Miss Lewis recommends ...

The Tunnel by Anthony Browne is one of my favourite children's books. I think it is a very intriguing and interesting book. It tells the story of a brother and sister who argue all the time. When their mother sends them out to play together and they discover a tunnel, their relationship changes forever. The sister is too scared to enter the tunnel so the brother decides to go through and finds himself in a magical forest. When her brother doesn't return she follows him into the tunnel and finds him turned into stone.

The illustrations in this book are lovely, especially once the children are in the magical forest. He makes the forest look so enchanted and captures the readers imagination. Year 3 if you have not read this book, I recommend you do. I know you will all appreciate the beautiful illustrations. If you have already read this book see if you can answer some of the questions below:

How did the brother know she would come? Why did he turn to stone? Why did Jack go through the tunnel if his sister was scared?

    I think that he now that she was coming because he might of but in to her but he and she did notice. I think he turned to stone because he didn't eat and have fresh air. I think that he went in the tunnel because that he wanted to see if anyone is in their.

    Because he wanted to make sure it's safe . I think he turned to stone because there was a wizard which turned him to stone .I think the reason why he knew that his sister was going to come because thy have a bond. He done it so she wouldn't be scared

      That's interesting Edem about the wizard turning him to stone do you thing the book is trying to tell us something? I agree with you that it is because the sister and brother have a bond after this.
