BR12 Princess Polly and the pony

"Being a princess is boring," said Princess Polly. (p. 5)


I like Princess Polly because even if she is a princess, she is very active and natural. Also she is honest with herself and she did what she wanted to do even if it was not allowed to do by her parents. For her parents, she might be a trouble, but I like her character.

BR11 The burglar's breakfast

Alfie Briggs was a burglar. But he wasn't a good one.(P.3)

Although he was a burglar, I thought he was a kind burglar because he knew how people felt when they had stolen and he clean up his act. And I like him because he became a detective using his good points which were found by being robbed. And I was glad since he cut his ties with a burglar.

BR10 The runaway pancake

But the pancake didn't want to be eaten. It jumped right out of the pan and rolled out of the door. (p.7)


I thought that this story was similar to the song of "Oyoge Taiyaki kun". It was funny because not only people but also animals were running only to catch this pancake. Also, I felt interesting that the pancake didn't want to be eaten. But I felt little sad because the pancake was eaten easily by a shifty pig in the end.

Picture

There are two people. One is a man, and the other is a woman. The woman is standing and the man is sitting on her left side. She wears a blue sleeveless dress and a white necklace. She also wears earrings. Her hair is short and its color is black. The man is clothed in a striped shirt. The colors of the stripes are red, blue, and yellow. On the shirt, he puts on a khaki jacket, and jeans. He has brown long hair and designer stubble. He puts his left hand on the woman's left shoulder. His right hand is on his knee. He leans on a post. Both of them are smiling looking into the camera.

BR9 The scaredy cat

Everyone called him Scaredy Cat...
...because he was scared of everything. ( p.3)


I like him because he was scare too easily. It was funny because Stanley, Scaredy Cat, was even afraid of mice though he was a cat. But one day, he got over his cowardice. He wasn't afraid of anything, so I felt little lonely. However it was good that he wasn't called a scaredy cat ever again.
