How elephants lost their wings

9780746085417
“Believe it or not, elephants used to be able to fly. But flying elephants were big trouble… ”
Once upon a time, elephants could fly, so flew everywhere. It is unbelievable for me. The gods sometimes flew on their backs but the elephants were noisy and flew into tree and smashed them. The gods is angry so they took away elephant’s wings. They gave them to the peacocks and the banana trees. I heard that elephant involved in India so I wonder that I think that maybe the story involved India.

“Which animals come out at night? How do they find food in the dark? Where do they go during the day? In this book you’ll find the answers and lots more about the secret world of night animals.”
After I finished reading, I think smart night animals. Night animals are out and about at night. They are called nocturnal animals. There are 3 things that I was interested in night animal’s characteristic. At first, they are keeping hidden. Night animals need to be safe while they rest in the day. Their enemies mustn’t see them. If opossums are in danger, they pretend to be dead, so enemies leave them alone. Second, they have night noises. While people are fast asleep, animals call to each other in the dark. For example, a male cricket chirps a song by rubbing his wings together. Finally, they use light messages. Some night animals have strange ways of sending message. For example, black dragon fish have a light dangling from their chin. Shrimps come to look at it and are eaten. As you can see, their life is funny and smart. They have many skills for live.

I can understand the Celts exactly. They lived on top of hills and have any idea how Celt warriors made themselves look nearly scary in a battle so I can discover all lots more about the Celts in this fascinating book. There are 2 things that I’m interested in Celts. At first, I talk about Festival fun. The Celts held festivals at different times of year to celebrate their gods and the seasons. The Celts celebrated the end of winter with fired and feasts. Men raced each other on horseback at the summer festival. At one festival, the Celts though that the world of the dead and the world of the living mixed together. At the spring festival, cows and sheep were led between two bonfires. The Celts through this would stop them from getting sick. I think that it is important for them to do. Next, I talk about high on a hill. Different tribes didn’t always get along. They often tried to steal things from each other so many tribes built forts on hills to stay safe. There are the ruins of a Celt Hillsboro in Danebury in the south of England. I think smart Celts. I thought that how to use hill as much as Japan. I enjoy reading this. Celts is part of an exciting story of book.
