Title: Who Is Neil Armstrong?
Author: Roberta Edward
No. of pages: 100 pages
Genre: biography

Book summary
This story by Roberta Edward is about an astronaut. His name was Neil Armstrong(1930~2012), and he was the very first person to set foot on the moon. 
He loved to make his own model planes. He took his first plane ride when he was only six. Neil belonged to a Boy Scout troop for many years. Neil was determined to fly. When he was 21 years old, the Apollo 11 rocket blastoff. One and half hours later, it was time for the rocket to touch down on the moon. Neil and Buzz could only spend two and a half hours on the moon because of the limited supply of oxygen in their tanks. The astronauts collected moon rocks, took photographs, and planted an American flag. 

Book review
My most favorite character (person) was Neil Armstrong. Because he earned money for going to college by himself and he tried his best for his life. 
My opinion for this story is only one. I think that the illustrator should color on the pictures because if the he color on them, it will be more beautiful. 
I got massage from this story. It was never give up even I met terrible things. Why I got this massage from this story? Because Neil's daughter had died  because of her cancer. There was a tumor deep inside her brain. But Neil never stop his work, so I got this massage from this story. 

I want to recommend this book to my father. Because he has interest to astronauts.

Title: Knowledge Masters "How your body work"
Author: Christopher Maynard, Janet De Saulles and Hazel Songhurst
No. of pages: 31 pages
Genre: Non-fiction

Book summary
This book by three writers is about how our bodies work. It explained many parts in our bodies and how do they work. There are many important part in our bodies and we should know how do they work because we have to take care for our bodies. This book tells us about;
Why do we have bones?
The way we move
Outer wrapping
Brain power
Super cells
What is blood?
All about breathing etc.

Book review
My favorite part in this book is a chapter which the writers are explaining about why do we need to sleep. I had a doubt about that question before I read this book , but i already understood why do we need to sleep. 
We spend about one third of our life asleep. While we sleep, we rest more than at any other time. Our bodies don't waste sleeping time- it has plenty to do while we are snoozing. Our brains are still busy at night. They send messages to make sure that we breathe and our hearts beat regularly while we are asleep. In the morning, part of our brain sends out a wake-up call!
The amount of sleep we need depends on our age. When we are young, our bodies are growing and need more sleep. A newborn baby can sleep for up to 20 hours a day.  At the age of four, children need 10 to 14 hours sleep. By the time we are nine, we might sleep for about nine hours a night. Adults don't need as much sleep as children.
My opinion for this book is none. There is many explains in detail and many pictures, so the readers can understand easily. 
A message which I got from this book was we have to take care of our bodies and for ourselves because there are many handicapped people in this world. 

Conclusion
I want to recommend this book to my friend because there are a lot of interest explanations and fun stories in this book.
I think that my little sister (P2) wants to read this book because she really loves fun and interest stories. ]]> 2018-11-01 12:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/299313558 yu_nishiyama_1172031 https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/300894710 Book details
Title: Rags and riches
Author: Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie Pope Boyce
No. of pages: 118 pages
Genre: Non-fiction

Book summary
This book by Mary Pope Osborne is about rags and riches. But this story is from kids in the time of Charles Dickens. The famous writer Charles Dickens lived in London much of his life. He often took walks around the city. Sometimes he covered over twenty miles in a single day. As he strolled down the streets, he saw how the poor lived. He listened to the way they spoke and watched how they acted. Charles wrote book about many of these people, especially poor children who had hard lives. He died in 1870. Thousands filed by his grave, covering it with flowers. He had written about the terrible conditions in workhouses and their need for schools and medical care. He had also written about the need for better housing and a cleaner city. Thanks to Charles's work and the work of many others, life for the poor began to improve.

Book review
My favorite part in this book is the explaining  of Charles Dickens's life because I had interest for his life and I want to save and take care of the poor people like him. 
My opinion for this book is the writer should use more pictures of Charles because there is only few real pictures of Himself in this book. If the writer did so, I think that this story and book become more interest. 
The massage which i got from this book is we have to try to save and take care of the poor people. There is many children who work in the factory very long time in the world. 

