Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

   This story is really famous! When I was in kindergarten, I played the role of Alice in oyugikai, show dramas and music to our parents . But, people who acted Alice were 5 ...maybe. It was really good and rare memory because I
   In this story, Alice became smaller, met mysterious animals and creatures, and experienced in this adventure. My favorite character is Cheshire Cat. He is always grinning weirdly. Only grinning are left when he disappears. It's strange but very interesting!
   It is said that the writer of this story, Lewis Carroll, told it to his freind' daughter. If I would have people like him, I would have like dreaming my own world.

Swimmy

    I'll introduce one picture book. It is "Swimmy" written by Leo Lionni. In Japan, it is famous as Shuntaro Tanikawa' translation.
   This book is the story about a small black fish called Swimmy. He swims really fast. Also, though his brothers are red, only he is black. They lived together, but everyone except Swimmy were caught by a big fish...
   About 4 months ago, I read this for the first time. Every picture in this book is so beautiful! The most impressive scene is that Swimmy swims alone on the edge of big sea. At that time, Swimmy felt the difference of sizes betwwen world and himself.
   I'd recommend reading "Swimmy". If you don't like reading books, maybe you have many feelings when only looking at.


   Thank you for youe reading.
