BOOKS FOR CHILDREN - excerpts
ONE DAY WITH MISTY
PAGE 7 - 8
We share the same crate. That means that we are neighbours. We can keep each other company.
I stay in my crate with Orange Cat for many weeks. But one day, a man visits with us. He has a little boy with him.
"Which one do you like?" the man asks the little boy.
"I like the orange one," The little boy says.
"Good choice," the man replies. "The other one is too old."
That day the man and the little boy take Orange Cat away to live with them.
I am all alone.
Will any little boy or girl come and want to take me home?
I feel very sad because I know that no one seems to like old cats.
ELEPHANT AND THE BUMBLY BEE
PAGE 21 - 22
They traveled far, so far; too far,
The jungle is gone. In Toronto they roam,
"Bumbly, I'm scared. I don't like it here!"
"Trust me, have fun, Elephant dear."
Elephant danced with all his heart,
This experience was brand new,
The music played and it was loud
And Bee was dancing too.
His first ride on a bicycle
He hoped he would not fall
He did his best to balance
And had the best time of all.
THE LAST DROP
PAGE 10 12
Father comes home
at the end of the day
Daddy, can we go
outside to play?
Goodness me, no,
no, no; not yet
In this downpour
you will get soaking wet.
How much longer
must we wait
Until the rain
decides to abate?
I don't know the answer
said both Dad and Mom
but smile, Dad encouraged
no need to feel glum.
Just think of the fun
you can have in your room
There's really no reason
for sadness and gloom.
