I have chosen this book because the book cover and the blurb appealed to me. When I started to read the book it wasn't as interesting as i thought it would be. I continued to read the book however I didn't find it as exciting as i had hoped. I do not enjoy books written by Colin Thompson. I appreciate working in my group unfortunately I do not like activities based on books, like recounts.

Hi Marcus, one of the interesting things about books is they are like meeting new people! Sometimes we don't like someone at first but when we get to know them we realise they are ok. I guess what I'm trying to say is it takes time and thought to really get into a book. They don't have to be exciting and entertaining. The purpose of this book is to raise your awareness of the consequences of war - even on the lives of pets. Then the awareness will in some small way alter your thinking and even your life. With this in mind what do you identify as the main idea of the story? Is there an illustration that is particularly relevant to the main idea you identify? Ms Webster.
