BR 1-12: ANITA'S BIG DAY

I read “ANITA’S BIG DAY” Elizabeth Laird wrote it. I chose this book because I was interested in the illustration of the book cover. I am going to introduce this story roughly.


The main characters of this story are Anita and Dan. One day, Anita received a letter from Mr. Stein. The letter said “Dear Miss Rosselli, Come to the movie studio at 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning. Mr. Stein can see you then.” She was very happy when she read the letter, because she thought that she could be a movie star. By the way, Dan bought a new car that day. He wanted to take her out. So he called her. He said “Come out with me in my new car.” Anita said “OK.” Then Dan drove to Anita’s house. Anita said “Let’s go. Mr. Stein wants to see me at 10 o’clock. ” So Dan drove very fast. He was looking at Anita and he was not looking at the road. So he did not see the STOP sign at the end of the highway. Dan said “Where’s the road? Where are we?” The car came down and down. They were on the road again. Suddenly Anita heard something behind her. It was an airplane’s noise. They were in the airplane’s road! She wanted to get out, but Dan did not stop the car. Anita had to go the movie studio at 10 o’clock. So Dan drove the car very fast again. However long lines of cars were on the airport road. Dan could not go fast again now. Then he got a good idea He drove under the trees and across the grass. His car went through a bridge. The bridge was for people on foot. Mr. Stein was watching Dan from the line of cars. Dan drove the car very, very fast again. Anita said “We’re almost at the studio. On Dan, you’re a fantastic driver!” They arrived at the movie studio but a guard man did not open the front gate of the movie studio because Anita did not have the letter from Mr. Stein. The letter was in her house! Then Dan drove the car and the car jumped over the gate. They could arrive at 10 o’clock. They met Mr. Stein. He said to Dan “You drive off the highway, under an airplane, across a footbridge, through the gate… Who are you?” Also he said “I want a driver in my new movie.” Finally, Anita and Dan both got a new job. They became the movie star!


I think that it is impossible for people to drive Dan’s way. It is a funny story. If you have a free time, please read this story!
