PitcherBooks Both are lovely animal stories with totally endearing artwork. Potter's work is a vintage classic and Barklem's book a recent classic.

Nemu sepaket buku anak Beatrix Potter di Aladin, hampir lengkap 23 jilid. Kayanya gemes buat sesi reading aloud sama anak aku suatu hari nanti. Jadi aku bacain beberapa untuk screening mana yang kira-kira bagus.
Ini salah satu yang yang aku beli. Pesannya cukup bagus, bahwa orang hidup dengan cara-cara yang berbeda dan perbedaan kultur tersebut layak dikenali dan baiknya diterima tanpa julid dan prasangka. Ilustrasinya juga bagus dan agaknya bisa menstimulus kreatifitas dan imajinasi anak. Dapet murah jadi senang :D

I feel a lot like Timmy in this story about a mouse who accidentally travels to the city. I currently live in the city now and, like Timmy, crave the country. Maybe I will follow Timmy's actions and go back home. Johnny Town-Mouse, on the other hand, is perfectly content in the city.
Timmy Willy the country mouse accidently ends up in town at the home of Johnny Town-Mouse. He absolutely hates it, and goes home. Johnny Town-Mouse visits him and hates the country.
