Bob Docherty

We were lucky to have Bob Docherty visit us as part of book week. He was brilliant. Bob enthralled us with his reviews. There were queues next day to get out the books he spoke about.

Most common words today are - "Have you got that book Bob talked about, you know the one about...."

Wonderful. Thanks Bob

You can read some of Bob's other book reviews on his blog.

Kiss Kiss Yuck Yuck - Book Review by Lucy R17

This story is about a boy that hates seeing his Aunty. She is called Aunty Elsie. All the time Andy tries to run away but Aunty Elsie is too quick and Andy is too slow and Aunty Elsie just puts her arms around Andy and kiss on the left cheek and kiss on the right cheek.

“Yuck yuck,” said Andy and they all came the same. Andy just squeezes his eyes and tries to get out but he can’t.

Tom and Jerry

The story “Tom and Jerry” is based on a mouse and a cat and a very funny story. Jerry (the mouse) is running away from Tom (the cat) and pulling pranks on Tom. Tom tries to chase Jerry. I like it because it is so funny and so childish.

Then Bender goes to do missions same as Fry did. Professor only does make things. Then one hour later Leila is a cyclops (that means 1 eye) so she fight the temple of doom.

This story is about a wimpy kid’s diary. He gets told off a lot. It’s really funny. My favourite part was when his friend Raly said “if your hand is smaller than your face you’re dum” So he looked, SMACK he hit himself.
