BR03: A Rat for Mouse

‘After that, Mouse’s rat went everywhere with him. He shared Mouse’s meals.’

This book was too difficult for me to write a book review, but I have to write it, so I’ll tell my impression. First, Mouse is main character in this book. His sister is Jojo, she had a hamster, Jumbo. Everyone thought he was sweet and funny, but Mouse was very keen on him. Mouse wanted another pet, so they went to ask their mum. The next day, Mouse and Mr. Macdonald took Mouse to the pet shop, and Mr. Macdonald thought Mouse would choose another rabbit. But Mouse did not want another rabbit, he nothing seemed quite right. But then Mouse saw the rat, he cried ‘This is what I want!’ The shopkeeper said ‘That rats made very good pets, they were clean and clever. A rat was a one-person pet, he would love his owner and never hurt him, but he would probably not let other people pick him up’. After they chose a cage, they got home, and Mouse was very excited. As soon as he got home, he let to watch the rat. When mum saw it, her mouth fell open. Mouse called his rat Ricky. Third, he had to be very brave, because sometimes Ricky opened his mouth and put his teeth round Mouse’s finger. His teeth were long and yellow. I thought the shopkeeper was a liar in the time! Ricky went everywhere with him, they were like closed friends. One day, happened a problem. When the friends were watching television, Ricky took Ben’s biscuit. Without thinking, Ben made a grab for him. Then the rat spun round and bit Ben’s finger, Ben let out a yell. Mrs. Macdonald made said, ‘Perhaps a rat isn’t a good pet after all.’ Mouse was angry; he said ‘Ben should not have grabbed him like that.’ Ben agreed, and said ‘I just forget.’ After that, no one forgot again, everyone was a bit scared of Mouse’ rat, and they thought he was fierce and dangerous. But Mouse adored him. I thought this story was ironic. This book was too difficult for me to understand the content, but this book was interesting for me.

BR02: The Secret Room

‘Mum went into the secret room. She found a little house.’

I’ll write my book review. First, parents bought the new house, and they liked it. They cleaned the house, they also helped them. Mum put wallpaper on the wall, and dad painted a door. Next, dad looked at Biffs ‘room and she wanted new wallpaper, so they went to the wallpaper shop. Second, mum and dad and Biff and Chip pulled the wallpaper off, and Biff found a door it was stuck. And open the door, and found a room, everyone looked inside. Mum went into the secret room, and she found a little house. It looked like their house. When looked inside, it looked their house inside, and a little dog looked like their dog, and three little children looked like them too. I thought these were not casual! This book was too easy for me to read, but it was interesting for me.
