The Ostrich of Pudding Lane
Jeremy Strong, Sarah Horne
Pudding Lane may be the only primary school in the UK with a real, live ostrich for a mascot. She comes to the school as an escapee from the ostrich farm and soon wins a place in the hearts of staff and pupils alike. Rival schools and Ofsted beware as Pudding Lane prepares to deploy its tall, feathery secret weapon against all comers. Brilliantly illustrated in black-and-white by Sarah Horne, this Conkers edition includes jokes, quizzes and trace-and-cut-out activities including false moustaches.

Mad Iris the ostrich was the funniest character in the book. The story was very entertaining and funny.

I'd give it a 10 If I could. I liked the ostrich the best because she was really funny. It interested me because there has never been an ostrich in a school before so I was keen to see what happened. I definately reccomend this book.

Ivy was one of a kind, and a very good troublemaker! The best bit is when she picked up the animals and put them back in their cages. It had shown she was useful after all. I really liked this book. Five stars from me!

I loved this book, it was so funny and entertaining. Mad Iris, the ostrich, is Pudding Lanes very own school mascot. She likes to eat pencils, nip at Mrs Norton’s bum, but she dislikes screws and screwdrivers. My favourite character was Mad Iris the ostrich, because she was so funny and amusing. I definitely recommend this book.

This book is fiction. Katie was the best character. She knew how to deal with Mad Iris, the ostrich. This book is hilarious. It is about an ostrich which escapes from a ostrich farm and comes to Pudding Lane School. There are several stories in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read funny books.

My favourite character was Mad iris the ostrich. She is very cheeky and funny. I like how at the end she kicks the winning goal and steals the trophy on the football match. I like how the other two main characters (Kelly Jessup and Ross) worked together to keep the Mad iris safe. I recommend it because it is a really funny book and It is quite adventurous and funny.

Definitely a fiction book. Its hilarious and you must read this book by Jeremy Strong. The odd combinations of things that happen for example ostriches running through the playground makes this a brilliant book. This is my favourite book of the Summer. I have also read one hundred mile an hour dog.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for and easy read and a funny book. The ostrich is the best part how she just comes in and the school does everything to keep her. I think it is a really good book
