comments:

1. Work on the language. It is too direct. Try to put more description, more feelings, give more details to make it rich. Keep it simple for children but have to engage the imagination. Beware of the translation- you might lose something form it.
2. Keep testing this on children. Do not think the research part is finished.
3. The idea of making Taiwanese version- total 4 books printed out in the end.
4. The idea of changing sausage into Rice cake.
5. About the C.V.:
a. Some words changed on the first page
b. Need more work for the layout on the third page
