ARTHUR TRICKS THE TOOTH FAIRY

I read the book "ARTHUR TRICKS THE TOOTH FAIRY." I like this series. But I don't like Arthur so much. Arthur looks not so cute, I think. Anyway, I like this series.
One day Arthur waved a dollar. He was gave it by the Tooth Fairy. The Tooth Fairy took baby teeth and left money. Arthur thought the Tooth Fairy has many old teeth and she makes a castle which is made of the teeth. Arthur's thinking is wonderful. The next morning, D.W. said that her teeth lost. But that was not true. She wanted to be taken her teeth by the Tooth Fairy and give a money. After the school, Arthur went home and he found it that is strange in his house. D.W. tried to pull her teeth. But she couldn't. Then she talked with her mother about her teeth. She wanted to go the dentist to pull her teeth. But her teeth were perfect. So the dentist didn't pull her teeth. Another day, their mother took them to the museum. And end of that, her mother said, "You can each buy one little thing." Arthur looked at everything. D.W. wanted just one thing. She had an idea. That night, D.W. wanted to go to bed early. The day she gave shark's teeth from her mother. Her idea was that she was going to trick the Tooth Fairy with her shark's teeth. When Arthur heard that, he decided to help the Tooth Fairy. D.W. put her shark's teeth under the pillow. After she slept, Arthur pick her shark's teeth and put a money under the pillow.
The next day, D.W. shouted. She thought she could trick the Tooth Fairy. She thought she would trick the Tooth Fairy again.
I think Arthur is so kind. He is good brother. I also have a good elder brother. He lives in Tokyo. I hope his success. This book made me warm. Thank you.

The Go-kart Race

I read the book "The Go-kart Race." It was so interesting for me.
Wilma and Biff found a notice about a go-kart race. Wilma told Biff an idea about the race. They told Mum about the race. Mum found the old go-kart. But it looked broken. Biff told Dad about the race. Then they they made a new go-kart to use the old one. Mum painted the go-kart. And Chip helped his mother. He was good at painting. When Biff looked the go-kart, she wanted to a go soon. But is was still wet. Then Mum took the children to a park and there was a hill. It was good place to try new go-kart. Wilma found another go-kart. It's Anneena. Her go-kart looked fast. Wilma and Anneena had a race. It was nice race, but a dog ran in front of Anneena. And they crashed each other. Their go-kart were broken. Chip had an idea. He told that to Mm and Dad. They made one go-kart out of two. The new go-kart was so cool. The children called it Silver Bullet. The day of the race, Mum tossed a coin which person drove the Silver Bullet and Anneena won. The race began and Silver Bullet was fast at first. Finally, Silver Bullet came third. But Silver Bullet won a prize. It was the best-looking go-kart. Everyone was happy.
I think the race is so important, but design of go-kart is also important. Congratulation.

ARTHUR'S FIRST KISS

I read the book "ARTHUR'S FIRST KISS." I like this series. But this story was a little shocking for me.
One day, Arthur came to school. And Francine said "See you at my party tomorrow." "Don't for get. It's my house," said Muffy. After the school, two girl came to Arthur and said "Are you really going to kiss Francine tomorrow?" Arthur didn't understand what she speaks. Arthur thought that he would rather kiss a flog.
The next day, Arthur got dressed for the party. "Oh, you are handsome, lover boy," laughed D.W. She is Arthur's younger sister. She wanted to go to the party, too. But Artur said no. She thought she would be Arthur's bodyguard, she would keep Francine from kissing Arthur. So Arthur said "If you really want to help, you can take Pal for a walk later." Pal is the dog. Arthur walked to Muffy's house. He didn't want to play kissing game. Francine and Muffy did something to strange act in the corner.What were they doing? They wrote the name of boys and girls. The game rule is that someone pick up on of the paper and another person also pick up. And each person have to kiss who the name written at the paper. In fact Francine and Muffy wrote just only Arthur and Francine's name. So they had to kiss.
At the same time, D.W. was walking Pal. She looked inside through the window. She looked what her brother was done. She thought that she has to help her brother. Then she put Pal inside to help her brother. Pal jumped to Arthur and gave him great kiss. And Francine couldn't kiss Arthur.
Arthur bought a piece of cake for D.W. And he gave Pal a great kiss. He very thanked them.
This story was interesting for me. But I don't like Francine. She is not so good, I think. D.W. and Pal worked very well. I think Arthur is happy because he has nice family.

The Gingerbread Boy

I read the book "The Gingerbread Boy". First, I thought this book is heartwarming story. After read this book, I felt something sad.
A little old man and little old woman lived. And they had no children.
One day the little old woman made a boy out of gingerbread. And then little gingerbread boy jumped and ran away. The old man and the old woman also ran. But the little gingerbread boy run faster.
So anyone, the little old man, the little old woman, a cow, a horse, and a farmer couldn't catch the little gingerbread boy. He came to river and a fox came. The fox asked the little gingerbread boy to sit on his back and can cross the river. The little gingerbread boy sat on the fox's back and cross the river. While they were crossing the river, the fox tried to eat the little gingerbread boy. But little gingerbread boy was on the river. There was no way to run away.
The little gingerbread boy was eaten.
This story was surprising. I think this story is not for children. If children read this book, they were made so feel sad.
By the way, I hope the little man and the little old woman live a long time together with happiness.
