BR8 The fish that talked


The fish sparkled with a silvery light. (p.6)

I wish there were the fish that talked  because I had goldfish, so if there were talking fish, I thought that it was very interesting.
I was surprised that the fish turned out a powerful god. This story has its setting in India. Therefore, it was the Hindu god. 
I also thought that suppose Manu hadn't help the fish.

BR7 Hansel & Gretel



The walls were made from chunks of cake and the roof was glistening chocolate.(p. 30)


I knew about this story a little. But I didn't know a whole story, so I read it.
I thought Hansel and Gretel were clever and strong children. They were bullied by their stepmother and got dumped. However, they beat their brain and they could survive. I thought both of them were very courageous because they survived by themselves. 
Finally, it was good that they could eat feast every night and live with their father.

BR6 Romeo & Juliet


He had spotted a beautiful girl in a pink and cream dress and he couldn't take his eyes off her. (p.14)


I chose this book because I am studying about Shakespeare, so I am interested in his productions. I almost knew the content of Romeo&Juliet. But I read this book for the first time, and I know this story in detail. Finally, both Romeo and Juliet died, but Montague and Capulet heal relationships and Romeo and Juliet were buried side by side. I didn't know this last scene.

BR5 The berenstain bears' seashore treasure


It says this place used to be called Pirates Cove! (p.11)


I chose this book because I like bears. This family of bears is very cute and they get along well. I thought it was very nice that Papa Bear had a leadership to hunt for treasure. Finally, they couldn't find a treasure, but Papa left the treasure map for next Papa because the map was interesting and good for communicating with children. I like this last scene.
