I will review the book Chocolate by Janet Hardy-Gould. This book is about chocolate. I will
describe the summary and explain why I recommend this book.
By the way, you think that chocolate is sweet and delicious, don’t you? Chocolate contains
a lot of sugar and milk. So, many people, from children to adults around the world love chocolate.
Then, do you know the origin of chocolate? Long time ago, Maya made chocolate from cacao
beans for the first time. But it was different from today’s chocolate. It tasted bitter and they
enjoyed it as drinks. In addition, it was often drunk even with species. This is very surprisingfor people today because we think it natural that chocolate is sweet. This book changes ournotion of chocolate. We get a chance to think about things around us from a different point ofview. That is why I recommend this book.
Although the story changes, have you ever thought about where cacao comes from? Manyof them are from developing countries, such as Ivory Coast and Ghana. In those countries, there
are many children who have to work at a cacao plantation for rich countries at a low wage. Even
if they want to go to school, they have to work to support their family finances. To deal withthis problem, we can try “fair trade”. Fair trade is a system for laborers to receive fair prices.
Nowadays, we can see “fair trade” products in many stores. If we buy one, we can help someone
living far from here. We, as consumers, have to think about what we can do for the future. As
the first step to think about the future, this book offers information about realities hidden inchocolate. That is the second reason I recommend this book.
In conclusion, I recommend this book because you can learn that what you think is natural is
not true. Also, it will give you a chance to review your daily actions. Overall, I think that
“Chocolate” is one of the books you should read at least once.

we're wrong about the world and why things are better than you think. I will describe thesummary and explain why I recommend this book.
To begin, this book discusses our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know,
and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. We see the world inan exaggerated way. But the world is getting better than we think.
I would recommend this book because this book changes the way you see the world
and we can keep discovering new things. First, we focus more on the bad than the good. If
you hear something bad, ask yourself. Is there really only one bad side? If you ask that you
will realize that there are more good sides than bad ones. Second, you will learn how to lookat graphs because there are many graphs in this book. By seeing lots of graphs, you might see
a completely different world from the one we have imagined. You'll see the graphs differently
than you did before you read this book. Therefore, I would recommend it.

understanding how our instincts program us to exaggerate situations and distort our perceptionof reality in ways that further exacerbate problems and how we react to them. We can learn afact-based view of the world from this book.

I will review the book Wonders of the Past by Kathryn Harper, a book about ancientbuildings and treasures. I will describe the summary and explain why I don’t recommend thisbook.
To begin, this book discusses the history of ancient buildings and the connection between
buildings and people’s lives. My favorite building in this book is Petra. Petra was a city built
on the Pink Cliffs. People made temples, a theater and so on in Petra about 2000 years ago!
Many of the buildings are still cloaked in mystery, but they are closely related to the way ofpeople’s life, Wars, religion, entertainment and the surroundings of the land at the time. It isan unchanging fact that we still know very little about how people lived thousands of years
ago.
I would not recommend this book because there are not many details on each topic, andthere are limited explanations of the civilizations. First, I’d like to know more stories and facts
about each of the remains. However, I feel like this aspect of the book is missing. For
example, although part of the information about how people built “Angkor Wat” is known
today, there was little mention of it in the book. Second, only fact is used in the book. While I
know the author can’t write fiction in an educational book, I’m interested in theories that arepresented by researchers and experts, so I was left feeling a little unsatisfied. Therefore, I
would not recommend it.
In conclusion, because of the lack of theories and imagination in this book, I do notrecommend it. Overall, although I was left unsatisfied by the presentation of information, I
think that this book makes people have more interested in the history behind the ancientbuilding of the world.

racers in different countries. I will describe the summary and explain why I recommend thisbook.

not interesting. Some men drivers had thought that races were for men. But the women didn’t
give up and did very well in their races. So many other women racers wanted to become racers
like them.
I would recommend this book because they are so cool and we may be able to become
brave. First, I think they are so cool because they did not stop racing, even men racers said “awoman can’t win”. They kept believing in themselves. Second, I think a lot of girls can bebrave to be inspired by them. Girls will get courage to challenge things which many people
think are difficult for girls. Therefore, I would recommend it.

To begin, this book discusses dinosaur’s life and features. Stegosaurus which was about 9
meters long and 4 meters tall. It had bony studs to protect its neck, hard plates along its backand spines on its tail. It ate plants. That means it didn’t need sharp plates and tails. If it ate plants,
why did it have sharp plates and tails? Imagine living in the time when Stegosaurus is alive. If
a meat-eater attacks it, it swings its tail and hits it with its spines! Many kinds of dinosaurs
devise their life to live safely.
