Wacky Wednesday – Dr Seuss

 

Rate: 8/10 Unknown-2

Genre: Picture Story Book

Age: 5-7

Summary:  Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss is a fun, colourful, rhyming picture book for kids mainly aged 5-7 years. It’s no ordinary book! There’s people with no legs, there’s a shoe on the ceiling and  if you read this book, you’ll find it’s very appealing and you’ll get that feeling that you need to read it over and over till you can’t read no more, but wait… there’s more install! Dr Seuss has a whole range of books you can read, just type them up and you will see. A library of books, on your computer screen!! That’s my review from me to you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!!!

Bennet Cerf’s book of Animal Riddles – Doctor Seuss

 

Rating: 7 / 10  Unknown

Age: 7+

Recommended forReaders that love riddles, jokes & Doctor Seuss.

SummaryAnimal Riddles by Doctor Seuss is a funny book. It has riddles about animals. You never know when you turn the page what the outcome will be. You may not get it at first as they are a little old but then you will be laughing really hard. The front cover shows 2 donkeys or some sort, joined together and looking at each other in wonder and innocence. Enjoy the book!

The Mystery of the Vanished Price – Enid Blyton

 

Rating: 8/10 Unknown-1

Recommended: Age 9-11

Genre: This book involves a lot of mystery, adventure and fantasy. But you wouldn’t find the other books as a series because the books don’t continue on and some of them ain’t even the same genre or theme.

Synopsis: This book is about two kids Bets and Pip  and how they are having a miserable holiday in Peterswood without their friends; Fatty, Larry and Daisy. But school starts in a fortnight and there is to be no sign of a mystery yet. But the disappearance of an eastern prince gives the 5 find-outers a really tough problem to solve.

I enjoyed the book because it’s fantasy and mystery and those are the types of my favourite books. I would not recommend this book to people that don’t like books with mystery and fantasy.
