Author: DICK KING-SMITH
Publisher (level): Penguin (2.2)
Summary:
The story is set in one little farm. One day, Farmer Hogget took a little pig to his farm. The name of the pig is Babe. Mr. and Mrs. Hogget wanted to kill and make a dinner because he wouldn’t be a good sheep-pig such as Fly which is a good sheep-dog they had. But there were one good point that Babe had and Fly didn’t have. Babe was polite to animals such as sheep and ducks Famer Hogget had. Fly made fools of them. This is why Babe was loved by all of them and he worked surely and steadily as a sheep-pig. Then, one day, a sheep-dog contest took place in the village Farmer Hogget lived in. One of the rules of contest said animals will enter the contest are not always dogs, so Farmer Hogget decided to enter Babe for the contest. Babe showed wonderful performances at the contest by politeness for sheep. Babe won the contest.
Evaluation: 5 stars
This story made into a movie in 1996 and it is very famous story. However, I didn’t know the story until I read the book. I’m well impressed by Babe’s politeness for all of animals and bravery of facing anything villain. I wanted to treasure the fighting spirit such Babe has.

Title: A Christmas Carol
Author: CHARLES DICKENS
Publisher (level): Penguin (2)
Summary:
The setting of the book is one Christmas in London. There was an old man who loves money and doesn’t like people. His name is Scrooge. He was a cold and hard man. Naturally he doesn’t like Christmas because you want things but you can’t get the money on the day. When Scrooge spent one Christmas alone, three ghosts visited him. The first ghost showed him some past Christmases, the second ghost showed him Christmas now, the third ghost showed him future Christmas. Then, he learned that he had had things which are more important than money in the past, there were some people who think the world of him even though his attitude toward of them is very cold, and nobody would grieve for him if he died. He could notice the important things which are required of living as a human and changed him into a kind person. Of course, he always spent good Christmases after the experience.
Evaluation: 5 stars
The attraction of the book is the process that an old man who is a cold and hard man reform himself gradually and gets back him warm personality through the experiences with ghosts. The book teaches us not only the importance of kindness to anyone but also soft heart inherent in us. I thought it’s reasonable that the book will be made into a movie in this winter. This is why I think the book is such a great book.
