How to do it
Find a story that touches on Bonfire Night, fireworks or autumn evenings — anything that fits the mood. Read it together, then settle in with the colouring sheet and a book review.
Colour while you chat: What did they like? Who was their favourite character? Would they tell a friend to read it? Fill in the review together as you go — it doesn't need to be formal.
A sentence or two is plenty, especially for younger children. The point is the conversation, not the writing.
