My favourite part was when Finlay brought in the wrong kind of things because he wasn’t listening

The person I like is the puppy because he saved the fish when red paint dripped into the tank. I would recommend it to others if they like puppy.

The book was lovely and I enjoyed the end. I loved the different meanings to same sound words. My favourite characters were the dog and Finlay because they helped the fish. I would recommend this book to someone else.

This book was mistakeable - it had lots of funny mistakes. It was happy at the end.

Finlay was funny because the teacher told him to bring a piece of tree bark and he brought a dog instead.
