The Simpsons Get some fancy book lernin'

I love this comic because there are really funny versions of Shakespeare, Greek myths, Bible stories and 1001 Arabian nights, also Hans Across America . My favorite story is The Good Mother in Hans across America because it's funny when the mother literally cries her eyes out!

At the moment I am halfway through the book so I don't know what else there is but to entertain you here is the website for the Simpsons comics: http://tscs.xtreemhost.com/

If you read this you will laugh your eyes out. (Not literally, but if you try you might succeed!)

This book is so funny - please do read it!

The Simpsons comic series

The Simpsons comics have spread all around the world. There are lots and lots of them.  I have read only some of the comics but watched the TV series. Here are the characters

• Homer
• Marge
• Bart
• Lisa
• Grandpa Simpson
• Grandma Simpson
• Moe
• Barney
• Lenny
• Carl
• Mr burns
• Smithers
• Dr Hibbert
• Krusty the clown 

(There are more but this list would carry on forever!) 

My favorite characters are Homer and Bart. I love them because Bart is always being cool and skate boarding. And I like Homer because he is always on his hammock and drinking beer at Moe's. Soon I want to learn the saxophone because I got inspired by Lisa. On the Ipod and Iphone and all other gadgets there is an app called Tapped out. I have it and it is really good.  Here is a link http://www.thesimpsons.com/

I recommend these comics for age seven plus.  

Mythological Creatures

After meeting various mythological creatures in the book Odysseus, we created some of them ourselves. Have a look through our book (click on the image to expand the book, and then on the arrows to turn the pages. Click Escape to minimise it again):

Dork Diaries: Party Time

Let me introduce you to a total Dork her name is Nikki Maxwell she has a worst enemy a crush and two best friends. I would recommend this book for Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans because this book is kind of like it but with a girl I also recommend to read the first one before you read the rest.



At the moment the schools Halloween dance is coming up and Nikki is trying to find someone to dance with when it starts. Luckily Nikki has a Crush called Brandon. Nikki also has an enemy called Mackenzie she is really bossy and tells fibs like that she has 1000000m Euros (bet you she doesn't)!!   
 

   







  

Secret Seven

Let me introduce you to the Secret Seven. There are three girls and four boys (five because of Scamper the dog). At the moment in the book it is just a bit after Christmas. This is their first meeting in a long time.Today when I was reading they found there first mystery for a longtime.
The gang have discovered from Jack that at the house they found near Peter and Pam's house its an really old man living at the house he does not like kids or dogs including Scamper the spaniel.Jack found the mystery when he was looking for his badge in the night suddenly he saw a car with some kind of trailer attached to it with something in it. As in the picture above Jack has to hide behind a bush so he does not get in to trouble. The next morning the gang already is trying to slove this problem.
