Summary: One of the best books I've read.
Review: In this book I like the part where they had to take care of the babies for three weeks. I thought that his teacher was his father because he knew the song that his dad was singing the day he left.

Rating: 2 stars

Mr. Cassidy told them that at the end of the 18 days they would have a official weigh in.

Review: The book seemed to go nowhere and was very unentertaining. There wasn't much action in the book at all. I don't recommend this book by any means.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Our Flour Babies Reveiw
Review: The book was funny in some places but very boring in others. the book is about a teenage boy who's father walked out on him when he was just six weeks old, but he starts to realize why he left him and his mum when he does a flour baby experiment, which consists of him carrying a sack of flour round for three weeks. The book is suitable for ages 10-14yrs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review of The Flour Babies Book
Review: The flour babies book is about a class of boys(4c)who have a flour baby each to look after for three weeks. Also Simon Martin wants to find out about his father and Sajid Mahmoud opened a creche for the flour babies.

I thought that the book was good in some chapters but, in others it was bad, firstly i thought it was good because it was interesting, funny and a lot happened and some of the words were difficult to understand.

Some of the words i didn't understand are meagre, unwieldy, banished and credentials.

I think i would recommend it to everyone that likes a bit of comedy. I wouldn't recommend it to smaller children under 10 years.

Some of the characters i thought was good were Martin Simon, Simon Martin,Sajid Mahmoud, Mr Cartwright and Dr Feltham.

Summary: This book was about a boy who took care of a flour baby.
Review: This book is certain to be a hit..... It's about a boy who has to take care of a flour baby in a parenting class. In the beginning he thought that this project was silly, but later on in the book he realizes that the flour baby is helping him figure out his own life. It's fine treatment of the subject, a wonderful blend of hilarity and seriousness,makes the book a winner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Proof is in the Pudding
Review: Too often we label and categorise people and in doing so limit people. This is what Anne Fine's book is about. Set in a school, it's about 3C, just naming it, sums up the mood. Mr Cartright, the class teacher, has become immune over time and whilst he has a fondness for 3C, he is like many teachers, slightly beat by the system. 3C don't have it over him, somehow he manages to keep one verbal step ahead, but it is a well-trodden game that is played year after year. The head teacher, boffin, or incurable optimist, has other ideas and for the annual science fair, 3C are assigned the Flour Babies. The plot focusses on Simon, who in persisting with the experiment, defies expectations. The Flour Babies is about labelling, expectations, development, love and resolution. It is written in the language of 3C and is extremely funny and bittersweet. I loved it.
