The Song of the Pine Tree Fairy

The Song of the Pine Tree Fairy
(from Flower Fairies of Winter) 

A tall, tall tree is the Pine tree,

With its trunk of bright red-brow –

The red of the merry squirrels

Who go scampering up and down.

There are cones on the tall, tall Pine tree,

With needles sharp and green;

Small seeds in the cones are hidden,

And ripen there unseen.

The elves play games with the squirrels

At the top of the tall, tall tree,

Throwing cones for the squirrels to nibble –

I wish I were there to see!

Book Review: Bambi

Bambi 
by Felix Salten
(read in Hungarian)

My dad has read Bambi to me once and now I have read it on my own. It is a gripping story, I know that sounds like a cliché though. The story is very sad but has funny bits in it too. My favourite part is when Bambi is in the clearing with his Mum. Bambi saw a butterfly and thought it was a flying flower, he also saw a cricket and thought it was jumping grass. I like this bit because it is funny and is shows the loving relationship between Bambi and his mum. This book was fantastic, it's worth reading.

Book Review: Mio poikani Mio (Mio, My Son)

Mio poikani Mio (Mio, My Son)
by Astrid Lindgren 
(read in Finnish)

Mio, poikani Mio is a fantasy book about an orphan who discovers he is a prince. He has to fight against the evil Ritari Kaamo. This book was exciting. My favourite part was the cliffhanger when Ritari Kaamo pulled Mio up from hanging over the side of the stairs.
