The Weed
Quentin Blake
The Weed is a new title from the highly acclaimed author/illustrator Quentin Blake. The Meadowsweet family suddenly and expectedly find themselves at the bottom of a giant crack in the earth. With the help of their pet bird, Octavia and a magical seed, the family go on a journey to the surface. A charming, fantastical story about discovery, the potential for growth, the power of an idea and the importance of having faith in the unknown.

I liked when the weed had delicious fruit on it. I loved the drawings. I would say it was a good book.

I liked the pictures, but the story ending was weird.

I like the thing where the funny leaves come on and the funny fruits come on. I only like that bit. And I also liked the bit where they fall out of the tree. I like the whole story. I can't read it but my mummy read it to me.

I liked it because it was a famous author and I liked the pictures and I liked it that they climbed up a big bean stalk and I liked it because they fell down a massive massive massive hole and the crow didn’t talk at the end.

I liked Octavia best and wondered if she stopped speaking at the end because she turned into a normal non-speaking bird.

Its a good book, the weed is huge and grows so fast. I wonder what it is. I like the book because one of the characters is Lily.

A family was in a crack and a bird saved them by planting a magic weed. I liked the boy and Octavia the talking bird.

I really liked that the earth was really hard and then Octavia got the seed for them to plant. They got put by climbing up and then the earth became all green and beautiful.
