Ali’s comments from the UEL Primary PGCE 2012-13 group.

Thanks Lydia and Robert, great reviews! Robert, that book sounds a lot like No Hickory, No Dickory, No Dock, which my Y2-Y4 classes loved!

Thanks Ruth! Have you seen the other Large Family books by Jill Murphy?

Thanks Amy! Three great books.

Thanks, Ciaran. Have you read any Lauren St. John? I recommend her animal books to Morpurgo fans.

Thanks, Kirran and Fariha! Some great reviews of books for early years.

Thanks all! Lovely reviews. Tahera, please could you check that you are writing your reviews as reviews and not as comments? They won't show up in your list at the end of PGCE unless you post them in the right place.

Here's the link to the review rather than the book, Sadia. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks, Maeve! If you enjoyed The Butterfly Lion, I recommend Lauren St. John's animal books. She's a great writer for confident readers of Y4+.

Thanks Donna, that's an amazing book. Have you read The Shrinking of Treehorn? It has a similar premise- a boy starts shrinking, but nobody notices.

Thanks Anouschka! Some great books for Reception.

Hi Zainab, you need to cut and paste this into the review box. As a comment, it won't show up in your list at the end of the PGCE.

Here is the link to your review, Hayley. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... It looks like a great book for EYFS to discuss new babies, too

Two great books, Montserrat. Escape From Warsaw (The Silver Sword) is a very powerful book.

Thanks Laura! Have you read any of Sally Gardner's books? I recommend Operation Bunny; very, very funny.

Thanks Eva- you posted Peter Rabbit several times! I'm glad you discovered a new Mini Beasts book; I don't know that one!

Two great reviews, Amy! Look out for a TV adaptation of Mr Stink, coming soon... http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/19674006

Thank you, Angela and Edel! Angela, have you read any of Andy Stanton or David Walliams' books?

Edel, please copy and paste your reviews onto the page of the book you are reviewing. These reviews won't show up in your review list at the end of the PGCE. Here is Beware of Boys: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... and here is Jack and the Flumflum tree http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Thanks Ayshah!
