Children's Recommendations
Reception
Primrose – Zak – Children’s Illustrated Animal Atlas by DK – I like this book because it has so many animals. This book makes me want to go on holiday because the animals are on different continents and I want to go there and see them. It has my favourite animal in it, the Komodo Dragon.
Daffodil – Joyce – Olaf’s Night Before Christmas by Disney – I like it when Santa gives Olaf a warm hug. When Santa comes out of the chimney Olaf is happy. Olaf uses an icicle instead of a telescope.
Bluebell – Ezra – Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers – I love penguins who live in the South Pole. I love the cuddles and the hugs. I like when the boy realised the penguin was not lost, he was lonely.
Snowdrop – Nailah – Super Sid the Silly Sausage Dog by Sam Lloyd –I like the dog because he looks like a sausage and his nose is like a ball. He can do handstands and he can fly. He howls at the moon and I like the noise. I like it when he jumps over the bridge.
Year 1
Willow – Ben – Little Feminist by Emily Kleinman and Lydia Ortiz – It is a book I can read. I like the colours. It has things about history.
Elm – Kelvin – Stuck by Oliver Jeffers - t is funny and it makes me laugh. Lots of things get stuck in a tree. It is silly! Fire trucks don’t go in trees.
Oak – Sophia – Pups Save Ryder’s Robot by Parragon Books Ltd – I like the story because it had Sky in it. I like Ryder making his robot. I like Mayor Goodway’s tulips.
Year 2
Sparrow – Damir – Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl – Fantastic Mr Fox lives under a tree and he wants to steal the farmer’s food. They set up a plan to catch him! I like Fantastic Mr Fox because he is very sneaky and he escapes from the farmer’s plans lots of times. Year 2 will love this book because it is fascinating and fun to read.
Owl – Theo – The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch by Tom Fletcher – I like this book because it is mysterious. My favourite character is Christmasaurus. You should read this book if you like to be surprised.
Robin – Kayla Mai – Paddington Marches On by Michael Bond – I love this book because Paddington does silly things to Mr curry. My favourite character is Paddington because he is funny. You should read this book if you want to learn from your mistakes and have fun!
Woodpecker – Ty – Claude Lights! Camera! Action! By Alex T Smith – It is about going to the gym. After the book you can watch the movies. If you like dogs, you should read this book.
Year 3
Apache - Benjamin - Slugs and Snails by Theresa Greenaway - It has lots of fun facts and pictures. It teaches you things you would never ordinarily know about these creatures.
Year 4
Heracles - Amena-Santi - Dog Man by Dav Pilkey 'The creator of Captain Underpants'
This book is about a Cop and a dog, I liked it because it is quite funny and if you go to certain pages there are pictures that look like they are moving. I would recommend this book!
Year 5
Ra - Sam - The Legend of Podkin One-Ear by Kieran Larwood. I like the book because it has a great storyline - it has action and is fantasy but it does not have much magic. Podkin is my favourite character as his development throughout the story is very admirable. I think this book is suitable for children ages 9-15 who are interested in mythical stories.
Year 6
Lancasters - Ved - Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. The story gives an in-depth view of humans from a different viewpoint, the viewpoint of a horse. This book is set in an earlier period of time. The story makes us think about the way we treat and see horses as it shows cruelty to animals which used to be carried out on horses. This violates our Global Goal number 15, as this goal focuses on preserving life on land, however, as we read on in this book some of the horses are mistreated. I recommend this book to Year 5 children as we all have read this book in our reading lessons, and really enjoyed it.
