BR 2-22: Stories of Dinosaurs

The dinosaur was given a special home at the museum (p. 47)

I thought that this story was dinosaurs' history. They lived many old years ago. What food do they ate. And they became extinct thousand of years ago. I don't know about dinosaur, so I borrow this book. But it was very different.

This story is very interesting. They were boxing, went to the restaurant, they cooked the dinner. People and dinosaurs live in the world together. Also, they wear the clothes. For example, they put on the boxing pants and shoes, work in an apron. It is very cute.

When I had fearful image of dinosaurs. Because I watched the dinosaur movie. They ate many people. Also, they were very big and strong. Especially I was fearful their fang. But they are very cute in this book, I recommend this book to many children. And I want them to learn about dinosaur's history.

My favorite sports is baseball. My older brother has played it since he was elementally　school student. When I was child, I usually went to a baseball park to cheer him with my parents. So I like to watch the game. My father taught me about a rule. It was very difficult for me to understand. For example, a kinds of ball, strike, ball, curb, fork and so on. Also, I could not understand other rules. I could not distinguish. I usually watch the game of baseball player.

It is very good service. I want them to continue the service.  Also, I got the sing ball of the player. He is Munenori Kawasaki. He plays in Seattle Mariners now. He is very popular, because he is very cool. Also he is good at it. When he went to Seattle, many fun were cried. I was sad too. The sign ball is my treasure. I want him come back Fukuoka.
