BR 2-05: The Baby Day (Alexander,2001)

"She looked so sweet!" (Alexander, 2001, p.14)

Billy is a boy who is junior high school sudent. One day, Billy's mom told him that she will take Jasmine into school for the afternoon. That's because, Billy's class was doing a project on 'Young and Old'. So, his mom decided to take Jasmine. Who is Jasmine? She is Billy's sister and she is still baby. But, Billy don't want to take Jasmine to his school.

There was a girl in Billy's classmate Clare. She is very smart and strict. Classmates didn't like her. But they admired her. If she was the bee's knee, and everyone else did too.  

The day was coming. Jasmine came Billy's classroom. Mrs. Steel introduced Jasmine to everyone. Then, Jasmine suddenly said "Jaffim!". Classmates were delighted. They said "She can talk!". But Clare didn't think that. When Billy called Jasmine's name, she went to Billys'. Everyone said "She can walk!" at that time. But Clare didn't think that.

After that, everyone wanted to Jasmine to sit on their knees. Even Clare! Jasmine made everyone happy. If Jasmine did bad things, they admired her. Billy didn't want to take Jasmine at first, but he thought that he is glad to take her.

After I finished reading this book, I feel so sweet. I thought that baby makes people happy and sweet. I didn't like baby and children. But now, I like them very much. In my dance school, there is kids class. So I meet children in a week. They are so cute! If I have a child, I want her/him to be dancer!!
