A Birthday Present for My Mom
It was almost my mom’s birthday, and I still had not
bought her a gift. I was shopping with Mom when we
stopped at the window of a shop that sold music boxes.
Mom smiled a huge smile when she looked at the boxes.
That was when I got my idea.
When I got home, I whispered my idea to Dad. The
next day, Dad and I went back to the shop. I spotted the
perfect music box for Mom. It had little figures of a boy and
a girl on it. They held flowers and a present. The girl even
looked like me!
When Mom opened her birthday gift she smiled and
hugged me. Then she wound up the music box. “Happy
Birthday” tinkled through the air.

Now Mom winds up her music box when anyone in our
family has a birthday. Each time it makes me think of when

A Very Cool Day
It was going to be another hot day. I glared at Pedro
Penguin, the cartoon character on the cereal box. He looked
nice and cool on his block of ice.
“Hey, pal, too hot for you?”
I looked around. Who said that?
“It’s me, Pedro. Just close your eyes and jump! You’ll be
here in a flash!”
I stared at the box. It was Pedro, and he was talking to me!
I did what he said. When I opened my eyes, there I was with
Pedro! Everything was a cartoon! It was nice and cool!
Pedro and I played cool games all day. We swam, slid down
icebergs, and went ice fishing. When it was time to go, Pedro told

My Toy Monkey
I have a stuffed animal named Mickey. He
is a monkey. I won him as a prize at the fair one
summer. He has brown fur, brown eyes, and
a red tongue. When I visit the monkeys at the
animal park, I think of Mickey. Real monkeys are
brown and furry like Mickey. They have long tails
and round ears like him, too.
But real monkeys are also very different
from Mickey. Real monkeys are bigger. They
are busy and loud. They swing from tree to
tree and scream at each other. Mickey is quiet
and doesn’t move unless I pick him up. He lets
me hold him close. I know Mickey isn’t a real
monkey, but that’s okay. He is real enough for

Mr. Mills, Our School Crossing Guard
Everyone at Lake View School knows Mr. Mills. That’s
because he has been the school crossing guard for ten
years. He holds up his special sign to stop the cars. Then
he makes sure all the children are on the sidewalk before
the cars start to move again. Mr. Mills is the reason that the
children in our school are able to cross the street safely.
Before he was our crossing guard, Mr. Mills worked at
the University Hospital. His job was to direct people who were
in the hospital for tests to the proper location. Mr. Mills said,
“I guess I have always helped people get from one place to
another.”
Mr. Mills is busy when he is not working at our school.
He enjoys spending time with his three children and his two
grandchildren. On the weekends, he especially likes to work
in his garden. Mr. Mills said that last year he grew so many
tomatoes that he could have given one to every child at Lake

Title: Where on Earth Is My Bagel?
Authors: Frances Park and Ginger Park
Where on Earth Is My Bagel? is about a
boy who wants a New York bagel. Yum Yung
writes a message asking for a bagel. He sends it
with a pigeon. After waiting, he thinks his bagel
must be lost. He asks people if they have seen
the bagel. Finally, he gets a message back from
someone in New York.
It was fun to read a book that takes place in
Korea. I thought it was funny that the characters
Yum Yung meets do not know what a bagel is.
I think children who like reading about
faraway places should read this book. The

Anansi the Spider and Turtle
One day Anansi the spider baked some tasty yams
for dinner. Just as he was about to eat, Turtle knocked
at his door. Anansi was greedy, but he knew it would be
impolite to eat his yams without offering some to Turtle.
So he asked Turtle to join him.
Just as Turtle reached for a yam, Anansi said, “Turtle,
you must wash your hands before you eat.”
So Turtle went to the river to wash his hands. When
he returned, Anansi had eaten all of the yams. Turtle felt
sad, but he said, “Dear Anansi, thank you for asking me
to join you. Please come to my house tomorrow and I will
repay your kindness.”
The next day, Anansi rushed to Turtle’s home. Poor
Anansi! Turtle’s home was underwater. All Anansi could do
was float on top and watch Turtle enjoy a wonderful meal.
Anansi learned that when you trick someone, you may be
