Book:

There's A Wocket In My Pocket! by Dr. Seuss

This book brings me back to my kindergarten days when I just started learning English. It's a fun way to learn English through a short story with rhymes. There's also a video on YouTube of a rap group called "Migos" reading the book as lyrics on a song that they made, and the words in the book unexpectedly matches with the beat.

I’m Nao, from Japan .

Since I grew up in Japan, many of my childhood memories are connected to Japanese picture books. If I were a picture book character, I think I would be a curious little bear—always exploring, sometimes clumsy, but always learning something new. I hope we can share fun stories together in this class!

2. Title:こぐまちゃん絵本(Little bears Picture book series)

Author and publisher: Ken Wakayama and Aiko Watanabe / KODANSHA

This is a Japanese picture book. I read it many times when I was child.The pictures are very cute and the story is simple. It makes me feel happy and safe.

When I see this book now, I remember my childhood in Japan. That is why this book is very special for me, and I want to share it with you.

I'm a Family Study and Child Development major with a passion for helping others grow. I also love to get creative through art design and K-pop. I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Title: The Giving Tree

Author & Illustrator: Shel Silverstein

Publisher: Harper & Row (1964)

Reason:

I love this book because it’s so simple, yet it carries a deep message about love, sacrifice, and generosity. Every time I read it, I’m reminded of how much parents, teachers, or loved ones give selflessly, often without expecting anything in return.

Personally, I connect with it because it makes me think of my family — how much they’ve given me quietly and unconditionally. It also challenges me to reflect: how can I give back, and how can I show gratitude?

Task2

Title：Helen Keller (from the McDonald’s Happy Meal Readers series)

Why I love it：I first found this book in a McDonald’s Happy Meal, and it really left a strong impression on me. The story of Helen Keller inspired me because she overcame incredible difficulties—being blind and deaf—but still learned to read, write, and inspire millions of people.

I personally connect with this story because sometimes life feels full of challenges, but like Helen Keller, I believe we can always find a way to keep learning and moving forward. Her courage motivates me to never give up

Title: Mr. Men Little Miss

Task 2:

My Favorite Children’s Storybook:

Title: The Giving Tree

Author: Shel Silverstein

Publisher: Harper & Row (1964)

Why I Love This Storybook:

I love The Giving Tree because it shows pure love and sacrifice in the simplest way. It reminds me of my parents, who always give without asking for anything back. The story makes me reflect on gratitude—how important it is to not only take, but also give. That’s why this book always stays close to my heart.

1.My name is Young Huang.

Why I named my English name Young, because I am young.

I am twenty years old.  I am currently studying at 實踐 university. My favorite drink is cola. My favorite food is McDonald's. My zodiac sign is Leo. I like play video games. Nice to meet you .

(二）

1. My favorite storybook is “Three little pigs”

2. The author is Joseph Jacobs, and publisher is British Fairy Tales Collection.

3. This storybook is full of wisdom and knowledge, such as the idea that one should not be lazy and should be proactive in doing anything. Although the Big Bad Wolf can blow down the house with his wind, I don't believe that the Big Bad Wolf's wind is stronger than a typhoon. But it's just a fairy tale, so I think it's funny.

Trying to graduate, I am already late 😞

If I were describe myself,I would say that I’m a introverted person, but I have an artistic side, especially when it comes to music, for me, music is not just a hobby, it more like a way to express my emotions.

The story I want to share is The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. It’s about a little duckling who looks different and is often laughed at, but later grows into a beautiful swan.

I like this story because it shows that being different is not a bad thing—it just means you have your own value. I can relate to it, because I might seem quiet at first, but once people get to know me, they see a more lively side of me.

Hi everyone, I’m 鄭敏秀. If I were an animal, I’d be a cat—curious, observant, and always finding comfort in small things.

Task 2

① The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

②  Author: Lyman Frank Baum

Publisher: George M. Hill Company

④ I first read this story at a clinic. There were a lot of storybooks on the shelves, but this was the only one that caught my eye because of its beautiful cover.(Not the cover of the image I uploaded)

And I also like the main characters' journey. They think they are missing courage, a heart, or a brain, but the whole time, they are showing how brave, loving, and clever they really are.

