"But, Mr. Beaver," said Lucy, "can't we-- I mean we must do something to save him". The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, is  about four siblings: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who explore their new house when Lucy wonders into a wardrobe. She finds herself in a wood and eventually all four children go into the wood, called Narnia. They start to explore when they find out that Edmund later went to Jadis' house (an evil witch's castle) and is now trapped. The only person that can save Edmund and the rest Narnia is a lion Aslan. Throughout the story Lucy shows kindness and fairness to almost everybody she meets.
I think the movie makers chose good actors and the movie followed the book pretty well.

I am now very happy that the evil witch, Jadis, cannot harm Narnia. She is not only trying to rule Narnia, but was trying to get me to use the magical apple, rather than obey Alsan. I almost fell for her tricks when she told me I could heal my mother with it and live happily with her. I snapped back to my senses when I realized how wrong it was and when the witch suggested that I leave Polly alone. In the end, I felt good that I planted the tree and that the witch will be kept away from Narnia for a long time (one bonus is that I still got to give my mother an apple that healed her).

Rain Poem

As the rain falls on my head

I think of sleeping in my bed

When I wake I'll go outside

With those raindrops at my side
