BR 1-13 [Tales of Amanda Pig]

I read "Tales of Amanda Pig" which was illustrated book. This is 5 stories and had cute pictures.

This story's heroin is Amanda. She is the youngest member of the Pig's family. She likes her stuffed toy monkey and rabbit. Oliver is her brother. He is always active. Amanda and Oliver sometimes quarrel. Their father has humor, and their mother is kind.

One day, Amanda's family ate them breakfast. The father and Oliver finished to eat, and went out of house to rake leaves. Then, mother finished to eat, but Amanda would not eat sunny-side up egg. Her mother wanted to ready for washing the dishes, but Amanda was only looking it. So her mother tried Amanda to eat egg.

The second story is about a rainy day. Amanda and Oliver wanted to go to grandmother's house, but the mother said"Not today." They decided to play taking in our airplane. They made their airplane using the table, chair and toy box. After that, they got the airplane ready for takeoff. The rain stopped, the grandmother visited their house. They was looking forward to meet her, so they were very glad.

The third story is about Amanda's worry. She said "I cannot go upstairs. There is a monster." Her father said"Show it to me." And She pointed a clock up the stairs. She looked it as a monster. Her father came up with a plan. He got a flashlight, a cooking pot, two Halloween masks and his umbrella. They would take care of the monster using these items.

The fourth story is Amanda and Oliver's fight. They decided to play in their house today. Amanda wanted to play house, but Oliver wanted to play monster. He obliged her to play monster, she went out of his room. She started to play house alone. Oliver talked to his father...

The last story was about sleeping. Her mother usually sings a lullaby and talks a story when She goes to bed, but this time She sung and talked. After her mother fell asleep. Amanda sat and watched her mother sleep quietly...

After I read this book, I was very sentimental. It was soft story. This story is long, but sentences is not so difficult. I really recommend this book.
