Three Scary Stories by Chris Riddell
This book is about 'scary stories'the first story is about a small spider that becomes enormous and its spider web catches more than flies...
The second story is about a gift from your granny you nerver want to get...
The third story is about a wish that goes terribly wrong ...
I enjoyed this book because it was scary and mysterious.

Fast Creatures
Animal Mania
This book is about all the fast creatures in the world from snails to cheetahs.I really enjoyed this book as i learned lots about animals.
The most ineresting fact in this book i would say is about the Snail. The Garden snail can reach speeds of up to 50m an hour.
I would recommend this book to people who like animals and their speeds.
I would rate this ****stars

(**) 2 stars
the book i have just read is top gear the annual.
it tells u about cars & events that happened on top gear. It is really good i would give it 5.
The book I chose to read about was "Out Of My Depth" by Helen Bailey. I thought this book was very confusing. I did not understand much of it. The first page was hilarious, Electra Browns explains that her dad has man boobs and they have grown. Even know the book was hard to understand i enjoyed reading it and it was very funny. Electra is a very sarcastic person as you heard from her dad has man boobs and she says he has grown to a cup size of about a 44C. Her dad has became angry and is examining Electra about her mums love life and she says its of garlic bread and pizza. I enjoyed this book once i haad read it a few times and understood it.
(***) 3 stars.
