Rumpelstiltskin
By the Brothers Grimm
This book is about a girl whose dad
boasts that she can spin straw into gold
(but she can’t really). I liked the way
the pictures were drawn. My favourite
character was Rumpelstiltskin because
of the way he dressed and danced
around. This book is for younger readers
who enjoy fairy tales.
Amya, age 5.
Amya enjoys chess,
swimming and learning
Mandarin. She’s reviewed
two books by Roald Dahl.
Matilda
This story is all about a little girl called
Matilda. Matilda loved to read books and
learn. She lived with her parents who
didn’t like her reading and thought she
was odd. Matilda was sent to school,
where she met Miss Honey who showed
her lots of kindness and love, but she also
met Miss Trunchball, who was mean.
The story was about Matilda’s special powers
and all the fun she had with Miss Honey.
All the characters were lovely, apart
from her parents and Miss Trunchball.
My favourite character was Miss Honey
because she is nice when she teaches the
children and not strict. She really cares for
all the children she teaches.
This book is good to read as it can help
children understand being lonely. I would
recommend this book to be read by every
child in the world.
