今天就说一本书：Shrinking Violet。孩子的。

是借的KNUFFY BUNNY的DVD，里面有SHRINKING VIOLET的DVD。孩子看了一遍，就喜欢上了。问我要借书。去图书馆借了CD BOOK，车上也放着听。就这么反反复复，她自己也翻看，到了前两天，自己一个人翻着书本，一字不拉地把书念了下来。我很惊讶。这是一本很长的书。在我看来，内容也比较复杂，相对她曾经看过的书来说。一个非常SELF-CONSCIOUS的小女孩，对ATTENTION 非常ALLERGIC，行了，我不啰嗦了，
When class bully Irwin taunts Violet about her fat knees (they're not) or deadly sewer gas smell (she doesn't), all she wants to do is shrink away. The thought of being in the class play about the solar system makes her itch and scratch and twirl her hair. But when she's alone or with her best friend, Opal, Violet is a master performer, mimicking her classmates and retaliating against Irwin with razor-sharp wit. Her chance for real-life revenge comes at last during the play, when she plays the offstage role of Lady Space. On opening night, when Irwin, a.k.a. Mars, starts to spin out of control and forgets his lines, Violet saves the day (but not without a little of her savage humor).

孩子能从这本书里学到如何对付BULLY么？她就要去PUBLIC SCHOOL了，年龄参差不齐，所以狠担心。
