This book made me do it is a very interesting and useful non-fiction book written by John Woodward. As the sub-title tells, you can learn a lot on ‘Cool things to make, do, and explore’ with it. The author talks about over 160 COOL THINGS in one single book. That is a cool thing by itself!
Do you know how to twist some fun balloon shapes(P.16-17), or repair a string with magic(P.15)? You will surely amaze your friends and become a SUPER STAR if you can do these at a party.
Are you a food-lover? If you are, the book is also for you because you can learn many cooking skills from it. Moreover, you will know how to make glorious food in an extraordinary way, such as frying an egg in the sun(P.47)! It will also tell you how to eat with good manners, for example, eating spagehetti like an Italian(P.49).
Do you want to get creative too ? Teach your friends knotting a friendship bracelet (P.76), knitting fingerless gloves (P.79) and turning magazines into a necklace (P.82) can definitely make you cool and creative.
Actually , this book is about everything you may want to know, and lots of things you didn’t realize that you wanted to know. Stuff that’s USEFUL, COOL, MIND-BOGGLING, or just FUN. I suggest you find the book in the school library and see what can interest you most!
I would recommend this book to students in P4-P6. Younger students from P1-P3 might also like to look at this book because it is very interesting to all kids. So what are you waiting for?

這本書關於城市發展與環境保育的問題。在這個急速發展的地球，我們為了更富裕的生活，更舒適的生活環境，往往在不知不覺間了犧牲我們的大自然：過度的填海、過量的砍伐樹木、拔除樹木以致沙漠化加劇……以上種種都把大自然一點一滴地摧毀。故事中敍述一條小村莊的成人為了興建鐵路，企圖把他們愛惜多年，提供他們食物與歡樂的蘋果樹砍下來，但是小朋友們更明白蘋果樹對小村莊的重要性，所以提出一個更好的辦法……
或者您會問：我們所居住的香港已經是城市，城市發展和我沒有關係吧？不！早在2009年前，香港政府因為興建高鐵，就計劃拆卸菜園村……這個城市發展與環境保護的衝突其實一直，一直存在於我們的生活中。
閱畢全書後，我希望讀者們思考兩個問題：在發展與環保間，是否真的水火不容？兩者之間，是否能找到一個平衡點？這些問題，我留待各為小讀者在閱畢全書後為我解答。

I know that many of you are curious about and interested in animals. If you are one of the people who love animals as I do, then this book is a great choice for you to read in your leisure time.
The author of this book uses different questions to tell us the characteristics of different reptiles, such as crocodiles, snakes, turtles, etc. They raised questions that we have never thought about and may not even know the answers. Do you know if there are two-headed snakes in the world? Do you know why turtles have shells? Do you know if crocodiles cry? I did not know the answers before reading this book, but now I know.
This book uses simple English to explain difficult things. Even if you may not know the English names of the reptiles, there are pictures of the animals so that you will not feel confused. You can prepare your magic notes while you are reading, write down the names of the reptiles, draw pictures, and show them to your teachers and classmates! It must be a joyful thing to do.
I liked this book a lot because it is a fun book to read and it also helped improve my knowledge about reptiles. After you read this book, maybe you can teach your classmates all about reptiles too! If you are curious about this book, don’t hesitate! Go to the library and borrow it! You will definitely enjoy it.
