My Book Review On Flour Babies - By: Samuel P. Heatey, 28 May 2008 
Personallly I think Flour Babies was proably one of the worst books by Anne Fine. I don't reallly understand what the main point of the book actuallly is. When I saw the play I thought it was great & thought the book would be the same but obviously I was wrong. I never reallly got into the book as I read more of the book.
The main character is Simon Martin. He is the new boy in 4c,the worst class in the school. When he & his class are sent home with these baby type things made with ''flour'' in it. As he looks after his flour baby,memories for his past start flooding in.He asks so many questions about his young life.I won't give any more detail away.
I would recommend it for teenagers from ages 13-15.
When I read this book I was reallly disappointed with Anne Fine as I have read some of her other books which were great.
This is what I think about Flour Babies.

Flour Babies - By: Mrs. L. Rodgers, 18 Mar 2007 
Personallly I think Flour Babies was a rather dull & dreary read. I couldn't wait to read on, to finish the book.
The characters were very funny, creative & unique, the characters were supposed to be very stereotypical however many of them changed. In my oppinion the characters were the glue that stuck the book together.
The book is abput a young boy of twelve & his journey to find his Dad. It is written in third person narrative & is set mostly in a school.
In some places chapters would go ona & on to find out one point & would become boring.
The story forces you to think not to stereotype because most of the time the person is completeley different. The book ends on a high note but just doesn't add up to the point of the book.
When Mr.Cartright sets the flour babies project. Simon thinks, just as any normal 12 year old boy would, its rubbish but he soon realises without knowing. That he is his own Dad through the project.
The idea for the story was great but I think was written in a manner that could have improved. The story should have had more events happening & was perhaps too short.
A reveiw on Flour Babies by Paul Souchon - By: Mr. Stephen Souchon, 16 Mar 2007 
In this story a class of typical school boys are alll given a sack of flour & they are told to look after it as if it were a real baby for about three weeks.They soon learn about the responsibility of parenthood & their relationships towards friends & family. The plot of the story openings slowly but graduallly gets more dramatic.
The plot is good & original, It is told in the 3rd person but is based on the point of view of the boys. I believe that it was written about relationships with other people. I would highly recommend this book for readers of 9 years old & up.
My Flour Babies review - By: , 17 Jun 2004 Reading Flour Babies was reallly fun, espacialy where we got to make our own ones. We alll got a chance to read at lest a page. We alll enjoiyd the part where our teacher was making funny acents. I'm sure who ever reads this book will enjoiy it. There were some sad bits too, but if there wasn't the book would get a bit boaring. We're getting to the end of the story now & i'm reallly excited. can't wait to finish the book.
Jessica's review on The Flour Babies - By: jess, 17 Jun 2004 My view on the Flour Babies:
The Flour Babies is a very touching book it discusses young paranting & the different ways to cope.
i'd recomend this book because its sad, funny & fun. its about a boy who has to look after a sack of flour. He shows very little enthusiasm at the beginning but as the weeks go by he feels alll sorts of different emotions for his flour baby & his long lost dad who left him after 6 weeks. Join Simon Martin on this spectacular, touching book the Flour Babies. definately recomended.
