Anna is thrown into a panic at school when the teacher announces that each member of the class must do a five-minute show on Monday morning. Everyone except Anna seems to have ideas but Anna can't think of anything to do. She worries all through theweekend and no one at home is helpful. On Monday morning she is resigned to giving a boring talk about what she did in the holidays, but when everyone else gives a great performance she knows she can't do this. She decides to take a chance and takesScruff, her rabbit puppet, out of her bag and gives the magic show she usually does for her young brother. Much to her amazement her act is a huge success.

In this book Anna and her class have to do a little performance
in front of the class.But the problem is Anna has a stage
fright.

I liked this book because its interesting and funny and its not
very long.

my favourite part was when every one says what they are going
to do.

I would reccmend this book to ages 6 to 8 years.

only a show 23 Jun 2003
By Emma
Format:Paperback
only a show.
published by Gazelle.
The story takes place in a town in England.
The main characters are a baby teddy bear and a little girl.
The story is about a girl and a teddy that missed a little show.
Some of the idears in the story when the little girl was using colours that had just ran out.
The episode I liked the best I liked the funny parts in chapter five the best.
The reason I would not like my friends to read this book becouse they might need harder books because they might find it to easy to read and bigger paragraphs and small chapters.

I like it because it's about a puppet that's an animal and I love animals. That's why I like it so much.
