This is our first book Review.
This term I have been reading about the WW1 Mascots animals at war and it is written by Philippa Werry. The ` type of book this is a non-fiction. This book is mostly about WW1 and is war a place for animals or is it, what is a mascot. A mascot is used to represent a group of people.
My favorite bit is when is says many mascots survived the war but the sab bite it that some died during the fighting and a dog called Freda, the mascot of New Zealand.
