BR 2-10: Dick Whittington

 "Please give me your cat." (p.7)

This story is about a boy, Dick Whittington, 12, likes stories. One day, he goes to London, and he looks at the children in there. They have got sad faces. Dick is hungry, and he sits down next to beautiful house and goes to sleep. When he wakes up to find this house is Mr Smith's house. Maybe he has money I think. He has a friend who is the king's friends, and he goes to dinner at the king's castle. But something happens! The time, the key is cat. What is it??

I chose this book because illustrations look cute. This story is retold by Marie Crook. This is in the Penguin Young Readers and written in British English. Its YL is 0.5, so it is written only 360 words (about 14 pages). This story is fun, and I recommend you to read this book if you had free time. For your information, this book is too easy for English learners, so I recommend you to read this book as a warm-up.
