Book Fair

I went to Oxford Elementary School to see their book fair last week. It was very good experience, because all books are written in English. I could find some Japanese animation books. I knew Japanese animations are very famous around the world. I was happy to see Japanese things in foreign country. The book fair was diffrent from Japan. We don't have only book fair. In Japan, book fair is in festival. I think having a book fair is very good experience for children, because they can know how to buy and sell books in school. The experience will be useful when they go to shops. If I were a child, I would have been excited to find Japanese animation books. I think it is better to have such an event on weekend or holiday, because most of people are busy on weekday. To have that kind of event in school is very great experience to learn social life for children.

  1. Your idea that weekend is better to have a school book fair is new thought for me and I agree with you. If so, the parents can go there with their children!

  5. Yes, the books were great! And not only books, there had some educational toys and computer games too, wich I think completes the offer for the childrens.
