Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I like to read books very much. I like to read books about adventures. My favourite book is Adventures of Tom Sawyer. This book is about a boy and his adventures on the Mississippi River. Tom Sawyer was a boy with a wild imagination. He and his friends liked to play games, dteamt of different adventures. Tom was sometimes naughty and never quiet. But he was often noble and always bright and full of ide- as. This book is written by a famous writer Mark Twain. I also like stories about famous men and women. I've just read a very interesting book about Mark Twain. I enjoy reading books!

Adventures in the Chess Country

I have the favourite book. The book's title is Adventures in the Chess Country. This is a fairy tale about a boy who wanted to play chess. And one day the boy (his name was Yura) went to the chess country. In that country Yura met different chess figures. And they taught him how to play chess.
Also he met two friends. They accompanied him in the chess country. And when Yura came home from the fairy country, he could play chess very well.
I always travelled in that country when I read this fairy tale and looked at the pictures. This book taught me to play chess. I give it, two thumbs up!

Tom Sawyer

My favourite writer is Mark Twain. He is one of the greatest writers in American literature. His book about Tom Sawyer is interesting both for young and old. It is a very amusing book. Best of all I like a story "Tom takes Becky's punishment" from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer after Mark Twain. Tom, Becky and Mr. Dobbins are the characters in this story. I liked this story because I enjoyed when Tom saved Becky and took her punishment. Tom was brave and attentive. His noble action tells us that Tom loved Becky and he was a true friend. It is a very interesting book! It is a book you can spend hours with.

Mowgli

My favourite book is about Mowgli by Rudyard Kipling. It was written in 1894. I like to read about the boy's adventures in the jungle. The story teaches me to tell wrong from right.
Mowgli grew up with the wolf cubs. His father Wolf taught him everything that wolves knew about gungle. He taught to speak the lan- guage of animals. Then the pack drove Mowdli away and he went to the village. Mowgli's parents took Mowgli into their house. They taught him the language of people, and how to do things that they did. But Mowgli was not happy. Mowgli went into the jungle that he loved. It's a thrilling book.

The Adventures of Captain Blood

My favourite book is "The Adventures of Captain Blood". This book contains a lot of very interesting information about seas and battle ships of the 17th century. I've read this book mare that five times but I'd like to read it again.
In this book a man, whose name is Doctor Blood, found himself on the island where he was turned into a slave. Then he ran away from the island and became a pirate. He loved a woman and did all his best to show her that he wasn't very terrible and cruel. In the story there are a lot of thrilling moments. Captain Blood destroyed ships and gave life to his enemies, he robbed and killed but he loved.
I think it's a really wonderful book. Captain Blood is loved by me and my friends.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
All people in the world like to read books. Some people like to read fantastic books, some likes to read books travelling, somebody - about animals. I like to read fairy-tales and different stories about adventu- res, because it is very interesting, when the hero meets danger and resists it.
My favourite tale is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. I like this tale, because Alice is a very, resourceful girl and she always resists danger, if she meets it, she isn't afraid of the kind with his queen when they want to kill Alice. I want to look like Alice, to be as resourceful as she is. I don't like only this tale. I like many tales and stories, but this tale is my favourite one.