Conclusion
I want to recommend this book to our family because I respect himself and his care for the poor people. ]]> 2018-11-06 10:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/300894710 yu_nishiyama_1172031 https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/326197433 Book details

 Book summary
 This book by R.J. Palacio is about a boy named August. And, actually, he is not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. When he was in his mom's stomach, no one had any idea I would come out looking the way he looks. About two month before he was born, the doctors realized there was something wrong with his face, but they didn't think it was going to be bad. When he came out of Mom's stomach, his mom said whole room got quiet. Mom didn't even get a chance to look at him because the nurse immediately rushed me out of the room. The author didn't mention how is he look like, but I could image it. So, at the first, his mother was teaching him in their house. But, he began to go to previous school. When he began to go to school, everyone was staring at him and whispering about him. But, a girl named Summer, was the student who became friend with him. 
 He will have a lot of problem and happening, but he overcome the problems with his friends.
 
 Book review
 My favorite part in this book is the last part. The last part is about his graduation ceremony of fifth-grade. When he began the school, he always hated the school, but he noticed that he is loving his school and his friends so much. He felt so happy. And at the very last part, he received the award. And he couldn't believe it. 
 I liked this part for the best because I surprised when he got the award and i was very proud that I was reading this book.
 My opinion for this book is nothing. Just nothing. I felt like this story is enough to feel surprise and excitement. I thought that that it why this book became first New York Times Bestseller.
 The massage which I got from this story was we mustn't stare too much for not ordinary people. I learned they hurt so much if the other people do that.
 
 Conclusion
 Since this book is mine, I want to read this book again and again. This is my favorite English book I've ever read.
 I also want to recommend my family to read this book.]]> 2019-01-31 10:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/326197433 yu_nishiyama_1172031 https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/326197567 Book details

 Book review
 My favorite part in this story is when the girls helped a little fawn. He was so shy to get out from bush, but they encouraged him to go out, and he came out from the bush.

My opinion for this book is to include more details and write the story longer. But, I still like this story.

Book summary
This very interesting book by Mary Pope Osborne is about a magic tree house.
One day in Frog Creek, a mysterious tree house appeared in the woods. Eight-year-old Jack and his seven-year-old sister, Annie, climbed into the tree house. They found that it was filled with books. They soon discovered that the tree house was magic. It could take them to the places in the books. All they had to do was point to a picture and wish to go there. (From the prologue)
One day, in a raining midnight, Jack and Annie went to the woods because they heard the rain was saying "Come on now!". And they found the tree house on a huge tree, but they didn't see Morgan who is the owner of the tree house, and also their friend. When they climbed into the tree house, they found a small dog which looks like a terrier puppy.
In this story, they were on the Titanic ship with the puppy after they said: we wish we could go there. Annie named the puppy Teddy.
Their mission was to save everyone on the Titanic from the sinking of the ship. When Jack red about the history of Titanic from the book, there was the information that the low-level people on the ship drowned and only high-level people was saved. So Jack and Annie tried to save all the people before the sinking of the ship. When they were trying to save people, they met a girl and a little boy.

But, when they came back to the woods, Teddy was gone even though he was in the tree house when Jack and Annie said: we wish we could go back to our house.
But, they understood why he was gone somehow, and they went back to their comfortable and dried house. 

Book review
My favorite part in this book is when Jack and Annie realized the the tree house was gone. I chose this part as my favorite because it was the most thrilling part in this story.
My opinion for this book is to include some fun part not only the serious part.
The massage which I got from this story is something that is unbelievable might happen. I got this massage from this story because everyone believed and didn't doubt that the Titanic ship never sink but it did. I was really interested in the information that no one doubt about the Titanic ship wasn't sinkable.

Conclusion
I'll definitely recommend this book to my sister because I think she likes adventure stories, and also this book is not too thick, so she can read the book easily.]]> 2019-02-07 10:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/328663099 yu_nishiyama_1172031 https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/352471638 Book details

Title: The Cat Who Came In Off The Roof
Author: Annie M.G. Schmidt
No. of pages: 158 pages
Genre: Fantasy

Book summary
This is a story about a young lady and a boy. The boy's name was Tibble. Tibble is a reporter who really loves cats. Minou is a cat. Or rather- she used to be a cat. Now she is a young woman who hates dogs, likes rooftops, loves the fishmonger, and has just moved in to Tibble's house. She can talk to the cats because she used to be a cat. Tibble was a reporter, but he was too shy to ask something to people, and he could only write the articles about CATS. Nothing else. Minou helped Tibble by getting news from stray cats. A lot of problem happened in this story, but Tibble could solve everything by the helping of Minou.  
At the last of the story, Tibble had became very brave. He wasn't shy anymore. And Minou met her sister, and her sister said to Minou to be a cat again. Her sister found the way how to fix her. But Minou came back to Tibble. She chose to stay with Tibble, and talk to Tibble. Everyone, including every stray cat, were happy.

