Curtis has just posted this review on his blog to build up his tally of texts read for his 'reading outside the box' challenge. This has been quietly buzzing along in the background of our in class reading program...I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be an announcement of a first challenge completer in the very near future.
Check out individual student blogs for reviews, there are quite a few interesting and varied new books being recommended!
Book Review
Maui And The Sun. Retold and Illustrated by Gavin Bishop
“Maui and the sun” is a children's book (originally written in Maori) about why the sun moves slowly, In this book it states that apparently the sun moved too fast and someone brave enough should try and slow it down.
I think that this book is a great read and has magnificent illustrations. It is a book for any age and a great bedtime story if you're like four or something, but do read.(If you like the pictures as much as Curtis did, Gavin Bishop is a well known New Zealand author and illustrator- He wrote the book "The House that Jack Built" which Room 15 read and discussed as part of our 'Treaty of Waitangi' inquiry focus.)
