Mr Large was getting ready for work. Mr Large said to his wife "don't forget the office dinner-dance tonight." Mrs Large was trying to get ready without the children getting in the way.
We think it is very funny when Mrs Large gets paint on her bottom and the children put all their toys in her new tights. The pictures are really interesting to look at because they have lots of detail.

A tiger came to tea at Sophie's house. He ate all the food and drank all the drink, even all the water out of the tap!
The tiger had eaten so much he could hadrdly fit through the door.
We like it because the tiger eats all the food in the house so Sophie and her family end up having to go out for tea.
We think it is funny because the tiger is greedy.

Little Bear wants to go to the moon. Little Bear imagines that he is going up the chimney and goes to the moon.
