“[NAME] at the Zoo”

At the zoo with a bag of fruit and a juice, [NAME] meets a moose with a very big tooth. The moose wants the fruit, and when [NAME] says no it chews [NAME]'s blue boot instead. So [NAME] swaps: the fruit for the boot, which comes back soggy. Moose and [NAME] have their snack side by side.

“[NAME] and the Bloom”

[NAME]'s plant has a tight bud and Mom says it will bloom in the sun. So [NAME] is up before the sun, out in boots on the cool dewy grass with the moon still sitting on the roof, and rescues the bud from a hungry snail. When the sun peeks up, pop: a big blue bloom for Mom.

“[NAME]'s Loose Tooth”

[NAME] has a loose tooth and cannot chew: no fruit, only juice and stew with a spoon. Then Sis brings a flute. [NAME] blows the biggest toot ever and the tooth pops out, straight into the flute. Sis tips it out, and [NAME] shows off the gap and chews the fruit at last.

“[NAME]'s Pup Hut”

[NAME]'s pup has nowhere to sleep, so [NAME] and Grandpa build a hut from a box with a tube of glue. The pup chews the roof clean off. A screw from Grandpa fixes it for good, a coat of blue paint finishes it, and under the moon the pup naps at last.
