Captain Underpants- still my favourite book
My favourite book of all time is Captain Underpants! I read it when
I was very young and it made me crack up with laughter and joy!
It was one of the first books I read on my own and I really enjoyed
it! It was very humorous and made me a better person. I loved
the drawings in them as they were very easy to copy but were still
very good. I also enjoyed the work book version that can also be
bought along with the other books in the series.
My favourite Book - what is yours?
If I had to take one book to a desert island it would be 'Green Eggs and Ham' by Dr Suess. The reason I would take this book is it would remind me of the great childhood I had. Its very light and easy to carry. If I were on a desert island I would me fairly depressed as it would be hard to live in such bad conditions but if you had 'Green Eggs and Ham' by Dr Suess, it may very well lighten your mood. Not just this Dr Suess book it could be any one of his book as they all contain comedy and they're all easy reads. I love Dr Suess' books for this very reason! His characters are all imaginary type creatures and the illustations in this book could entertain you for hours! This is why I would choose this book for a desert island.
My Dad is Ten Years Old
My Dad is 10 years old
If there was one book I would bring to a dessert island it would be My dad is 10 years old! I bought this book with my friend Hannah in Easons. I got the progress price for 2nd year and I got a €40 book voucher with it and I bought 2 books and a whole bunch of stationary!! This book really makes you appreciate life. So if I was on a dessert island and reading this book iI would be thinking really its not that bad! It is written my Mark O'Sullivan, an Irish man! Its also makes you value life and everyone you take for granted and really be happy for what you have! for at least a week after i was in such a good mood! Even though its sad at times it is still the book i would bring with me to dessert island! when i was choosing the book i read the title and i was a little confused but by the end of the book your saying oh i get it! The general story is about a dad of three kids whose in an accident and looses all his memory. Throughout the book the family go through ups and downs of tyring to cope with this man they cant even call dad anymore without him freaking out.
Why Sherlock Holmes is my favourite book
If I had to pick a book to take to a desert island I would bring Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I would take this because its very long and I like the way its split up into many short stories each one with a different storyline. his means it is easy to finish the individual story and find out happens in the end in one night. I got it in ibooks which means I always have it with me for any spare minute I get with nothing to do.
Each story is unique, and I really like the particular stories that come with an extra bit at the end to explain the story. It gives you a background after you know the outcome. I think this is an interesting style of writing but works in this particular series.
Each story has its own mystery which I never really bother to try and work out but enjoy unraveling in the end. Its nice to look back after finishing the story and see how all the pieces fall into place.
I would recommend this book to anyone especially people who read fast as there is plenty there and it is split up into short stories.
Harry Potter
My favourite book of all time would be Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone. I got this book when I was eight years old. It was the first proper book I read. It was first published in 1997 and written by J.K Rowling. This book was later made a movie, but some of the magic was lost in this.
This book represents my childhood and I grew up with the characters of these series’.
