Good book
I liked the part when he got the gold.
Enjoyed this book
It’s a bit boring for me and I’ve read a lot of versions but it gets dull when you know what’s next.
I liked this book, my favourite character was the man at the end.
Traditional
I liked in the story about the cat chasing the mouse. I think it would be good for someone else to read because it is easy to read and it is fun.
Great fun to read.
My favorite character is Dick Whittington. He hears that streets of London are paved with gold and he went on adventure, in the end he became Mayor of London, three times.
This was a really long book and so I read it over a couple of days. Because it was long there were no quizzes at the end which made me sad
I really liked it that Dick Whittington got to be mayor 3 times in London and he got to be one of the richest men in London.
The belles were singing turn again Whittington Lord of mayor
He didn’t get money
He married a princess
Dick
Yes
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about a very poor boy that becomes rich and becomes the Mayor of London three times. Dick Whittington was my favourite character as he was honest and hardworking. He deserved to be successful. Mrs Curry was my least favourite character as she wasn’t very kind to Dick. I would definitely recommend this book to other children that like a rags to riches story.
It was good because he became the richest man in town
A lovely story, enjoyable to read.
It was a bit sad.
I quite liked it and I liked that he travelled quite a lot of miles.

This was a fiction book, but sort of s true story. My favourite person was the kind man who helped Dick get rich. I would recommend it to Peggy, but she doesn't have it.
