Journal 8

Today I want to introduce a Chinese children’s book. The book’s name is “The Adventure of ShuKe and BeiTa”.  I remember when I was young, I really like this book. This book has more than 20 years of history and now it’s still very popular in China.

This book indicates the story about two rats which name are ShuKe and BeiTa. ShuKe is a pilot and BeiTa is a tankman. They have a good friendship and they like to help others.

In this book, the author gives the two rats humanity, especially ShuKe, he even makes friends with a little boy name PiPi Lu. They travel around the world for one purpose: to find a place without cat.

When I first read this book, I really liked it. The illustrations are very cute. Even though the painting technology of that time is not good like now, but there are lots of interesting design in the illustrations. The two rats wear the clothes of pilot and tankman make them look very professional. 
It makes you believe that they are real pilots and tankman, but when you look carefully you will find they still have tails. They have a very wonderful adventure in the book. The author describes lots of funny story for them. For examples, they space travel to another planet, they make a touching union with their friends. These designs and scenes add a lot of fun to this book.

This book has its own TV series which are also very famous in China. You can also find the video of this book on You tube. This book is really worth reading.
