Journey Under The Sea by Linda Pitkin
Journey Under The Sea by Linda Pitkin
My dad asked me to read this book and tell you how good I thought it was. I am only six-and-half years old but I am the second best reader in my class after Christopher Thompson.
Â?Â?Â?Â? It's a big book with lots of colour pictures of the animals you might see under the sea. It is a story about someone going to an island a long way from England, and what they saw. It's called Journey Under the Sea by Linda Pitkin and it's like a visit to an underwater amazement park.
Â?Â?Â?Â? My dad had to help me with lots of the words. The ones I couldn't read. He said he was disappointed that there were so many long ones. I think those words are too difficult for someone my age. My dad says it's probably better for someone who is 13.
Â?Â?Â?Â? The first pages tell about the stuff you need to use to go diving. I know all about that. My dad's always going diving somewhere. The pictures of the divers are very bright and clear.
Â?Â?Â?Â? Then it's all animals and fishes. My dad says all the close-up pictures of small animals and things are very good but I noticed he sort of turned his nose up at the photos of turtles and sharks and manta rays. They looked all right to me. He says they have no colour.
Â?Â?Â?Â? I like the book and its pictures. I think it's got colour. I think it's fantabulous. Some of the fish are scary for my little sister. She likes the starfish. I like the sting rays and reptiles best. I don't really like the words. I think the lady who wrote it should spend more time with children. My dad said she wrote it for Brian. I'm not sure what sort of fish Brian is.
