This story is about a horse who is difficult to train . I didnt really like it but I liked the name of the book. It was written by gillian Cross. The horse was crazy! There was a child who was riding the horse and they were going to go on the motorway and the library van went in the way of the tunnel leading to the motorway but the horse wouldn't top it, just went faster and faster and then jumped on the van snd slid off but the little girl was still on it!!

Mozart’s banana is a horse who won’t let anyone ride him. But then, Alice turns up…

A funny story suitable for LKS2 I would say. Both the boys and girls would enjoy it.

I like Alice and Sammy best and Mozart's Banana was crazy!
Mozart's Banana was so crazy he tried to jump over a van and he was galloping everywhere and was so dangerous. Alice was very brave.

It is all about a crazy horse who loves throwing himself up in the air when someone sits on him. You should read this book because it is interesting and silly!