Book review
My favorite part in this story was the part when Minou and Tibble solved the biggest problem in this story. A man named Ellmore was the owner of the factory, and he was very important for the citizens. One day, he became the president of The Animal Lovers' Association. Everyone was thinking that he loves animals and takes care of the animals. But it was wrong. He hit a stray mother cat with the wine bottle, and threw the kittens into the trash bin. Tibble heard this from Minou, and Minou heard this from a stray cat. It was true, so he wrote about it on the article. However, no one believed because they were respecting Mr. Ellmore so much. Tibble wanted to make everyone believe but it was too hard. 
While that, Minou had an idea and she was successful. She could take pictures. By the helping of Minou, everyone noticed that Tibble was right. No one believed Mr. Ellmore anymore.
The part that I really liked in this book was the picture on the cover page. There is a picture of a cat, and it's so cute. It is one of my reason that I wanted to read this book. 
The message I got from this story is that we have to take care of the animals and they are very precious.

Conclusion
I'll recommend this book to my friends because there're a lot of important and precious message in this book.
I think my sister wants to read this book because she is looking for some good English books.

Title: Who Was Helen Keller
Author: Gare Thompson
No. of pages: 104 pages
Genre: Biography

Book summary
This is a biography of Helen Keller, who is deaf and blind. She lived in a silence, and dark world, but she had changed the world.
Born more that 100 years ago, Helen learned to speak and read and write. Those may not sound like great accomplishments. But Helen Keller was both deaf and blind. Imagine that your ears are stuffed with cotton, and your eyes are covered by a blindfold. Your world is dark and silent. This was Helen's world.  When Helen grew up, few deaf people learned how to speak. There were very few schools for deaf and blind children. Few blind people learned how to read and write. Helen Keller not only did both, but also did much more. She wrote several best-selling books. And she gave lectures around the world. She showed that her handicaps had not held her back. Above all, she gave hope to other people who, like her, could not hear or see.

Book review
My favorite part of this book is the part when Helen understood that words stood for things. At a water pump. Helen held her mug under the tap. Annie Sullivan, her teacher, pumped out the cold water and spelled water in Helen's hand. Helen dropped the mug. A look of water filled her face. Helen spelled back water several times to Annie. Later in her autobiography, Helen wrote, 'Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought.'
I was so surprised because I didn't know that a blind girl could understand things.
The message I got from this story was that a deaf and blind person changed the world,  but I'm not doing any big things even I can see, and hear everything. I will try my best to do something like her like helping others somehow.

Conclusion
I'll recommend this book to my classmates because this is a wonderful book, also very easy to understand. They can know and understand Helen Keller's amazing life. 
I think my sister wants to read this book because when I was reading this book, she was very interested in Helen Keller. I'll suggest to her to go to the library, and borrow this book.]]> 2019-05-08 12:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/357998130 yu_nishiyama_1172031 https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/358730398 Book details

This book by Daisy Meadows is about 2 girls who saved Fairy Land. In Fairy Land, a lot of fairies are living there, and 2 girls are the important friends to the fairies. The 2 girls are called Rachel and Kirsty. They can be fairy by the magic of their fairy friends! But, the goblins are destroying the sweets. All sweets are tastes terrible because of the magic of goblins. In this story, 2 girls change into fairies, and save fairies from goblins.

Book review
My favorite part in this story is the part when the girls take tour in a factory that is making delicious sweets. In this tour, they look around the factory and taste some sweets, but they tasted horrible because of the magic of goblins. I like this part because it is the beginning of their adventure, and I was so excited to guess what is going to happen next.
My opinion for this book is to add colors to the book and make the adventure longer so that the reader of this book will be more excited to read.
The message I got from this story is that cooperation is important. The 2 girls cooperated each other well, and also with the fairies.  

Conclusion
I recommend this book to my friends because of the exciting adventure it has in the book.]]> 2019-05-10 02:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/yu_nishiyama_117203/l8vrt05pajkd/wish/358730398
