BR 2-10: Penguins

When I was an elementary school student, I was interested in penguins very much. Also, my mother did. So, I often read books and movies about penguins. In addition, I went to a penguin aquarium in Nagasaki at that time. I learned a lot of kinds of penguins and how they live from them. As I read this book, my memories about penguins came back. Penguins are very cute but not only cute. They live among the severe environment. After reading this book, I felt that I' like to see penguins!!

BR 2-06: The Musician of Bremen

" 'Let's run away! We can go to Bremen and join the town band.' said the four friends"

I didn't know about the story well. I knew only the characters(animals), an ass, a dog, a cat and a chicken.  I thought the animals become musicians before I read this book. However, they never become musicians at last. I was surprised they decided to join the town band to stop their owner's mean action. Each of them were cruelly treated by different mean actions. So their backgrounds looked like. Because of that, they may be able to be in unison.
