Introducing Blog Dog

Mrs Riding The adventures of Blog Dog , ,

Hi there. My name is Bob. BD to my friends.  I live with Mrs Riding and I spend a lot of time watching her blog and read. Mostly it’s a lot of fun. When she’s not on the computer blogging we spend a lot of time snuggled up somewhere comfy and we read, we get out in the garden and we read, and sometimes we even go to the beach and… you guessed it, we read. Lately though, I’ve been longing for a bit of adventure. I’d love to meet some new friends and see a bit more of the world, so I was thinking… why not ask the kids at Tenambit to take me home on the weekend. I’m sure Mrs Riding could do without me for that long. Maybe you could take me to the movies, dance practice, karate or soccer? I could jump on your trampoline, you could take me to the park, and it would great to have someone else read me a story.

What do you think? Would you like to take me home? There’s just one catch. Mrs Riding will want a full report. You’ll have to tell her what I’ve been up to by writing in my diary. A photo of us together would be great too. Wait! Maybe I could start my own blog. You could call me Blog Dog. I like the sound of that. Bob, the Blog Dog.

A typical weekend looks like this…

Braydon’s book review

Mrs Riding Book Reviews by You! ,

Ride, Ricardo, Ride! by Phil Cummings and Shane Devries

Ride, Ricardo, Ride! was the book I chose to read and do a book review on. The book is written by Phil Cummings and Shane Devries.

Every day Ricardo rides his bike around the village and until one day he no longer is able to ride his bike. Ricardo’s dad is taken by the shadows which represent soldiers invading the local town.

I would recommend this book to all students as it is a very enjoyable book to read. However, the book made me very sad because Ricardo loses his dad and is no longer able to ride his bike.
