Book Review2-09 "A present for Jojo"

I read "A present for Jojo". That day was Mouse and Jojo's birthday. They are twins. Jojo gave Mouse a map of the stars. He was happy because that was what he wanted. And Mouse gave a mobile of the planets. But Jojo seemed happy very much because it was not what she wanted.

Pip gave them his presents. Mouse was happy to get a present that was just what he wanted. But it was not what Jojo wanted. Then Jojo saw a great big present on the table. She wished there were two big presents. They opened the present. It was a telescope. Mouse was very excited, but Jojo was not happy because she didn't want the telescope at all. They always had space things because Mouse liked them. Jojo told everyone didn't know what she likes. So Dad asked her what she wants. Jojo could not think of anything she liked. Jojo cried because she didn't know what she likes.

Suddenly, Jojo went to Lucky's grave in the garden. She was sad because nobody cared about her. Lucky's grave was dirty. She thought that nobody cares about him. Then, Jojo cleaned Lucky's grave. Mum came to see her. Mum had a good idea.

So they went to the garden centre. There were flowers and trees in pots. Jojo found what she likes. Mum helped Jojo to choose some flowers. Meanwhile, Dad took Mouse and Pip inside and bought many things. It was a secret.

Mum and Pip helped Jojo to plant her flowers. While she was making it, Mouse, Mum and Dad were making a present for Jojo. It was a room with flowers. She was very happy.

This story was interesting and I was moved. I thought she was sorry at first because she couldn't get what she wanted. And she was very kind because she cleaned Lucky's grave. Her family was also very warm. I want to recommend this book to everyone. 326
