London part 2

Yay, on my way to the Roald Dahl experience (The Wondercrump )
I am so excited I wonder what it will be like. What is your favorite Roald Dahl book? Please tell me your answer in the comments. Mine is either The BFG or Danny Champion of the World.

It looks amazing even though it's not started yet.
Oooh I'm so excited.

This is the end of the Wondercrump experience. This is the wall of trumps!
I won't say what happened inside as they like to keep it secret and off social media so it doesn't spoil it for other people. These are the only bits we were allowed to show.
But what I can say is... it was splendiferous!!

This is the story title creator.
If you had to make a silly story title what would it be?
Please give me your answers in the comments.

This is a beautiful looking cafe it looks very old and cosy.
What do you think of the cafe?

This is a hot chocolate shop and they sell all things chocolate. The hot chocolate comes in lots of flavours too, like cinnamon or chilli.

 It takes them ages to make it, they carve lots of shreds to go on the top - dark, milk and white choc,  and then pile them on high..
This is them shredding the chocolate

This is what it looks like when it's finished:

Mmm it was delicious but I couldn't finish it all!
What do you think of it?

This is me with some lemonade on a bench chatting with my Dad, as you do. It's a place called Neals Yard which has lots of health food places and benches for a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle.

In Covent Garden they have a lovely indian restaurant called Masala Zone.
The ceiling is full of hanging puppets from India and the food is very nice and unusual.

Please feel free to answer my questions in the comments.
Happy holidays everyone!

London part 1

I recently went on a trip to London (with my parents obviously.) 

"Are we there yet..."

At the Waldorf Astoria fancy doorway.

Everywhere was fancy, especially the ceilings.

Lovely chandelier, it was very grand.

Sneaky heelie-ing in the corridor.

Cool sweeties. I bought some, it was too tempting!

A lovely looking cupcake shop. The cakes looked delicious. It made me want to make some when I got home. Whats your favourite cupcake?

Beautiful flowers in Covent Garden which is always full of life and entertainment.

Walking around with my dad. It was very fun in London.

What is your favourite holiday? Please tell me in the comments.

The Sea Waves

THE SEA WAVES

Seas that rumble,

Waves that swirl and twist as they go along through the booming sea,

Waves that roar like big cats,

Some seas are big,

Some seas are small tickling your feet,

Seas come up and come down,

Seas that are crashing against stranded rocks,

All different shapes and sizes,

Children screaming and running away from swirling waves,

Surfers surfing through GIANT waves,
Green seaweed swimming in the waves.

Where the sidewalk ends is a wonderful poem book. I haven't even finshed it yet and I think it's amazing. I've stopped reading Harry Potter and EVEN David Walliams (my favourite) it is like my favourite book this month.

Dirty Dan is an extremely dirty man and he is lonely. So he makes friends with all the bugs that live in his hair and buzz around him.
He likes to 'joke with the bats and have intimate chats with the cooties who crawl through my hair'.
I don't think I'd like that, would you? But it's lovely that he makes them his friends.
He would like to meet a wife - one who is gentle, kind, with a sensitive mind and a beautiful face.
BUT who is almost as dirty as him! That might be tricky!

I like Shel Silverstein's poems because they are fun and sometimes are hard to work out the meanings and they are all different topics. He plays with words and sometimes it makes me want to talk backwards! sdrawkcab

He was a very talented man because he actually did all the illustrations himself as well as the writing. It must have taken a long time and been really hard work but they are fun and realistic.

His website is good for schools that are learning about his books and adults that are thinking of buying a child a book. It has animation and fun and games I think it is really cool.

Billionaire Boy book review.

I've just finished Billionaire Boy by David Walliams and I thought I might review it.
This is a picture of David Walliams:

What's the story about?
The story is about a boy called Joe Spud. He has got a secret, that he is a billionaire boy. He keeps that secret because he doesn't want to be bullied and people only like him because of his money and he is trying to get a true friend.

This is Joe Spud:

Who are the main characters?

They are Joe Spud, Lauren, Bob and Joe Spud's Dad.

Why/why not I liked the book?

I like it because it is very entertaining and interesting for school children.

I don't want to tell you my favourite, funniest bit in case it spoils it for you. But there might be a clue in the word purple! 

You can find this book in your local book stores.
