BR 1-09 The Little Match girl (Hans Christian Andersen, 2012)

"When a star falls, a soul is going up to god."
This book's story is very sad. The little match girl's parents are very cruel. I hate them because they made little girl sell a lot of match. I think why her parents don't work and they make their daughter sell matches. In addition, she sells the match, but no one buy it. It is very poor. Finally, the little girl was cold and dead, so I feel very sad. However, she didn't spend hard time before she is dead because they are with god, so she isn't cold, or hungry, or afraid. In addition, she stay there with her grandmother who the little girl love before she was dead. I was moved the scene that she was dead with smiling.

BR 1-08 Animal Hide and Seek (Penny Smith, 2006)

Animal Hide and Seek book cover
 "Camouflage and this hides them from their enemies"
There are a lot of camouflage animal in this book. They camouflage like their surroundings to live by themselves. I think the wild world is fierce because if I don't camouflage, I will be killed by other animals for food. In this book, It is hard for me to see camouflaged animals. For example, there is the hare in this book. In summer, the snowshoe hare has res brown fur, but in winter, its fur grows thick and white. It is very wonderful! In addition, in the shade of the woods, a little fawn lies sleeping next to a tree. Its spotted coat makes it look like a pile of fallen leaves. I think they are very smart. In the wild, animals spend hard time to live.
