BOOK REVIEWS #7 (The Incredible Present)


This story's main character is a girl whose name is Lily. Her parents are out to follow in the footsteps of the explorer with their balloon, so she lives with her Granny.


Tomorrow is Lily's birthday. But her parents aren't in their house. She was looking forward to her birthday present from them.

At the birthday, she got four presents including from her parents' present. She opened them in order. The contents are a book (to learn 1001 boring facts), a basket of smelly soap and a box of writing paper. But they couldn't please her. Then, last present was from her parents. It was a small box with a label. The label said that this bag can bring anything you want! She lost no time in requesting some crayons. And there was a box of six crayons! She pleased that, made a list of things what she want. But at that time, she noticed that there was another label with the bag. The label said that the bag could bring only six things.

She thought over and requested three things. They are a bed-making robot, a space buggy and a witch's kit with real spells in it. But every her hopes went something wrong. The result irritated her. To boot, her birthday lunch is not special, spinach. So, she wanted a zapper that turns all your greens into chocolate ice cream, and she zapped spinach with what became real. But against her will, a zapper turned ALL the green things into chocolate ice cream! A lawn, trees, Granny's hat... Everything in sweet brown!

So, she hoped last time to bring her parents. In a moment, they came their home by a balloon and returned into the bag. A bed-making robot, a space buggy and a witch's smelly CAT vanished and so many chocolate ice creams returned into green. And they told her that they stop exploring and being an inventor beside her. She was very glad to hear that. The family started new happy life with all the member of family.


This is not an ordinary fantasy story. This story tells us preciousness of the family. It's real heartwarming story.
