I would like to be friend with grasshopper because he plays music. I love to hear music. I want to relax, sit on the armchair, and listen to grasshopper's music that is perfect! If I be the best friend with grasshopper, I can hear music every time when I want. Moreover, I can ride grasshopper's back, (if I weight not much) and fly to the sky. It will be very fun to ride, and of course I can't ride grasshopper too much because he will be angry. However, I would be friend with grasshopper, because I can hear grasshopper's music, and I can ride him and fly to the sky!
This is my second book and I really enjoyed this book. While I was reading, I was very concentrating on this book, and my brain always thinks about this book. After having a habit of reading, I don't make time to read this book. Reading book is just like my life!
In conclusion, I really enjoyed reading this book and I wish I can read more fun eanglish books after.

In bobby land, they don't go schools at Monday to Thursday and bobby land has 5 Thursday in a week. The school holiday begins at starting of January, and ends at the last day of December. Pinocchio excites about that fact. So he goes to the land of booby. When he arrives, he starts to play. After 3 month, Pinocchio starts to change. His ears are long as donkey. Finally he became a donkey. He was sold by a circus team. The master of circus wants him to jump through the fire ring, but Pinocchio didn't. so he sells Pinocchio to a person that wants to make a drum with donkey's skin.

He finds his father Gepetto in there. At night, when blue whale is sleeping, he and his father escape from whale. When they go back to their house, Pinocchio was not a puppet he was a boy.
I would like to be a friend with Pinocchio. At first, Pinocchio was very bad and naughty boy. He didn't listens to his father, and he always made trouble. But after many troubles, he became very good boy. He thinks about other people. Of course, everyone wants to have friend with well behaved boy or girl. I think Pinocchio is a well behaved boy. And he will always think about other people than him. So I want to be friend with Pinocchio.
I enjoyed this book very much because this book gives us many lessons. While Pinocchio are having trip, there were many accidents. Each of them gives us lessons. There are many chapters are in Pinocchio. One chapter was not so long, it was about 3-4 pages. The pages were quiet short. Compares to other books, other books only have two or three big events. I also liked that Pinocchio's pure. He is pure as a little boy. The Pinocchio's steps to being a good boy are showing specifically from the book.
In conclusion, while I was reading this book Pinocchio, I learnt many thing from here and I really enjoyed reading this book.
