Nina Peanut is Amazing
Book Review
To have a letter at the start of the book was a brilliant idea
As soon as I saw this book I instantly thought it would be AMAZING. I love how much effort and detail Sarah Bowie put on the front cover. Even my mum said it looked like a great book.
To have a letter at the start of the book was a brilliant idea. The letter itself is super because it has lots of detail. I like the way Sarah Bowie put some information in from Nina and some from herself.
The book was quite interesting but there were bits that I thought were a bit disgusting like ‘how not to step in poo’ and where it says the bird will do a poo. Some children might like this and find it funny but I didn’t.
Nina Peanut was only bothered about making ‘non-stupid’ videos and getting views. I thought Megan’s character was very bossy and mean but then she becomes friends with Nina. My favourite part was the first bit when Mr Harrison told Nina off. My least favourite bits were about poo and stuff like that.
I think I would like it better if this book wasn’t a comic because I prefer to read stories with regular text. But I think other people would disagree with me and really like the artwork.
It says that it is super funny, but I’m sorry to say it just wasn’t for me. To be fair, I feel the book is just the right length and if you like jokes about poo I’m sure you will love reading it!
