The Dyer's Dog

This review comes from Aleigha. The book is called 'The Dyer's Dog' and it is an E book written by Edith Nesbit. Here is Aleigha's review:

My book was about a dog called Bessie, she was purple at first then she started to dye her body different colours like blue, green and orange. Before, she was living in a bakery but then she moved.

Her father was in competition and her mother liked dressing up in different colours just like Bessie.

Bessie had a friend who came to see her every day and they talked about the weather and the colours of the other dogs in the street.

In the end Bessie got tired of talking about the colour of her clothes so she decided to stay in one dress all the time.

What I liked about this story is that Bessie always had on a different colour dress.

I don't think I would read this book again but I would recommend it to others.

Thank you for reading my review.

Zaynab and Zakariya

This review comes from Aadam. The book is called 'Zaynab and Zakariya learn to recycle' and is written by Fehmida Ibrahim Shah. Here is Aadam's review:

I have read this book before and I enjoy reading it. 

The book is about Zaynab and Zakariya. 

Zakariya was going to throw some paper in the bin but Zaynab who is his elder sister stopped him, telling him ''You can't throw that away" and then Zakariya said "Why ever not, its only old pieces of paper" then Zaynab taught her brother all about recycling. 

They made a compost bin out of all stuff they collected from around the house and they put in lots of things including old carrot and potato peels. Then their dad came home and they told him all about the recycling adventure they had that day. 

Zaynab and Zakariyas mum and dad were so pleased with them that they took them to a butterfly surgery and one landed on Zaynabs finger. They said it was an amazing planet that Allaah has Created. 

I will read this book again inshaaAllaah as I like it very much. 

Thank you for reading my review.

Aisha goes in search of colour

This review comes from Laila. The book is called 'Aisha goes in search of colour' and is written by Lisa Jane Dhar. Here is Laila's review:

I have read this book a few times before today and I think it is a great book about a place in Nectarland which is just North of Fiji. Bubblesville is the place where Aisha lives. 

Aisha is the most colourful butterfly EVER in bubblesville but she wasn't always that way. When Aisha was born she didn't have any colour at all. 

Aisha only got her colour after drinking nectar from a very special flower and after doing good deeds she got more and more colour until there was not a single scale without colour.

It is a very good book to read so you should read it too!

Thank you for reading my review.

The Tiara Club

This review comes from Ayah. The book is called 'The Tiara Club at Emerald Castle' and is by Vivian French. Here is Ayah's review:

I read a book called The tiara club and it was about a princess called Amelia and she went to a castle called emerald castle.

The thing I liked about this book is when they went to a swimming lesson with queen Molly their teacher. But at the swimming lesson the teacher told them not to go beyond a rock and they disobeyed her, but when they got back to the school they had to go to the office and the teacher was happy with them in the end when they told the truth.

There wasn't anything I disliked about the book.

A Home For Fuzzy

This review comes from Laila. The book is called 'A Home For Fuzzy' and it is from the Eemaan Reading Series. Here is Laila's review:

I read a nice book called A home for Fuzzy. It is about three children who find a kitten under a bush and they take care of it. They take it to their garage to look after it. They decide to name the kitten Fuzzy.
Then it starts to rain and the garage roof leaks and they go to see if it was leaking above where they had kept Fuzzy, but before they got to Fuzzy their father came and asked them if they were looking for a fur ball that meows. Then when they got inside they saw Fuzzy curled up safely in the shoe box they had left him in.
They wanted to keep Fuzzy, but would their father and mother let them?

Well you have to read the book yourselves to find out what happened, I don't want to spoil the end for you.

This is a very good book to read and it teaches you to be kind to animals. So if you find a lost animal you should do the same and take good care of it.

I love this book so much and it is one of my favourite books.

I found a lost kitten in my garden yesterday and I done exactly what the book taught me and I looked after him until we found his mummy.

This book is aged for readers 7+

Thank you for reading my review.

Sleeping and Waking Up

This review comes from Aadam. The book is called Sleeping and Waking Up from the 'Learn About' series published by darulkitab, here is Aadam's review:

This book tells us how we should go to sleep and wake up. I like this book because I learnt a really good fact, which is Shaytaan ties three knots on our head and recites on each one for us to stay asleep, I think this is because he does not want us to wake up and pray. When we do wake up and remember Allaah the first knot comes undone, next when we make wudu the second knot comes undone, and last when we pray our salaah the third one comes undone. This is the main fact that I learnt from this book.

Also I learnt that Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wasallam told children to go indoors at maghrib and they could come out one hour later. This is because the jinns/shaytaan are out at this time.

I think this book is very good for children to learn the ways we can protect ourselves from harm and evil.

I would say this book is good for children aged around 7 and above for them to be able to really understand it.

This book helps us to learn more about Islaam and I really enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for reading my review.
