Wen | the little ants in the book
Alexander was a little mouse.
One day, Alexander encounters another mouse, a clockwork mouse, a beloved toy of the little master Anne, named Willie. When he heard willie say that everyone loved it, sleeping on a soft white pillow at night, next to a rag doll and a wool teddy bear, Alexander thought of his situation very sadly, but he was glad to have found a friend. Gradually, Alexander began to envy Willie, "Why can't I be a clockwork mouse, like Willy, being held and loved?" To this end, Alexander also went to the magician lizard, because it could turn one animal into another.
As long as he brought a purple pebble to the lizard on the night of the full moon, Alexander could realize his dream. So day after day, Alexander began to look for purple pebbles in the garden. Just when we all think that Alexander is bent on becoming a clockwork mouse, the story begins to reverse, and Alexander sees Willie in the middle of the old toys that have been discarded in the big box, and Alexander also finds the small purple pebble without bias.
Reading this, we are all deeply moved, and at such an important and magical moment, Alexander's wish is to ask the magician Lizard to turn Willie into a mouse like it. For we remember that Alexander searched around the garden for purple pebbles in order to ask the lizard to turn himself into a clockwork mouse like Willie, and when he learned that Willie had been discarded and that he had found the precious purple pebble just at this moment, Alexander hugged the small but magical pebble tightly and ran almost breathlessly to the blackberry bush, "Lizard, lizard, lizard in the blackberry bush"—reading this, I almost cried out- "I want to become..."
I loved Alexander and the Clockwork Mouse and read it over and over again, to the kids and to myself. Although I was reading a thin picture book, it was as if I was reading a long novel. In Alexander and the Clockwork Mouse, I felt strongly that Alexander was dynamic, whether it was a scream of succession, followed by a flurry of whispers, cups, saucers and spoons flying around, running as fast as the little foot spread out, running toward its little hole; or Alexander running to find the lizard with flowers and butterflies all over his body, looking for purple pebbles everywhere, clinging to this precious pebble to meet the lizard, and running back to all the Willy's houses as fast as he could. Climb up the edge of the box where the old toys are served, and finally, find Willie at the opening of the hole in the corner, hug Willy, and run together to the garden path, where they dance.
