I loved how this book took us from a dark place with the colours to a more colourful life at the end when the women were free. I would rate this book 5/5

I liked this book and it made me feel like people who have dyslexia how they can’t read and how they might feel when they read. I would have like more colour in the picture. I rate this book ⅘.

I like the book but I feel like the colour was a bit dull and there wasn’t much adventure but I liked how the author expressed how she felt in the book and how it made her happy to write the book. I liked how she made pictures out of letters. I rate this book ⅗

I found this book very interesting because it made me think what other people have to deal with on day to day life and made me feel how lucky I am. I loved the illustrations and I particularly loved the page where the character puts the 2 B’s together and makes something new and creative. I loved the cover of the book because it was so vibrant, but I think in the actual book there should have been more colour and detail. I rate this book ⅘

The Playdate
I think the pictures were interesting as they put the story across in an abstract way. It was a nice example of show not tell.

The Playdate
I think this book was quite intense because I felt like you couldn’t stop reading it until you got to the end but I did find the end disturbing because it didn’t tell us what happened with the robot. I liked how the pictures showed the mum cleaning and it wasn’t a proper playdate. I rate this book ⅗

The Playdate
I really liked the book and when you’re reading it, it makes you not want to stop. The story was really interesting. It was nice that when the mum was working the children were having a playdate but I think at the end of the book it should tell us a bit more so we can see what happens about the robot and the mum taking it back and what Henry said about it. I think the pictures were good at explaining the book in a different way to the words. I liked how we could use the pictures for visual guidance. I rate this book 5/5

Margaux

The Playdate
I found the book a little bit disturbing because it made me feel very sorry for the girl and her mum because it made me realise that there are people in this world who don’t have very much. I think the ending was abrupt and I would have liked to see what happens with the girl, Henry and the robot. I think the illustrations were very beautiful but I think there should have been a bit more colour and detail. I rate this book 3/5