Task 2 Book name: the monster

Author: Bel richarson

Why: The author uses the story of the monster as a metaphor for the psychological struggles of teenage depression. I think the idea is very interesting to me.

If I were a color, I would be black. Simple and calm.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

1. By Eric Carle, published by World Publishing Company

2. It is simple, colorful, and fun to read. The story shows how a tiny caterpillar grows into a beautiful butterfly, and it reminds me that growth takes time and patience. I connect with this story because, like the caterpillar, I’m also learning and transforming every day. It teaches me to enjoy small steps, because they lead to big changes.

   
   

2. 鱷魚愛上長頸鹿

3. 采實文化

4. I like this book because its content teaches me the importance of embracing differences. Through the story, I learned how empathy, problem-solving, and the ability to complement each other are essential in building love and harmonious relationships.

5. The Crocodile Falls in Love with the Giraffe” is a sweet picture book about two very different animals. Even though their differences cause challenges, they learn to live happily together with love and creativity.

1) Title: The Little Prince

2) Author & Publisher: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Reynal & Hitchcock (English version)

4) Why I love this storybook:

I love The Little Prince because it shows that friendship, love, and imagination are most important. It also reminds me to stay curious and kind.

“The Giving Tree,” by Shel Silverstein.

It’s a very simply story about a boy and a tree. The tree loves the boy so much that it gives him everything he needs.

I loved this book so much that I even draw the face expression for the tree. It reminds me my grandmom, who takes care of me and my younger sister even till today.

I shall claim the crown amidst countless fleeting passions

1 the little prince

2 Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry

3 I love The Little Prince because it uses the language of a fairy tale to show the deepest loneliness and love in the adult world. The gentle thoughts in the story remind us to keep a pure heart, to value friendship, love, and responsibility, instead of only chasing surface things.

2. （1）The very hungry caterpillar

(2)Author: Erie Carle

(3)Publisher: Penguin Group

(4)One caterpillar is very hungry. Therefore, it eat a lot of food. It become fatter and fatter. I like it because it is the most impression book in my childhood. The picture is also cute.

It's too long so please call me Yama

book name:Swimmy

Author:Leo Lionni

Publisher:Alfred A. Knopf

What the auther wants to convey:

・The importance of working together with colleagues, the beauty of leadership,

・the importance of recognizing the beauty of life and being resilient,

・the importance of thinking about your own role and problems.

"Hi everyone! I am Cindy I really love playing ball, even though I’m pretty short. That just makes me easier to recognize in class — I’m the small one who’s always ready for a game.

2.

(1)The Three Little Pigs

(2)Paul Galdone

(3)"I used to be someone who often felt lazy about troublesome tasks or wanted to take shortcuts—for example, rushing through things without paying much attention to details. This story reminds me that investing time and effort in preparation and persistence is truly worthwhile. And every time I see the third little pig’s house standing strong and unshaken, I think: if I could be like that pig—staying committed and careful with important things such as goals, learning, and relationships—I would feel much more secure."

My favorite children storybook is called The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The Author is Eric Carle, and it washes published by Penguin Putnam. I don’t really remember what the content was about but the artwork was really impressive. The color of use is amazing.

The picture book I've really liked since I was a kid is called “100層樓的家”. The author is 岩井俊雄. The reason I like this book is that it personates animals (ants, mice, etc.) that live underground. It has a hundred floods, each floor shows a different species or habitat, with a little girl as the protagonist taking the reader on an adventure.

It has been published into cartoons, and in my childhood I always watched the cartoons.

Now as an adult and major in early childhood education, it is still a series of books i will recommend, because not just visually it is childlike and cute but also contents are always related to childhood memories such as never want to go to bed or hate to eat tomatoes…etc.

Text 1:

"Hi, I'm 陳睿澤 like a morning cup of tea:

warm, calm, and ready to start something good. I enjoy learning, trying new things, and adding a little spark wherever I go. Not perfect, just always growing!"

