I will introduce about this picture book. Do you remember the day when you saw heavy snow for the first time? Oliver and Amanda are children pigs. One day, it was snow day. They have seen snow for the first time. They put dress warm, a lot of sweaters, snowsuits, scarves, woolly hats and mittens. Outside, everything looked different background. They threw snowballs. I think we play with snowballs in snow day too. Their father helps them and they had made a pile of snow even taller than father. His father and mother were very kind. They have hot hart. Amanda and Oliver became like snow. Oliver was sitting on the snow pile making a hundred snowballs. When I was a junior high school student, I made a lot of snowballs and I threw each my friend in school’s ground. They made Snow Mountain and they digging a hole. Oliver made s flag out of his bat and stick. Then a snowball hit the flag. I have never made a Snow Mountain because it is never heavy snow in Kumamoto. I want to make it once a alive. In addition, Oliver went to zooming down the big hill on sled. Oliver said “Let’s make a sandwich. This mean is mother on the bottom, than Amanda, than me”. Amanda is the peanut butter and the others are the bread. This idea is so cute. Then, they build a snow pig. Every morning they looked out the windows at their snorp. It got smaller and smaller. I have experienced it when I was a child. I enjoy made a snowman but next day, it melt and it became smaller. I read this book, I feel happy. I remember my children’s memory of snowy day.

BR-12*Bears odd, bears even

Which number is odd? Which is even? (P6)

There are four white bears and five brown bears. Polar bears playing an even number. Brown bears playing an odd number. This book is number playing. Even number is 2, 4, 6, 8… Odd number is 1, 3, 5, 7… Six bears play tug-of-war. Three against tree’s winner is brown bears. Because of three is odd number. When odd bears fight, brown bears always win. When even bears fight, white bears always win. This book can enjoy study numbers for children. However, I feel little scary this picture. This bears’ pictures are not cute but this story is very good for everyone.

One day, he built a monster trip and as soon as his monster trip had worked. Although, he listened a tiny voice and he saw smallest monster in the world.

BR-07:China

"Buddhists also believe in karma. Do good things, and good things will happen to you." (p26)

I think I came to be familiar with China to read this picture book. At first, China is one of the biggest country in the world. Do you know the thing? Besides, China is a country with a population of 1.3 billions. That is, both the population and the area are the biggest of the world. And Beijing is the capital city. I have never been to China so I want to go there to read this book. The reason why I want to go China is because living in China seems to be in good spirits. It really sounds fun! It is said that the busiest and biggest cities in China is Shanghai. According to picture of this book, I thought that it also sounds fun to go out around this city. On the other hands, I found some bad points. It is the number of people. I was really surprised at people living there and going out around Shanghai. what is more, a number of people uses bicycles to get from place to place. It may be difficult for people who begins to live for the first time there to be used to live. when it comes to their public holidays, Kite-flying is popular in China. I didn't know this word. It may be Chinese word I think. There are a lot of words I didn't know until I begin to read this book. But you know reading this book is absolutely good for me. Also the differences between Japan and China exists a lot. Each way to spend at New Year is different. But same things also exists. Being able to live in peace is same. That is, both Japan and China spends in peace without war. I think we should feel grateful for it. That's exactly the same thing.          322/5866
