BOOK REVIEW 8

I read a famous Disney story this week. I read NEMO. Most of people know this story,I think. This story is about a parent and a child of tropical fish. There are also many kinds of fishes.

One day NEMO strained from his father, and he had many many experiences. He swam in the huge sea alone and he met many fishes to go back to his home and to see his father. And also NEMO's father finds his son desperately.

If I were a fish, and If I will be caught by a human, I must feel scary.

NEMO is very strong and very brave. He is only a child but he tried to run away from human by himself.

After I read this story I was moved. This story tell us about family love. It's a beautiful story.
