It was the only book from Michael Morpurgo I’ve not liked. It was such a nice book but at the end it was so sad. But other than the ending, it was cool

I love Michael Morpugo books. They are interesting and you can reading one book without stopping as you always want to know what happens next.

I really liked this book because they were making movie and there was going to be a dancing bear in it and there was a girl who was singing to the dancing bear. She got to go and explore the world and her dreams.

I got this book and it wasn't my favourite thing however I still read it because when ever I stopped their was always a plot twist so I always carried on and this book is nonfiction and I would recommend this book

It was fictional, and my best character was Roxanne. Yes I would recommend it to someone else!

This story is good for people who like the Michael Morpurgo or who if you want to start reading his books. I enjoyed the excitement and the twist throughout the book.

This is such a traffic and happy story at the same time. It's has an awfully solemn ending, and a begining that just drawer me in. I was so surprised at the end when the poor bear died. It was even more miserable when the narrator said the line "I bet she never got it in the first place". That made me so sad. Honestly I recommend it to anyone who wants to have to cry. It was a super short read with 56 pages but those pages were worth it.

The narrator was a character in the story (the headteacher/headmaster).The bear leaped at her while Roxanne (who was the main character and an orphan) was minding her own business. She showed it to her grandfather and the head kept convincing him to say yes and he did in the end. They were happy together... Until a film crew came.

I read The Dancing Bear by M.Morpurgo. l enjoyed this book because it taught good morals and was a very kind and caring story. My favourite character is the bear because he was always happy for Roxie and never wanted to go against her and her decisions. I would recommend this book to all age groups but maybe more advanced readers.

It was one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read but it teaches to respect animals.

It was sad. I would recommend it to someone else because it’s a short book, easy to read and happy and sad at the same time.

This book was amazing, and I could not stop reading it. It was about a community in a village participating in a film. One of the main characters, who was my favorite, was the dancing bear and he played a huge role in the film. However, there were a few situations in the story where it would turn out to be dull. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book.
