoli Boy' by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Rory Rooney likes to be prepared for all eventualities. But Rory isn't prepared when he suddenly and inexplicably turns green.
Stuck in an isolation ward in a hospital far from home with two other remarkably green children, Rory's as confused by his new condition as the medics seem to be.
But what if it's not in their genes, or a virus, or something they ate? What if turning green actually means you've turned into a superhero?
Hilarious!
