It was Tom's first train ride. Look, he can drag his own small suitcase with pulleys, what a big kid! He was curious about the special fixtures and details on the train, and couldn't help but "play" with the small table boards, movable armrests, and automatic curtains around the seat, and later thought about how the train worked, and even got off the train. Tom's curious, funny look makes us see that children are so serious and happy to observe and experience the world!
Tom has a puppy

A puppy came to Tom's house, which kept Tom busy. Interestingly, the experience of children raising puppies is the same as that of adults raising children. Tom's speculation, caring and considerate, can't help but be angry at the lesson, and finally helplessly and expectantly said, "But perhaps, when it grows up, it will learn to obey", which is really funny. The puppy was lucky to come to a loving family; Tom and Ina were lucky because the puppy accompanied them through a happy childhood.
Tom over June 1
There may be a thousand ways for children to spend a holiday. In tom's June 1st, there are "many" and "chaos" that children like, as well as orderly order and careful arrangements. Tom and his friends are enjoying themselves at the same time, but they are also trying and giving - they perform "as hard as they can", they are engaged in playing games; adults are not blindly hard, they dance and have fun with the children... Special and ordinary, perhaps an important trait of a meaningful festival!
Tom builds a snowman
For many people, seeing the white expanse outside the window in the winter morning, playing outdoors with thick snow is a huge surprise of childhood, and even the happiness of the whole childhood is "out of reach". Rolling in the snow, snowball fights, sledding, building snowmen... In this book, Tom fulfills almost everything the children want to do on a snowy day. The beautiful snowflakes are a gift of nature, so the little red ski shirt left on Mr. Snowman's shoulder may be seen as a gift from a child to nature?
Tom lost a tooth
The loss of teeth is not only something that every child must experience in the process of growing up, but also has been given multiple colors due to the psychological needs of growth and the different cultural customs of different places. We'll all see this in the story of Tom's teeth loss. Tom, who was careful to eat cereal and swallow his teeth while carelessly falling while running, was not the child next to us. The little mouse that takes away its teeth is not a false legend, but a commemoration of growing up that is cherished enough to produce a warm glow.
