BR 2-06: What's Alive? (Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld, 1995)

"Do you know how to tell if something is a living thing or not?"

Everything is living, I think. For example, book. New books are so clean and fresh, so I think the book is very young like baby or child. However, my mother's book is so old, so it is tattered or yellowish. In other words, I think the old book is just like the aged.

In the world, there are the newborn or fresh things, and there are the old things. However, everything is living both newborn and old. We often get newborn things after dumping old things. People never forget that everything is living. People should think a great deal of everything.

"It's good to be home again"

In this book, both the country mouse and the town mouse experienced each other's living. At first, they hanker after unknown life, but they perceived now themselves' life was the best at last.

I think people hanker after unknown things, for example, other planet etc... However, I like my life or other things around me, so I don't think new things always makes people happy. I think people should perceive good points of themselves life or other things around themselves.

However, I hanker after single life....

"They put on the new clothes and they dance. Dance, dance, dance!"

I read this book for the first time when I was in hospital. That day, I was always lonely. However, my older sister gave me this book. I had loved this book because my lonely heart made me fluffy by this story. This story was that goodwill make other person happy so I read this book again and again.

By this book, we can learn that goodwill makes goodwill and happy. Also, we can learn that effort never goes unrewarded. I think that people should effort with their goodwill for making somebody or themselves happy.

BR 2-03: Down Comes The Rain (Franklyn M. Branley, 1983)

"After rain comes down, the sun comes out and dries the puddles."

By reading this book, I remembered that I thought clouds was cotton candy when I was younger. Of course, all clouds are made of billions of tiny drops of water. Then, how these do clouds make? Inside of this book, there are the answers. The heat from the sun has turned it into water vapor. It has evaporated. Eventually, this moisture in the air condenses to form new clouds. 

When I was child, I told that rain is the God's tears by my grandmother. After I knew rain system, I feel her words is romantic. So, I like her thought better than fact.
