As soon as Frog knows it, he goes back to his house and writes a letter to Toad to please Toad. He asks a snail to take the letter to Toad’s house. The Snail walks slowly, so he takes so long time to hand the letter, and Toad continues being disappointed. However, Toad finally gets Frog’s letter, then he feels really happy. At beginning of the book, Toad thinks he doesn’t have any friends to send me a mail, but actually, he has had a best friend already. This book isn’t so special, but this book teaches children that everyone has someone to be with them and be on their side. Children can learn what friendship is like and feel the warmth of people.

The little nutbrown hare tries to express its love to the big one with its body, but the big nutbrown has bigger body, of course, so the little one tries many times to express its love as bigger as it can, which is so cute. We recommend this book because real human parent and child could have such conversation. It is so heartwarming when kids try to express their love bigger than their parents. ]]> 2021-11-25 15:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1912807136 Yurara Kaneko and Nanako Matsui The book name is Swimmy written by Leo Lionni https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1913431997 Little fish lived happily in a sea. They were all red beside a black one. It was Swimmy. One day, a giant tuna attacked them. Only Swimmy escaped. Swimmy kept swimming with fear and found many things. In that time, Swimmy met little fish brothers similar to Swimmy hiding from giant fish. They tried to swim all together like the biggest fish, and they succeeded in throwing them out.
This story shows us the magnificent sea world, from beautiful things existing in the life of the sea to fear and isolation. I recommend this book because we can learn the power of cooperation and the importance of friends and families.]]> 2021-11-26 01:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1913431997 The Berenstain Bears And The Spooky Old Tree-by Stan and Jan Berenstain / Ayumi Ito https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1915184636 This story features three little bears. One with a light, one with a stick, and one with a rope. As soon as they leave the house, they find a spooky old tree. Do they go into that tree? They go into that tree. They then find a twisty old stair. Do they go up that tree? They go up that tree. They use a rope in that scene. Next, they find a moving wall. Of course they go in. They use a stick in this scene. And they find a great sleeping bear. Of course they go over the bear. In this scene, the light is used up, and three little bears use up all their weapons. I recommend this book because children can learn how to challenge everything and the importance of cooperating with everyone. ]]> 2021-11-27 07:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1915184636 An and Rena-The book name is Harry The Dirty Dog written by Gene Zion 25120081 https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1916979297 Harry was a white dog with black spots. He hated the shower and ran away from home. He played in the town and became a black dog. He came home, but his family couldn't recognize the black dog as Harry. He took a bath and his family was glad to find him. The painting this book makes special because children can find Harry in the illustration. Especially in the town, it is fun to see the detail of the situation. This story shows family love with a dog. I want to recommend this book because I think this story makes readers comfortable feeling.]]> 2021-11-29 03:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1916979297 Yurina and Nahoko - Owen https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1917751150 Owen has been with his beloved blanket since he was a baby. owen's parents want him to give up the blanket when he starts school soon. mrs.tweezers advice is followed, but it doesn't work and his mother makes a handkerchief out of the blanket. The story goes that the mother made a handkerchief out of the blanket so that she could carry the blanket with her. In this story, the parents did not suddenly take away the blanket, but used it to make a handkerchief. From this, we can learn that even if one method doesn't work, we can always try another. Also, just as you can't be with your blanket everywhere all the time, you can learn that you can't be in the same state all the time, and that sometimes things don't go the way you want them to.]]> 2021-11-29 12:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1917751150 Makino Sone and Yumeka Fusegi- Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans https://padlet.com/labensohn/us640x61g7a5ojsu/wish/1918014220 This story is about one little brave girl.  There are twelve girls, and they are in two rows, and one of the girls was resistant to animals and cold her name is Madeline.

When the other girls visited her, she looked happy, showed her wounds, and boasted to everyone. Everyone yearned for the brave girl, and everyone started crying at night.
