In this post, I am going to list my all-time favourite Top 10 cartoon characters. Hope you enjoy it!

10. Spongebob (Spongebob Squarepants)

He is loved by practically everyone. Spongebob is a very big goofball, and always needs friends. Not one of my absolute favourites, but still good.

9. Charlie Brown (Peanuts)

He isn’t the only character in Peanuts that I like, but I always laugh every time Lucy holds the football and Charlie Brown runs, and when h’s about to kick it, falls. Even though it’s not realistic that he flips over every time, it’s still very funny!

8. Scooby-Doo

The star of lot’s of movies! Shaggy ad Scooby aren’t much help to Mystery Inc., but they sure save the day in their very own way!

7.  Tom & Jerry

I just couldn’t pick one out of the two, because they’re both amazing! Tom is always tying to catch Jerry for a meal, but always fails, due to Jerry’s quick-witted plans. The chase never ends!

6. Mickey Mouse

His high-pitched voice is something that everyone remembers. This iconic Disney character is one that I can’t forget.

5. Snoopy

Always trying to be another animal, and never gets enough food, Snoopy is the most creative dog I have ever seen. His relationship with Woodstock is also very cute. This dog has the personalities of a human (ex: he doesn’t like coconut, gets embarrassed when Charlie Brown makes fun of him etc.)!

4. Bugs Bunny

In The Looney Tunes Show, he always finds a way to escape his problems. With the help of the mouse under the refrigerator, Speedy Gonzales, Daffy tries to please Bugs. “Eh. What’s up, Doc?”

3. Tweety Bird

Also like Jerry (from Tom ad Jerry), Tweety always finds a way to avoid getting eaten. This time, by Sylvester the Cat. But she has help from Granny…Still, she needs to find  way to call her…right?

2. Minnie Mouse

I have enjoyed all the cartoons of Minnie Mouse. In Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, she worked with her friends to solve the problem. All of the shows with her are funny, and that`s the best part.

1. TINKERBELL!!!!!

Tinkerbell is my favourite cartoon charecter  ever. I loved her as a kid, and I still enjoy all the Tinkerbell movies.

Today, I am going to be reviewing a book called “The Diary of Laura’s Twin”. This book is about a mysterious diary that links 2 Jewish girls – Laura, a modern-day girl, and Sara, a young girl who fought to stay alive – together.

Laura had to start getting ready for her Jewish “coming of age” ceremony, called a Bat Mitzvah. She is assigned a special “twinning” project, in which she is to read about someone who is her age, and lived during the Holocaust. She chose to read the diary of Sara Gittler, a girl her age, who was imprisoned by the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto. She never got to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah, so Laura is going to share it with her. Each page Laura turns, she gets caught up with the book more, and more.

I really liked this book because it was non-fiction and fiction at the same time. This is because some parts are written like a diary, which included facts and pictures of the time during WWII (World War 2).

Even though Sara, Laura and all the other characters aren’t real, the things Sara talks about are. The Warsaw Ghetto is also real, as well as some of the heroes, and the pictures.

Here is a picture of the front cover of the book:

Monsters VS Aliens is a hilarious movie about 4 “monsters”; Susan/Ginormica, B.O.B (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate), Dr. Cockroach Ph. D, The Missing Link, and Insectosoraus-which turns into “Butterfly-osauras” on a mission to help save the universe from an evil octopus named Gallaxhar. Here is a bit more information on these monsters:

–       Susan

Susan Murphy was just about to get married to Derek Dietl-who happened to care about himself more than her- when a meteor hit her, causing her to turn green and grow. Since she was so big, her monster name was “Ginormica”.

–       B.O.B

B.O.B is and indestructible substance created by scientists. He has the ability to swallow anything. He’s amazing, but the only bad part is, he doesn’t have a brain.

–       Dr. Cockroach

Dr. Cockroach is a mad scientist who was human, and when he was, he created machine to have the abilities of a cockroach. The only side effects were…it changed him INTO a cockroach. He also has a mad scientist laugh, which is disliked by Susan.

–       The Missing  Link

Link is an extremely old fish-ape hybrid, who was found frozen and thawed out. His favourite thing to do is to scare people, so he got put with the others. Also, he always complains that he is out of shape-TRUE!

–       Insectosoraus

Insecto was a regular sized insect, transformed into a VERY LARGE insect by nuclear radiation, much like Susan. The cool thing about him is that he can shoot silk out of his nose. Insecto doesn’t speak properly, but has a VERY close bond with Link, who can understand what he is saying. After he’s out of his cocoon, he turns into a butterfly, and fly’s everyone where they need to go.

I thought this movie was pretty funny, and I think you will too after you see it. Here is a really amusing clip from the movie:

Enjoy!

I have just finished reading a book called, “The Longest Whale Song” by Jacqueline Wilson. It is a very sad and touching story.

It is about a girl named Ella who has lots of problems in her life: She has to deal with her stepfather, Jack, her best friend-Sally- seems to hang out with another girl more than her and worst of all…her mom fell into a coma when she was giving birth to a baby boy.When Ella started learning about whales, she was fascinated by them and loved them more and more every day. Every day when she would visit the hospital, she would read her mother a fact about whales. The most knowledgeable boy in the class also likes whales. His name is Joseph, and he is very kind. Ella and Joseph become friends and their adventure continues. At the end of the book, Ellas mum wakes up, tired of the whale music CD Mrs. Anderson (Joseph’s mom) lent her. Here are some of the other characters:

 

• Liz (Ella’s mom’s best friend)
• Dory (The girl who hangs out with Sally)
• Martha (A very rude girl and originally Dory’s best friend)
• Mike (Ella’s real dad)
• Butterscotch (Ella’s guinea pig)

 

Here is what the cover looks like:

Calling all cake lovers! Below is a picture of  a 6 layered cake, with designer, Wanda Beaver:

 

This is the new “it” cake. It is a 6 layered cake, each layer with a different colour and taste, varying from mint to lemon to rasberry to pistachio. “It’s so pretty,” said Wanda Beaver, owner of “Wanda’s Pies in the Sky”.

This is a cake that I hope to try someday!
