by the kids at the Thomasville Library
One day, Bella the Cow was riding her bike through the zoo. She was carrying her favorite book, The Big Book of Cows, as she rode. Bella was a skinny cow who loved to talk and read non-fiction books about - you guessed it - cows.
Before she realized what had happened, a small, green 8-eyed alien, who was hiding in the bushes, reached out and grabbed Bella's book! Bella was surprised and angry, but before she could react, the alien was gone!
Bella didn't know what to do, until her friend Kendall, a cute 4 year old girl who LOVES to go to the Thomasville Library, came along. When Kendall heard what had happened, she said, "I know just what to do!"
Kendall waited until the alien was out looking for more books to steal and she snuck into the alien's hideout, got Bella's book and ran like crazy back to the zoo. The alien was arrested and had to spend 200 years in alien jail, and even though Bella got her book, she was sad, because the alien had lost her favorite bookmark.
The End.
Maybe Kendall will help her find her bookmark in another story. Can you write a story about Kendall and Bella searching for the missing bookmark?

Hey Tommy;
ReplyDeleteWe were at the Sue Kellogg Library in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Wow! My kids were so excited to see you and your cast of characters today. They had once some time ago had a chance to see you. My baby girl (6 years old) really love the greedy Hippo. She was so touched by all the stories and tricks you did, she picked up several books to check out on the way out of the library.
Keep up the good work of getting kids to run to read. Also, I was impressed how you greeted each child that came in the room. That actually made some of them forget they were shy.
Sincere Thanks Linda, Ya'kub, Aaseyah, & Joseph Ayers :-)
May God bless you another 50 years to help the little minds to grow and explore.
