BR: 1-10 The Ugly Duckling


 I choose this book because I once read this book when I was a child, and I thought the ugly duckling is very miserable. He bullied his brothers, cat, bird, and so on. Everyone say to him" you are so ugly" "you are ugly!". The duckling was not white. He was a gray. And he was bigger than his brothers. He felt sad everyday. I think very sad.
 He escaped his home, and he meet many species, but he was bullied them. Finally, he become a beautiful swan. And he found another swan in the lake. They say to him "You are a beautiful white swan". I really happy that he was able to be a beautiful and get along with another swan.

BR: 1-08 Beauty and the Beast

  "Beauty and the Beast" is so major of the world. I read this book has some different from major's. Most different point is appearance two sisters of main character's. They are very spiteful and greedy. Another point is the beast died of fairy's magic.
 This story, a fairy appearance a little. But, almost same as Disney's. Main character is kind and beautiful of them. I like Disney's story and musics because this story is beautiful. And I like roses, so I'm glad to see Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".
 Beauty, the main character love the Beast. So I think Person love someone's heart.
