Book Review " Storm Castle " Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 9: Storybooks: Storm Castle 著者 : RoderickHunt Oxford University Press 発売日 : 2008-01-10 ブクログでレビューを見る»    I read "Storm Castle". This story is that the children enter the game world and have an adventure. They complete various missions and encounter monsters and robots during the adventure. What I found particularly interesting was when the monster initially threatened the children, but suddenly became friendly because one child wasn't scared. I thought it would be fun to enter the game world.

Book Review "What Was It Like?" Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 8: More Storybooks (Magic Key): What Was It Like? 著者 : RoderickHunt Oxford University Press 発売日 : 2003-09-11 ブクログでレビューを見る»    I read "What Was It Like?" because I was interested in the meaning of the title of the book. This book is about war. Five children who have never experienced war would perform a war-themed play. These children can't imagine hearing about a war from a grandmother who experienced it. Then, a magic key took the children to an era of war. Probably, many of you would think 'what was war like?' like the children. I think reading this book will make you think again about war.

Book Review     I read "The Go-Kart Race", "A Sea Mystery", "The Blue Eye", and "Storm Castel". These are books from the Oxford Reading Tree series. The book of this series is easy to read. The sentences on each page are short and the story is easy to understand. This is a good series for those who are not good at reading, including myself. This series is easy to read, so even if difficult words or words you do not know come out, it is easy to guess the meaning of those words because the story is easy to understand. This is also an advantage of this series.
