This book is about
The children (Tiger, Max, Cat and Ant) go to London on the train. Ant takes Pickles, his hamster, so that he can see London. They visit the London Dungeon, the Natural History Museum and Big Ben. Later they go to the London Eye. Pickles is made bigger when ice cream falls onto Ant's watch. Pickles goes on the London Eye because he thinks it is like his hamster wheel. The people are terrified of the giant hamster! Tiger uses a plastic ice cream while Max and Cat get Pickles attention. Pickles sees the ice cream and goes to it. Ant uses the dial on his watch to shrink Pickles.

The main characters are
Tiger, Max, Cat, Ant, Ant's Mum and Dad, and Pickles the hamster.

When Pickles gets bigger and bigger.

I would also like to say
I liked the picture of the London Eye.

This book is about
This book is about a boy called Max and a hamster called Pickles. The boy Max and Pickles had some friends that helped Max turn gigantic. They went to the Natural History Museum in London then they went to London dungeon and finally they went to Big Ben and London Eye.

My favourite part of the book is
My most favourite part of the story is when they all went to the Natural History Museum becuase it is non fiction and designed in the past.

I would also like to say
The pictures aren't just fiction eventhough it is fiction, it is mixed with non fiction pitures and fiction pitures.
