BR 2-11: The Giant Jelly Bean Jar

A happy new year,everyone. I could spend great days in last year!! And I want to do hard as much as last year.

I read a book yesterday. The book's title was The Giant Jelly Bean Jar. The pictures were very cute, and I wanted to watch it many times. The story was about Ben who loved jelly beans. It were sold in the Jo-Jo's jelly bean shop. Jo-Jo had a contest in every weekend. And he read a riddle. The person with the right answer won a jar full of jelly beans. Every Saturday, Ben went to Jo-Jo's shop with his sister, Jill. Ben always knew the answer to Jo-Jo's riddles. But he never won the jelly beans. Jill said him that you are too shy in every week. And she told him to raise his hand high and speak up.

Jo-Jo's shop has a lot of jars full of jelly beans. There were apple jelly beans, bubble gum jelly beans, and grape jam jelly beans. And there were even popcorn jelly beans! The day, Jo-Jo had a question. He said "I'm a long, yellow fruit with skin you peel back. I'm tasty with breakfast and I make a great snack." Then kids waved their hands in the air. But Ben was very nervous, so he lowered his hand. Jo-Jo looked at the children, and he pointed to Jill. She answered "Banana." He could not answer again. He wanted to answer the jelly bean riddle himself.

The next Saturday, they went to his shop and tried to answer. But another boy won the jelly beans. He knew the answer, so he was shocked.

The next Saturday, they went to his shop again. But this week was different. It was special, because Jo-Jo's Jelly Bean Shop had been open for one year. Jo-Jo was having a big party. The store was more crowded than ever. Jo-Jo raised a very , very big jar of jelly beans over his head. Then everyone cheered. And Ben listened carefully to Jo-Jo's riddle. He knew the answer right away. This time, he lifted his hand high. Jo-Jo looked out at the big crowd. And he pointed to Ben. At last, he could answer. Jill asked him " How does it feel to be the Grand Prize Jelly Bean King?" Ben said her "Great!!"

This book was very interesting. Ben's sister was very kind. If there was not his sister, he was not able to won the prize. I want to read it again!!
