Book: SIMPKIN

Writer: Quentin Blake

Summary:

This book is talking about a little boy who named SIMPKIN with blond hair. In this book, described a little boy, SIMPKIN, his daily life. Sometimes he is kind and sometimes he is naughty; sometimes he is fast and sometimes he is slow; Sometimes he is fat and sometimes he is thin. He is just like a sweet baby that in every family, sometimes he is a cute angel and sometimes he is a terribly naughty child. He is just like a normal child in every family. But the difference is, he always has the opposite actions or condition.

Reflection:

I seldom read children's books in my childhood; my impression of children’s books was boring and stodgy and I did not think that it’s helpful for me. When I saw some parents bought their children children’s book, I thought that was weird and could not make out what they were thinking. This time our English teacher gives us a chance to read children’s books and when I read this book, I assume that it’s really an interesting book and when I read this book, SIMPKIN, I assume that it’s really an interesting book. First, the writer used the opposite adjective and described SIMPKIN’s every movement and every action clearly. Second, the writer used the skill of rhyme and special line to make the screen more vivid. I recommend this book for parents read with their children and for English teaching.
