It’s funny when the sharks ate Terry’s underpants - Seb 6

I chose this book because I want to travel to New York one day and this story makes me feel like I’m there. I enjoyed connecting to the main character because she is very curious, loyal, kind and helpful to all her friends and family. I recommend this book if you like to discover new places and dream of living there - Nevaeh 11

I LOVE the silly characters and it is really funny when they try to stop an alien invasion - Cormac 10

Recommended by Kid Librarian - Luna 8

This book is very exciting and there’s a lot of unexpected things happening in it. The Famous Five run away to Kirrin Island and there’s some very exciting smuggling happening there. My favourite character is Timothy the dog and he always makes me laugh when he does something silly - Luna 8

This book has the best magic out of all the books I have ever read in my whole life. I want to visit all the lands one day - Ernie 5

I like it so much I think because it has dogs in it - Tiye 3

I love all the Hairy Maclary books and this one is my favourite. I love how Hairy Maclary chases the cat - GG 3

I like it because he builds stuff - Tiye 3

I love Iggy Peck because the drawings are very detailed and I wish I could build fancy buildings too. Also my sibling is Iggy so that’s a bit special - Ernie 5

This is a great comic book series. The aligators are InvestiGators and the villain used to be a plumber with a pipe snake. Read InvestiGators 2 and 3 to see what happens - Arlo 8

This is another comic book, it’s cute. About construction worker cats and they are making their own house. Maybe they will live in it - Arlo 8

An exciting tale about kids living a post-apocalyptic dream. It has characters that are easy to relate to and a great plot - Oscar 12

There weren’t many pictures but it was still good. I liked the idea of a never ending pudding - Tate 7

Construction and music are my favourite things so of course I love this book - Ernie 5

It’s awesome. You should read it. The characters are really engaging and I wish I could meet then in real life! I like also how the main character isn’t “the chosen one” and magic is stronger when you share it - Emilia Juno 12

January 2025 Kid Librarian purchase request - Ethan 12

A really good book for action lovers and people (like me) who enjoy a good plotline. There are a few violent scenes so for kids 10+ I’d say - Oscar 12

Detect along with Daisy and Hazel as they solve the murder of an heir - Ethan 12

She is hunted by the smoke and shadow. It is very exciting and she discovers that she has magic powers - Cormac 10

Great! Now I’ve overcome my fear of spiders! - Seb 6

I really liked this book because the characters have to work together even if they don’t get along. The author gives a lot of description and sometimes it can be scary but I still think it’s great. This book is the first one of the series. They’re all fantastic stories about adventure and mystery not to be missed! - Nevaeh 11

I like it so much because there is a cheeky monster who hides - Tiye 3

This book is about a guy called Brain who wants everyone to smell his foot. I like how when Chick says “Hello” to Brain, he says “Yeah I know, I’m Brain.” I really recommend this book to others because it is really, really, really funny - Luna 8

I like this book because of all the pictures of the food and I love food! - GG 3

A book about the same street and how it changes over thousands of years - Tessa 9

This is the third book in the Tea Dragon series. I love the cute illustrations in this book, especially the flowers. I like how cute the Tea Dragons are, my favourite is Chamomile. The Rooibos Tea Dragon is always following the chickens. When you take care of them they sprout little flowers or leaves - Luna 8

So many people in this book from the 1800’s to 2000’s - Tessa 9
