BOOK REVIEW #13(Stories of Dinosaurs)

The Dinosaur world Wrestling Final was one week away. Kevin ‘Crusher’ Kritosaurus was fighting Mac, the masked Megalosaurus. Kevin’s trainer, Reg, kept him super fit. He did grinding practice every day. One day, a huge horned dinosaur lumbered into his gym. It was Mac’s trainer, Stig. And he left word with them “I only hope you don’t have any accidents before the fight.” Kevin and Reg looked worried. Next day, Kevin was out on his morning run, when a bridge suddenly collapsed. And the next day he had accident. The accident happened in a row. Kevin and Reg guessed Stig was to blame, but they couldn’t prove it. The day of the big fight had arrived. Mac and Kevin bounded up the steps to ring. Suddenly, Kevin tripped over his trail and he couldn’t walk. Everyone was disappointed that Kevin was out of the fight. But Mac and Stig held up him to ridicule. Then Reg was blazed up and he ran circle around Mac. So Mac felt dizzier and dizzier, he thudded to the floor in an exhausted daze.
I was very surprised at the scene that Reg defeated Mac. Reg is very tiny dinosaur, so I impressed by him. And I thought that Mac and Stig was very ill nature! I thought that everyone cheered as Reg and Kevin collected their prize money. The dinosaur is big and looks scare, but Reg and Kevin was very kind dinosaur, so I like them.

BOOK REVIEW #12 (Stories of Monsters)

Every evening it was the same story. As soon as Ben switched off his bed side light, the monster woke with snort. All through the night, the creature gurgled and growled in the shadows. Ben had never dared to look under his bed. He was too terrified of what he might see. At school, he could hardly keep his eyes open. So his teacher was shouting at him every day. He found a book which title “Book of Monster” on his way home. But there was no mention of monsters under the bed. He decided to build a monster trap. That night, his monster trap had worked. The smallest monster in the world was tangled in the net. The smallest monster started to sob and said that “I’m too small to scare anyone. That’s way I hid under your bed. I didn’t want you to see me.” Ben began to feel sorry for the monster. But he never feels fear and he never falls asleep in class again. I don’t like monster. But the smallest monster looks very cute! If that monster hid under my bed, I want to show the monster to my family and friends. And I want to put it in a pocket and go for a walk. It sounds fun. I feel fear the monster and the ghost but if they looks cute or small, I’m going to be good friends.

BOOK REVIEW #11 (Storiesof Gnomes & Goblins)

Jessy was skipping in the sun when she heard a tiny, tiny cry. When she looked down, there was a fairy, stuck in a spider’s web. She could hardly believe her eyes. Gently, she lifted the fairy from the web. The fairy was so pleased and invited her to a party which is held at Goblin Hill. Jessy’s grandmother had told her stories about Goblin Hill. Not once had Jessy imagined goblins actually lived there. A door was too small, so the fairy tapped her on the toe and the fairy worked a magic on her. The fairy opened the door and led Jessy inside. They arrived in the middle of a goblin parade. This parade was to celebrate the return of Prince Kester. He was very excited to meet Jessy. He had never seen a girl up close before. He asked the goblin choir to sing a song just for Jessy. Finally, everyone sat down to a huge picnic in the shade of a lollipop tree. But Jessy had to get back. So the king gave her beautiful flowers. Jessy ran down the tunnel and rolled out of the door, but she was still the size of a bee. But, as she stood up, Jessy shot to her usual size. She looked back at the hill. The door was nowhere to be seen. She shook her head and put her hand in her pocket. She took flowers out of her pocket which flowers were given by the king.
It was very fantasy story. I was very excited. I want to see the goblin or the fairy very much!!! And I was envious of Jessy. She could see the fairy, and she also could go to the fairy land. I want to see and go there. I like fantasy story very much. For example, “Alice In Wonderland”, “Harry Potter” and so on. It makes me fun. And I like “Tinker bell” very much. She is very cute and I think that the fairy and the goblin will very cute.

#4 Percy was the rudest, dirtiest, smelliest prince in the country. He lived all alone in his dirty old castle. He didn’t like children and animals. He had no friends, not one. He was lonely prince, so he captured a princess. But she agreed to marry the prince Harry. Harry went to Percy’s castle to save her. Then Harry’s soldiers decided Percy needed a bath. Percy became friends with them. Harry rescued the princess and married her. And Percy got friends.
I read this book, this book has four chapter so it was long. First story, I thought that Colin is so lucky guy. Almost people hate the clumsiest man, and he couldn’t pass tests, despite this he could marry!!! I don’t like the person who such like him. Second story, I was surprised that the beggar was the prince!!! It was unexpected. And I felt sorry for Prue. Third story, Sam serve her faithfully so I thought that Sam was very good guy^^ And it was funny that her father didn’t like pig and he boot out them. Fourth story, it was funny story. I’m so relieved that Percy made some friends. I thought that bath dodger get on the wrong side of everyone. I like princess and prince story very much. My favorite princess and prince story is “Little Mermaid”. It is very interesting story for me. And I like story with a happy ending.
