　　W: Good evening, everyone. I'm Susan Brite. In tonight's Reading Time, I'd like to talk about the book titled Good Question: A Tale Told Backwards.The story was written by Sue Whiting, but the pictures were drawn by Annie White. The book is about a poor fox who is eager to find food. He meets some of the most famous tale characters and finds adventure after adventure. However, he cannot seem to find anything to eat! Will he find his meal finally? I'm not going to tell you that. If you are interested, you can buy the book for your kid and find it out yourself. The book just has 32 pages. It costs 25 dollars to buy. This book is naturally great for a young pre-reader or a beginning reader, but it even works for an older child. This is because the book has a wonderful theme. It is the value of finding and keeping your place. If you're looking for a book for your child, this one won't let you down. That's so much for today's program. Thank you for your listening!
