BR 2-17: A Fright in the Night

I read a book “A Fright in the Night”. It was one of Oxford Reading Tree series. This book is not magic key series. I’ll talk about the story. One day, Biff and Chip went to stay at their grandmother’s house. They enjoyed taking a walk and making blackberry jam. They asked grandmother if there is ghost in her house again and again. Grandmother answered there is no ghost. At the night, children heard a noise. They thought that it is ghost, but it was an owl. They were relieved, but they looked a figure outside. They thought that it is ghost next time, but it was a grandmother.

I like this book. When I went to house of my grandparents, I think that there is perhaps ghost. House of grandparents is almost old, so everyone feel frightened. I could sympathy with this book. Also, children helped grandmother very well. For example, they helped grandmother when they make blackberry jam and grandmother light a fire. I thought that children are great.

I also like the punch line of this book. Children found the figure that they thought it is ghost is grandmother and they relaxed on a sofa drinking coffee. Then, grandmother said, “I don’t have ghost, but I do have two little monsters!” (Hunt R., 1994, p. 24) I like the phrase. I thought it is cute.
