Ali Writes

This is Ali and I was looking at Charlotte's blog and she wanted me to write something on it. Today Charlotte came to our house for the day. We went to lunch at the Diggers and played in the playground. When we got home we played sleeping lions and made up a show. It was lots of fun and Charlotte is going to stay the night at our house.

32. The Four Musicians of Bremen by The Brothers Grimm. I read this in Bremen but the four animals ( the donkey, the dog, the cat and the rooster) never get to Bremen. They saved a robbery from happening with their lovely sounds. I saw the statue in Bremen but it was only small. I thought it would be much bigger.
31. Tin Tin and The Black Island by Herge. I read this when we stayed in Bruges because it was written by a Belgian man in 1930. It is a comic book about a very adventurous boy called Tin Tin and his dog called Snowy who gets into lots of mischief. Snowy got drunk on whisky and got a smack from Tin Tin. There are lots of other comic books with Tin Tin adventuring around the world. I've always liked reading comics and I will definitely read another Tin Tin comic book.
30. The Burnt Stick by Anthony Hill. It is about an Aboriginal family and the boy has a white father so this boy gets taken away from his mother and the story tells how his mother tries to keep him. It was very sad but I loved reading this book.

It is about a grandma and spending her last few days with Jenny her great grandaughter and all their friends including a possom, a blue tounge lizard and the new 7 legged spider.
28. The Silver Donkey by Sonya Hartnett. I would recommend it for my next door neighbour Gwen who loves donkeys, and anyone who likes animal stories. Two sisters go to their favourite woodlands and find a soldier who ran away from the war and could get shot if any one else knew. They go back the next day and find out that he is blind. Read it if you want to know more. I would give it a 9.5 /10
27 . The Pain and the Great One by Judy Blume. It is about a sister and a brother and how their family copes.

22. The story of Robert the Bruce and The story of William Wallace both by David Ross. They were about Scottish history and had lots of gruesome killing and after we read the books we watched Braveheart the movie. So if you cant stand killing I wouldn't recommend it for you.
