Zombie Puppies
by Lily, age 8, Illinois
Oh no they are chasing me Bbbzzzzz. Pardon the interruption, but we need to start from the beginning. Oh no they are trying to get in, I might have to jump out a window.
Oh no they are in, Zombie puppies with my dog Cosmo as the leader. I ran to the window and jumped out. I tried to listen to what Cosmo was telling them, but i couldn’t with all the barking going on. They ran out the front door to chase me. Cosmo’s favorite ball was in my pocket so I threw it. All the zombie puppies ran to get it.
I rant to the park where my friends Emily Ricky were playing. I told them we needed to run, because the x zombie puppies were chasing me. We went to their house to get some dog treats. We made a special formula made of peanut butter, pickle juice, strawberries and mashed up plant leaves.
We left them on the ground where Cosmo and the puppies ate them all. They turned into real Puppies again and we all were safe and happy again.
Our adaptation of Zombie Puppies was written by Eric Gersen
The Particular Pigeon
by Gus, age 7, Hawaii
Once upon a time there was a particular pigeon and this pigeon was a particular pigeon because this pigeon was not afraid of anything. He could do whatever he wants. He ate corn, played videogames (such as MarioKart, Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft). He went skiing- he didn't listen to his teacher, he just skiied. And the pigeon lived happily ever after. The End!

Training Wheels
by Margo, age 4, Vermont
Training wheels are actually just training to be big wheels on a grown-up bike. And did you know that I'm actually a teacher of training wheels? I teach them what is healthy to eat. I train them how to get big. And I also teach them how to spin. I teach them how to be brave because they're sometimes scared on a grown-up bike.
Once I had a bike with training wheels and when they grew up, they were on my mom's bike. At first they were kind of nervous. But then they got braver and braver and braver.
