For Liz

The sun is shining,
The grass is green,
It's Spring!
Give it a ring!

Are you shocked I still remember the lyrics (and melody) to our old song?

The Wolf Ate the Brew

A short story by Little E

Once upon a time there lived a beg bad wolf that ate people. And then he shivered them and put them in his nose.

A crayon walked inside the house. He said "You don't have eyes!"

The crayon cut off the wolf's head.

The policeman saw that the crayon save the kids and grown-ups. He said, "You saved them!"

The policeman got a paper and it said, "You got them out of the wolf's tummy and you saved them!"

And the crayon was tired. So he slept on someone's head.

Spiderman came and said, "You are a hero!"

Little E wrote and illustrated this book in preschool this week. Just a couple of days ago a friend and I were discussing current literature and she commented that the key element for novels right now is a unique voice (think Death in The Book Thief). Develop that Crayon voice, E, I think we may have a best-seller.
