Grace Writes

Mommy's tired. Mommy says I don't sleep much and I eat all the time and keep her up all night. Silly Mommy. Why is she tired if I'm the one who's up all night? I'm not tired at all. I like getting up at six.

Mommy says her new book is going to sound funny because she "doesn't have a thought in her head." Silly Mommy. Books are supposed to be funny. And involve barnyard animals. I like books. They taste good.

Mommy says writing's hard. Silly Mommy. That's why they put so many pictures in books. I like pictures. Especially pictures of octopus.

Mommy says she loves me. I love Mommy, too. So nap silly Mommy, nap. And I will write your book for you.

Mommy's New Mystery
by Grace

See Bad Guy. See Bad Guy pull gun.

Run Good Guy, run!

See Bad Guy. See Bad Guy trip over Good Guy's foot.

Good, Good Guy, good. Now hide!

See Bad Guy. See Bad Guy get mad. Chase, Bad Guy, chase.

Good Guy hides in barn.

See horse. Feel horse's silky coat. What sound do horses make? Neigh.

See Bad Guy. Search, Bad Guy, search.

See cow. Feel cow's wet nose. What sound do cows make? Moo.

Oh no! Bad Guy sees Good Guy.

Leap Good Guy, leap.

Fight, Bad Guy, fight.

Neigh, says the horse. Moo, says the cow.

Bluh, says the octopus.

Good Guy grabs gun. Grab, Good Guy, grab!

Boom, says the gun. Boom, boom.

Good night Bad Guy.

Good night room. Good night moon!

Good night little babies all tucked in bed.

Now wake up mommy and play instead!
