BEACH

The ocean is full of surprises.  Here I am watching the waves with my family.  Mom and me go in the waves.  A wave comes and goes around our feet, and swallows a sand castle.  The next wave comes to my stomach.           
Uh-oh!  This wave takes me under.  It tosses me, and turns me, and spits me out.  I have rocks in my suit.  I get up but another wave pushes me down.           
I go back in the waves and another wave takes me under so I decide to get out and play with my brother.  We dig a hole 2 feet deep.  It comes to my shoulders.  I don’t go in the water for a long time.  This hole is so deep that it goes to my brother’s face!           
Later, I go back in the waves.  Uh-oh, the waves are rough!  The next wave is so big! “Ahh!”  I say.  Splash! Ow!  I hit the bottom!  I come out of the water, but suddenly another wave comes!  I can’t swim away!  Swish!  “Help me!”  I scream.  Bam!  I smacked the bottom of the ocean!  A whale swims past me.  I swim to the top which is a long way.  I realize I feel land and I climb out.  I am on a small island.  I run into a foot tall man.  He says the name of the island is Icozmicooz.           
“What???”  I said.           
“I-coz-mi-cooz,” he said in a sterner voice.           
“Okay, okay,” I said.           
“What???” I thought, aloud.  He grunted at me and pushed me in a wave.  Ow!  Ow!  Before I know it, I’m back.  “Ugh”  I said.  My mom is waiting for me.           
“Hi”  she says.  I tell her what happened.           
“Oh my silly little storyteller!” she said.  “I love you.”           
“Me too,”  I said.  “Me too.”

 I just got a poster about Henry’s Book Club in one of my book review magazines.  I felt like I had to write about it.  On some leaf in the family tree I am related to Henry Bergh of the ASPCA.  Bergh is my maiden name.  But most of all, I love animals and know that some of the most popular books at Pashley are pet books!  Check out Henry’s Book Club. We have this month’s book- ER Vets.   Visit their Animaland site and check out the pet care section and cartoons, too.

Fearless Kate, Timid Sticky, Cranky Constance and Thoughtful Reynie are told they are “the only hope.”  What is their “dangerous mission?”  You’ll have to read to page 100 to find out.  It’s really creepy, too.  Like someone you can’t see whispering in your ear at night when you are in bed.  And to keep the story going… kidnappers are after the kids.  Thank goodness they have the secret rooms to hide in.

So… if you are listening to this book in Mrs. D’s class or have read it… why do you think Patricia MacLachlan wrote the prologue for Edward’s Eyes?  Click on the comment link below and jot me a note.
