The Magic School Bus/Gets Cold Feet


This book is about a pet lizard called Liz and she goes missing. Everyone looks all over the class room and they find some clues in the room. The first clue is a ripped page
from a magazine and the second clue was a packing list. They set off to find her. They came to a big bullring called Herp Haven. Then they saw a lady with a big tortoise the lady said, ' I want this tortoise stuffed and toasted.'' The class could not believe their ears. They turned the magic school bus into a, alligator so they could get through the gates because you need a pet to get in but one person stayed out to walk the crocodile to the door. Then the man took the alligator from Phoebe. But Phoebe said, ''I want to came with her.'' But the man said, ''no.' Then he took the busgator and put it in a habitat. The children in the bus were going to get out but Mrs Frizzle said, ''You can go out there because you will get eaten by the other animals. '' Ms Frizzle pulled some levers and the class was out by a wink but they weren't normal children they were reptiles. They search high and low in warm and cold places until they found her in a very cold place. Everyone started to feel very sleepy until Phoebe came to the rescue. She took the kids out of the cold place and put them in a warm so that they woke up. Then they hopped into the bus and went.
The man said, ''wait you forgot Liz's habitat '' He was not going to kill Liz after all. That was good.


This book is written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen. I give this book a 10 /10 because it has lots of interesting facts and it is very funny.

The Magic Shoes


This book is about four children at an athletics competition. Jade has some shoes that they all think are magic.  Everyone keeps on asking to wear her shoes but Krystal and Jason have long jump and high jump at the same time so Jade said ''why don't you have one shoe each?'' and it worked. But another problem was that it was time for the relay race. What are they going to do? 
 Mr Flores said, "It was not the shoes doing all the running, it was you. You don't need the shoes."   That made them more confident and they won.

I give this book an 8 and a half and I recommend that you read this book because it is quite interesting.
