Pants on Fire

Pants on fire is about a boy called Tony who gets really unusual super cool undies from his grandma.  When Tony gets his pants in the mail he absolutely loves them!  They were orange with black dots.  Tony wanted to show them off at school.  When Tony went school everyone crowded him. Tony friends were saying that they wanted to borrow his pants. When tony went into class the teacher asked him why he was wearing just his undies into school and he said that he didn't have any other pants. Then heaps of terrifying sparks came flying out of his pants. Just then the teacher had a blank face and then the teacher said oh I'm sorry for asking you then they went back to their work.
The next day when they were doing their work Tony said he was allergic to paper so he didn't have to do his work. Then sparks came flying out of Tony's pants and the teachers face was blank. Just then the teacher came running up to Tony and said, " I'm so sorry ill ring someone and see if they can help". Then the teacher came back and said, " They said they wont be able to help so I guess we wont do any work'. Tony was really happy. His pants must hypnotize people when they lie!

The next day when Tony went to school it was p.e Tony said another lie to get of p.e and his pants caught on fire! he ran behind a tree and pulled his pants off, then all the class saw his pants on the ground!

Just then the pants started chasing him! Tony ran really fast then his friends ran after Tony. Tony and his friends had an idea, They would lie to the pants so they would explode! So Tony and his friends lied to the terrifying pants and the pants made a huge bang noise and then all they saw was ashes. Then the teacher came and saw Tony with no pants on and gave him a jacket to tie around him. Tony said he would never lie again.

Real Keen Baked Bean

         Reel Keen Baked Bean
This book is filled with poems, chants and jokes that will make you laugh.

One of the poems in this book goes like this, Hey diddle diddle the cat did a piddle behind the kitchen door. The little dog laughed to see such fun, so the cat did a little bit more.

This book has lots of silly jokes.  Another one of them is roses are red, cabbages are green, you've got a figure like a washing machine.

The Mermaid's Tail

The Mermaids Tail

Crystal wants to be a mermaid.   She tries everything she can think of doing, to be a mermaid. She swung her legs under the table.  Then she walked in tiny steps when she got down from the table.  Whenever Crystal goes to bed she says I wish I was a mermaid.   One night her mum made her a mermaid's tail.  Crystal wore it everywhere.  She wore it shopping, she wore it to the beach, she wore it in the bath and she went to school with it on.  She went everywhere with it on.  Crystal really wanted to wear it to bed but it always seemed to be wet.  One night Crystal didn't have time to have a bath,  so she went to bed and her mermaid's tail wasn't wet.   She thought her parents wouldn't mind if she wore it to bed so she did.    Crystal woke up hearing a eeeee sound.  She found out it was a dolphin tapping on her window.  Finally she said, "I'm a mermaid."  She swam outside and played with the dolphins and swam around playing with all the fish.   And then she realised that if she stayed a mermaid forever she would miss her parents too much.  So she swam up up up and then she found herself in her bed.  She woke up and walked into the kitchen and her parents said, " where is your mermaid's tail?"
"Oh," said Crystal, "I want to be a bumble bee."

I think this book was really good. I give it an eight out of ten.