Text2: <Fantastic Mr. Fox>

Summary:
Mr. Fox lives happily in the forest with his family. But one day, the farmer, who doesn’t like Mr. Fox taking his chickens, decides to catch him. The farmer tries many ways to trap Mr. Fox, but Mr. Fox is very clever and always finds a way to escape. Using his smart ideas and quick thinking, Mr. Fox outsmarts the farmer again and again. In the end, Mr. Fox keeps his family safe and even teaches the farmer a little lesson about kindness and respect.

Fantastic Mr. Fox teaches us the importance of cleverness and creativity to solve problems. It shows how loyalty to family motivates us to keep going, even in tough situations. The story also highlights bravery and never giving up, plus the value of sharing and working together as a community to overcome challenges.

My hobby is swimming.

2.Winnie the Pooh

Alan Alexander Mien

2:book: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Author: William Ivan Martin Jr

Link: https://youtu.be/E7tvOtt1itA

I like the story that have pictures on it. And the stroy introduces many animals. Children can learn a lot about animals.

Book：

1. Title:Little Red Riding Hood）

2. By Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm.

3. Because Little Red Riding Hood teaches us not to easily believe strangers, it is very educational, and the story content is also quite interesting. I also learned from this book when I was a child not to easily believe strangers.

1. Title: The House with 100 Stories

2. Author: Toshiba Iwai

3. The reason I choose this story book is because, it is colorful, full of imaginations, and it’s easy to understand. Also, it is flipped vertically. With these features, children would love it.

   
   

1) The Happy Prince

2) Oscar Wilde

3）-------

4)I love its lively character designs and the illustration's style is lovely. And I love the end of the story, it is not happy ending. In reality, not every time you did good things get positive feedback. And I think it is important to tell kids this, it's normal when the things happened. Children should not give up doing good deeds after being hurt or discouraged.

I am Japanese🇯🇵

I love babble milk tea!

Nice to meet you!

2. This is my one of the most favorite books.

The title is “Moko Moko Moko”.

The text has only onomatopoeia.

I remember that I was very fun to read aloud.

Title: Buscuit

Author & Publisher: Alyssa Satin Capucilli & Harper Collins

I like this Biscuit loves the Park because it’s a sweet and simple story that shows the joy of everyday adventures. Biscuit is a lovable, curious puppy, and watching him explore the park is heartwarming.

Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me

https://youtu.be/sGqAw7UM6qo?feature=shared

The author is Eric Carle

I really love this picture book because the moment I saw the title, I thought it was so cool. Could a dad really give her the moon? It's cool that the girl chose the moon, and her dad actually gave it to her, which brought her so much happiness. It makes me feel grateful for my family, who always try their best to meet my needs.

2.Title: むしばミュータンスのぼうけん

Published: かこさとし

Why I love this story:

The books shows how brushing teeth can fight against Mutans and protect our health. It is fun, a little scary, and very memorable for children.

When I was a child, I really disliked brushing my teeth. This story, however, changed me. The character of Mutans is a little scary, but that made the story unforgettable. Through this adventure, I learned the importance of brushing my teeth every day.That’s why it’s very special to me.

Today, I’d like to share my favorite children’s storybook.

Title: パンどろぼう (Bread Thief)

Author: 柴田ケイコ (Shibata Keiko)

Publisher: KADOKAWA

I first discovered this book in a bookstore one day. I was immediately attracted by its unique title and the funny-looking mouse on the cover. After reading it, I was fully entertained by the vivid illustrations and the quirky storyline. As a bread lover myself, I could totally relate to the main character’s feelings.

The story’s moral is simple but meaningful: achievements bring true pride and joy only when you put real effort into them.

Task 2

1. Book name: Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?

2. Author: Bill Martin Jr./Eric Carle , Publisher: Doubleday & Company (later: Henry Holt and Company, Inc.) (1967)

3. This book is interesting when I read it. The author used different animals and people to attract readers’ eyes. I read this book when I was a kindergarten student. It’s easy for lower grade students to understand color and animals.

Title: 100 Storey

Author: 岩井俊雄

Publisher: 北京科學技術出版社
