There is a book I have read and it has a dragon in it. It is called if I had a dragon. It is similar than the book Awarua the taniwha of porirua. They are both fiction books. This dragon does the same thing as what Awarua did. It likes to fly. This dragon flies with his best friend. The dragon will likes flying so he flies around the world.	The top of Mana island is flat because when Awarua the taniwha was trying to learn how to fly. He failed and crashed into the island.	As a New Zealander I like this book because it tells us where Awarua crashed and it shows a picture as well. It shows a good version of the flat mountain

Today for Reading we read a book called Awarua The Taniwha Of Porirua. We read one paragraph each. After that we explained happened about Awarua. Our task was to use the given template we were given and write a text similar to Awarua and connect with Awarua The Taniwha Of Porirua , Explain why the Mana Island is flat , and write down why as a New Zealander would you like or not like the book. This was a interesting task. It was pretty easy as well. I learnt where Awarua crashed which was Mana Island which is in Porirua Wellington.
