این از یاد اوری های قشنگ دوران بچگیمه توی سرمای زمستان کتاب و فیلمش میخونم همیشه هم زمستون بود انگار کتابه تو فصل های دیگه خوندنش نمی طلبیید :)

I washed and anime so I know the story , but the Japanese are add more events so it became melodrama.
I like the story , I'm now sad .

هذه قصة سارة كريو التي عرفناها باسم سالي كريو في دبلجة العربية لأنمي المشهور سالي أو الأميرة الصغيرة سارة في اليابانية

صور المتواجدة في الكتاب هي نفسها قريبة جدًا من الانمي ،لكن اليابانيون يحبون المأساة لذلك وضعوا الكثير من الميلودراما في احداث الانمي ،صحيح بأنه جعلته جميلا لكن في نفس الوقت مملا.

Actually, I didn't like the concept of the story, But in general, I like to read anything, so the benefit of reading is reading.

[Bobby 2 Shades · Rating 4 out of 5]

Because I am an English teacher in an academy, I have read this book many times over now. I think it is good but not great. The 1995 movie was a masterpiece. I highly recommend reading this book then watching the movie.

Full circle moment for me. I remember first picking up this story back in elementary school, but it was unfortunately due before young me could finish it. Glad to finally know how it ends.

The book's title is "A Little Princess".And,this story was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett.She is from Britain.This story's genre is fiction,and the story for children.This story is written about a little girl whose name is Sara.She is very kind to many people.For example,she is friendly and divides some bread with a poor girl.But,Sara was attacked by sadness.I think that the part of the sory where although Sara was very hungry,she divided some bread with a poor girl is very good.Sara thought the poor girl was hungrier than Sara.Because,the girl didn't have shoes.In addition,the part of the story where Sara is very friendly and kind to everyone is very nice.Next is about characters.There are many characters in this story.But, some characters are bad.Sara was sent to servant's room by Miss Minchinn.Sara was seven years old at that time.So, I felt Miss Minchinn is a bad woman.Sara become a servant at Sara's seventh birthday.However,Sara didn't be crushed and continued to be kind to everyone.The peace moved me.I recommend this book everyone.And,I recommend especially to children. Because,this story will teach the importance of being friendly and kind to everyone.

'She is hungrier than I am'
The main character, Sara finds a skinny, poor girl sitting on the snow on the side of the road one day in winter. Sara is also hungry because she does not get enough to eat because of being her servant life. However, once she found this poor girl, she thinks this passage, and she gives her new hot bread she just bought by her little money. The passage shows how strong and kind she is even though being in such a difficult situation.

I have watched the movie based on this book, and it is one of my favorites ever. She comes from India to England, and everything is different from many aspects. This tells me to stand strong when I face to such a hard situation. I love this book!

The story is very brief, but I liked the additions such as the audio book and the questions at the end of the book. It is very suitable for anyone who wants to learn English

I though that I am very happy because I have a bed to sleep, I can eat every day and I have a lot of wonderful and kind friends who I can talk about every my pleasant. This book is taught me how I am happy and I really like this book.

"I'm always going to be your friend- and nobody can stop me!"
The reason why I chose this passage is that someone who I can say something like that to me is my true friend.

I had never seen or read this story before. So I haven't known this is famous. In fact, I like this book because there are some scenes which I moved. The main character Sara is very powerful. If I have such as hard situation, I definitely want to be like her.

4. My favorite scene is that Sara whisper to herself, "I must be brave. A princess is always brave, so I must be, too."
Whatever happened and it made her sad, she didn't cry and was brave.

5. Sara became a poor girl and was obliged to work hard everyday, but she never gave up her life and she was always brave. Her heart is really beautiful! I thought she was princess truly!
