My favourite book is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that is the first part of the franchise wizard services. In this there was an 11 year old boy Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliff) dwells with his uncle, aunt and cousin. Harry used to live with his mother’s sister’s family since shortly after his birth, when his parents were murdered by the evil wizard Voldemort. He tried to kill the infant Harry as well, but failed leaving the boy and amazed except for a scar on his forehead. After that incident Voldemort vanished, never to b e heard from again. On Harry’s birthday 100 Rubeus Hagrid came at Harry’s house who came to Hogwarts School of Wilchcraft and wizardy to take Harry their so he could study to fulfill his true calling of wizard. After a trip with Hagrid to buy supplies (including a wand, a snowy owl and a cauldron), then Harry arrived at Hogwarts. There he meets classmates, and two of them became very good friends. Those were Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and bossy – Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and antagonists such as arrogant Oraco Malfey (Term Felton). Then there was a headmaster of Hogwarts the venerable wizard Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris) and his staff – Professor McGonagall and Maggie Smith), who teaches Transfiguration, Professor Quirrel (Ian Hart) whose course was to Defence the Dark Arts. Professor Snape master of potions. For Harry three were many adventures in the school where all the friends were very brave.

Story A Day by Walt Disney, reviewed by Sabhya Arora

My favourite book is story “A Day” by Walt Disney’s.
This book “Story a Day” is full of stories. This book is one of a fantastic new series of Walt Disney. There a re four books in the series – one for spring, one for summer, one for autumn and one for winter. Each book contains a story for every day of the season, so if you read all four you will have a story a day all year round, including one for the special days, like Christmas day. All the stories have been specially written for the series and feature favorite Disney characters in lots of exciting and entertaining new adventures. And if you like to laugh you’ll even find jokes in the books too! Like in the story “Mougli’s coconut”. Mougli wants to eat coconut so he decided that the best way to do it was to hurt it through the air and hope that it would crack open as it landed on the ground. But nothing happens and suddenly there was a very loud thundering noise. It was colonel Hathi, who was patrolling his elephants. They come when they had gone, Mougli looked around for his coconut. At last, he found it! The shell how been well and truly cracked open it funny? For every child who can read these books will make a treasured gift, and toddlers will find that but time every night will be a special event, as they fall asleep listening to tales of Mickey, Donald, Goofy and their Disney land friends.
Adventures of Noody,reviewed by Harshit Chawla

Adventures of Noody is my favourite book. Noddy inhabits the wonderful Toyland. Noddy has a wonderful little car which he always keep racing around the streets of Toy Town laid. Mr. Sparks, Big Ears, Tessle Goblins, Martha Monkey are all his friends, not to forget his favourite person in Toy Land, Mr. Plod, the policemen. Noddy and his faithful car, which accompanies him in his adventures and saves his bacon on a umber of occasions. He has series of fun adventures and the one that I like most is “Noddy and the special key”. In this story one day Noddy while driving through the street of Toyland, was unable to stop his little car as its brakes was not working. on seeing this Mr. Plod shouted at him “Slow down”. “I don’t think I can!” said Noddy and his car bumped into an old oak tree and finally stopped. Noddy quickly took the key of his car “Well the special key did start my car but I shall not use it again.” Actually this is clockwork Mouse key which Goblins have stolen and that’s why he was unable to do amazing leaps. I think these books are very good way of introducing children to the wonderful world of reading.

I have loads of story books like Beauty and the beast, Toy Story, Little Red – Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, Barbie Story Book Collection, Fairy Friends, The Magic Hats, etc. but my favourite book is My First Picture Dictionary.

It has improved my knowledge and vocabulary very much. My word-power is increasing day by day because of reading this book. Whenever I want to know the meaning of any word, this book is ready to help me. It never says ‘NO’ to me. It is the great source of knowledge. And knowledge is power.
