What's the material in these sculptures? It's cans! (p.17)  This week, I read “Art”. In this book, you can learn about art from the view of color, shapes, materials and so on. I'm interested in art, so this book was helpful for me. Through reading this book, I could get to know that there are many types of art. For example, those which express its beauty only by color, or which express by many kinds of materials such as cans!! I haven't ever seen sculptures which are made by cans. I thought art is interesting! I recommend you to read this book. Geatches Hazel. (2013). Art. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

“In the snow in Canada, some students go to school by sled. ”(p.5) This is a book about schools in many countries. I chose this book because I was interested in school in the USA, Canada and so on. I was really surprised that in Canada, some students go to school by sled in the snow. Also, I couldn't believe that one school in Cambodia is a boat and the cafeteria is a boat, too. The pictures of them were on the page, so if you want to see it, you should check it! By reading this book, you can get to know about school systems or classes in many countries.  Geatches Hazel.

" Can you see the tiger? Tigers have orange and black stripes. They can hide in long grass." (p. 6) In this book, you can get a lot of information about wild cats such as a snow leopard, cheetahs, a tiger, a jaguar and so on. You can enjoy this book with many pictures of these animals, so you can imagine them clearly. I didn't know that tigers have orange and black stripes to hide in grass.
