This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Sep 02, Nick Park rated it really liked it. This book is highly recommended for all children aged between 7 and 9 who are confident readers. It will have everyone in hysterics all the way along. The illustrations by Shoo Rayner will have everybody laughing as every animal seems to have a different facial expression on every page.
I particularly found the picture of Diana the silly sheep and the hounds cramming through the gate extremely amusing. There This book is highly recommended for all children aged between 7 and 9 who are confident readers. There are two short stories in this book and they are set on Mudpuddle Farm. You will get to find out about all the characters that live there as well. The farm suddenly becomes infested with mice and Farmer Rafferty feels that Mossop is not doing his job properly so gives him an ultimatum where he has to catch 26 mice within a certain time or he has to go.
Mossop searches high and low to no avail so all the other animals join together to help him out indicating that this is a story about friendship and team work as well as solving problems.
The second story centres on Albertine, the clever goose, who lives on an island in the middle of the pond. A hunt is nearing Mudpuddle Farm so all the animals stay safe in their habitats, well out of the way of danger, keeping themselves safe as they are afraid of the nasty fox who is on the rampage searching for any of the farm animals to take home to his family for supper. Apart from Albertine, who sits perched in her usual spot and treats the day like any other one. The book is set out using a comic strip format where all the animals talk to each other with the use of speech bubbles and would support literacy work.
It would also be ideal for the lower level achievers as it is easy to read which will help when learning how to structure sentences.
Cockadoodle-Doo, Mr Sultana! by Michael Morpurgo - www.newyorkethnicfood.com book review
If I had to give this book a rating I would reward it with a star rating of 4 out of 5 as it was a book that made me laugh from beginning to end. Michael Morpurgo's telling of a story set in possibly Turkey or Iran, this is a lovely traditional tale with plenty of repeating language, humour and classic good vs evil, rags to riches elements to it. I like Morpurgo's writing style here and think he captures the essence of what makes fairy tales so memorable. He doesn't waste time on description or characterisation and makes it clear that those who are wealth sit fat on their greed whereas those who are good shall be rewarded.
What makes this Michael Morpurgo's telling of a story set in possibly Turkey or Iran, this is a lovely traditional tale with plenty of repeating language, humour and classic good vs evil, rags to riches elements to it. What makes this a slightly more interesting tale to others is that the hero is a rooster rather than a human. I think this twist will be appealing to the child reader and they will also enjoy the idea of the huge Sultan getting his comeuppance.
