Book Review

My favourite drawing is the ones of the birds, particularly when they were in the basket as it looked funny.

My favourite character in this book was the kitten because they were all nice and cosy in his coat and this was very nice. I would describe this book as animal filled and kind of silly!

I really like when the birds went on his bike because they were cosy in the nest and it looked really cool on the bike.

I would describe the pictures as bright and fun.

My favourite drawing is the ones of the birds, particularly when they were in the basket as it looked funny.

I think that the book is saying that you can live and belong anywhere.
Reading this book made me think about being around people is better than being alone as he did get sad when they all left.

I award the book 5/5.

About the Book

One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a mouse has made a house in his hat.

On Tuesday, there are birds in his bicycle basket and on Wednesday, a squirrel asleep in his shoe!

What will Mr Norton do when, as the week progresses, the animals take over his bathroom, his bed – and even HIS BEARD?
