In this book weirdo and his family are trying to sell stuff in a garage sale. His dad is really funny in this book and he made pants with three legs. There is lots of cool pictures and I really enjoyed reading it.

Kids’ Club Review by Zak: Extra weird!
Extra weird!, by Anh Do
This is my favorite book in the weirdo series so far. For some reason Weirdo is scared of ladybugs which is funny. His grandpa says he has really good ears and that he can hear a spider juggling. It was awesome, I loved it.

Kids’ Club Review by Kimberley: Saffron, so quite excellent
Saffron, so quite excellent, by Victoria M. Azaro
Saffron’s mum sang in a very high pitch voice and she played the piano. She liked to do some very strange singing exercise every morning. Star Anise liked to sleep in the day and play at night. That’s why Saffron’s mum kept yarning and yarning. Saffron tried to help her but that got even worse. They went to the airport to collect their dad. The police had come and asked what’s wrong. Sage said mum had abandoned us. And then they ran away from the police and they yelled. They cried people people help. They ran and ran and ran.

Kids’ Club Review by Carson: Three little pigs
Three little pigs, by Pam Holden
Good. The wolf was trying to eat the pigs, but the book didn’t have that many words. I though the wolf was going to say more things to the pigs. The book taught about different alphabets.

Kids’ Club Review by Carson: A summery Saturday morning
A summery Saturday morning, by Margaret Mahy
This book talks about dogs chasing geese. There was a fat goose and six babies. The dogs chased the geese and the geese chased the dogs back. If you don’t want the geese to follow you, you should not disturb them. Like when someone’s doing silent reading, you should not scream at him. You just have to leave them in peace.

Kids’ Club Review by Carson: Hairy Maclary, sit
Hairy Maclary, sit, by Lynley Dodd
This book is so good. When the dogs were sitting down, Hairy Maclary run away and other dogs followed. At the end, all the dogs ran away and all tied in a knot. They were running and then splat in the pool.

Kids’ Club Review by Connor: Dirty Bertie : loo!
Dirty Bertie : loo!, by Alan MacDonald (1958-)
I liked how Dirty Bertie still managed to go to the toilet and make the school trip, because if he’d waited in line he’d have missed the bus! It was funny. There are also two other stories in this book.

A day at the animal post office, by Sharon Rentta
I love this author and this books series. My favourite charachter is Tyson the Bison…in this book he sends a spanner to the North Pole! He makes me laugh. Funny books with good pictures….I can’t find who is the illustrator. A good fun read for me and for my mum and dad to read to me.
