    I think it is a very good book. It has houmour and is serious at the same side.

    It was more for an intellectual, emotional reader. If you can get fun out of endless pages of jibberish, be my guest.

    I have recently been reading Anne Fine The Flour Babies in my English class, it teaches us to have responsibility for others as well as yourself. It's a boring book, even when I read the introduction I just thought this was going to be fun (not)

    Anne Fine, The Flour Babies is really uninteresting and I wouldn`t recommend it.It is interesting that boys are looking after babies as well as girls. It is extremley boring and in some parts it doesn`t make sense

    The book was very interesting and this is my own reveiw: THE BOOK IS VERY INTERESTING AND EYE CATCHING!
    Simon Martin and Martin Simon got mixed up in classes and the teachers found out so they changed them back. They had to do an experiment for the science fair.
    Mr Cartright made them write there choices for the science fair and all of the class chose the flour babies and they had to write out a diary and look after the flour babies. Simon never found out about his father and they all lived h ...

    Simon is beginning to bond with his Flour Babie. I learn't something new on every page of the Book. But its sad because his father left, it reminds me about my past.

    Simon martin cared a lot for his flour baby. He dressed her up and kept her very clean. He was the star of the project. Simon martin, whose own father walked out on his mother when Simon was only six weeks old, begins to understand just how tough it is to constantly care for a baby. Simon's baby doesn't cry in the night, or need to be fed or changed. Once Simon can understand the emotions that his father must have felt, he can forgive and forget, he doesn't blame his father. He was thinking, per ...

    This book tells the reader of a boy, Simon and his classmates who have a science fair coming up, and they have to look after a bag of FLOUR each for 3 WEEKS!!! Simon (and mother) were also abandoned by his father at a young age, so looking after the flour babies makes Simon wonder if his dad found it to hard to cope when he was a baby. This book tells the reader whether the boys can cope with the bags of flour and whether the flour babies survive!!!!

    'The Flour Babies' by Anne Fine was about a boy called Simon who's Dad walked out on him and his Mum when he was first born. The book joins the story 15 years on, just before an important school project that Simon has to take part in. This project was to look after a bag of flour for 3 weeks as if it was a real baby. The project starts to make Simon realise that being a Father isn't as easy as he thought it was and begins to think that maybe his Dad became scared of the responsibility that came ...
