I remember that the first book I read was <Doramon>, which talks about a blue cat’s amazing pocket. The cat lives with a cowardly boy and he always asks the cat for help, but the cat is afraid of mouse, which is dramatic and interesting. The book is small and I can carry it anywhere to read. Because it is a comic book, it’s easy for me to understand the stories from these drawings as I was not good educated at that time. All the characters in the book are cute and vivid. After that, I got a chance to watch the same called name cartoons on TV. < Doramon > has a series, these books made my happy during my childhood.
