This is a story that is just familiar to me; I mean the feeling of telling the pass time to someone who lives in nowadays. Although the one is not my grandpa, neither my grandma, it would still be interesting and exciting for children to listen the story that happened in the years before they were born. My father and mother always tell us that “you should be grateful to what you have now, because in the pass time, there were nothing interesting but working hard to get a better life!” It is good to hear the old telling their experiences, maybe their experiences were not always true; however, these would be good advice for us in our life. 
I like the story’s colors. The story uses variety of colors and the colors all make me feel warm, just like the grandparents love their child. It is a kind of happiness. I also like the way they described the dance and song man. The words and sentences are vivid, just like the images that we have to them. For example, “he tucks small, white pads inside the shoes so his corns won’t rub, and he turns on the lamp’s and aims each one down like a spotlight.” The sentences describe the preparation for the show. I can almost see how he prepared the stuff in front of me. This is one of the reasons that I love the book.
