My sewing

I feel happy because that was my first time doing sewing. It took several days to finish the sewing.

Colin book review

Colin's book review - The 13-Storey Treehouse
 illustrated by Terry Denton, written by Andy Griffiths. 

My favourite part in the book is when Terry and Andy found a mermaid in a bathtub and Terry blushed and giggled he fell in love with the mermaid. The mermaid had a name it was Mermaidia. Then Andy left the room and closed the door. Andy could hear what Terry and Mermaidia was saying ‘You are so sweet’ said Mermaidia ‘I wish I could stay here with you!’ ‘But you can... can’t you? said Terry. ‘Alas,no,’ said Mermaidia. ‘I cant live here in the bathtub forever.‘We’ve got a swimming pool!’ said Terry. ‘It’s see-through! You could live there!’ ‘But I need to live in the sea,’ said Mermaidia. ‘It’s where I belong.’ ‘Oh,’ said Terry sadly. ‘I know!’ said mermadia. ‘Why don’t you come to live with me? We could live in my 13-storey sandcastle under the sea!’ I like this book because Andy Griffiths is one of my favourite writers. I would recomend this book to a person who likes funny books. By Colin
