Character: Emily the little girl
Mr.Blueberry his teacher
Arthur the whale
Theme: Children's imaginary world
The story itself is really cute, it actually reminds me of a genre style called "epistolary genre" which consist of telling a story by means of exchanging letters.
I think it is an interesting way to introduce this kind of literature genre to young children.
I am quite impressed to discover that Children's book can really be subtle.
There is a part in the book that made my smile.
When Mr.Blueberry told her that whale don't live in ponds but in salt water,
Emily put some salt in the pond the next day.
I like how innocent children can be, I think it is really cute and funny.
Emily is actually quite stubborn.
Even thought Mr.Blueberry kept saying that there is no way for a whale to live in a pond,
she kept asking questions, feeding him, petting his head or even read the letters to Arthur the Whale.
Mr.Blueberry is also a really nice teacher,
instead of being annoyed by Emily's questions, he kept replying and giving her more information about whales.
Well, I think it is important for children to be imaginative, and it is also important for adults not to break their world in a harsh way.
Children's imagination is really rich and unlimited.
It reminds me of my childhood.
I used to believed that my cuddly toys were all alived, that they could talk during my sleep.
( I guess I have been influenced by "Toy Story: at that time haha)
Children believe in quite everything, it is quite unbelievable.
I think sometimes, we also have to know when to set them limit,
otherwise it can be somehow dangerous.
They have to understand that people can't fly or don't have superpowers or are not invincible...
I used to believe that I could fly, Jesus...
My imagination used to go wild.
Fortunately, there were people to take a look on me.
Well, I had a good time reading this book
Because it reminds me somehow of my childhood.
When every day was playtime and worry free ;)
