Mike's mother, Sue, recently had a birthday.
The kids and I spent one morning trying to think of something we could make her as a gift.
Kate wanted to paint her a picture. "My think Grandma will love it."
David said, "Hey, I know. Grandma likes books. She reads me lots of books. I'll make her a book."
I wrote the words for him, but they were all his. Mike helped him with the illustrations. He was so excited about it. He hid it in a cabinet until Sue came for dinner.
The title: "My first book."
It went something like this:
Once upon a time there were a lot of Triceratops.
Then came a big T-Rex.
Then came a Spinosaurus.
Then came an Ankylosaurus.
Then came a Woolly Mammoth.
Then came a mouse.
They were a family.
It was a fantastic book.
