maybe the best book ever written by a 5 1/2 yr old

Clearly, I am totally biased on this issue. So I guess you'll just have to read and then judge for yourselves.

(Oh, in case you can't tell what this is: this is a blank book intended for just this very purpose--to inspire kids to author their own story. This particular book has an empty oval center on each page. L. started with that, and built up the rest of the plot.)

    I hope L. never, ever stops doing stuff like this, even when she's all grown up. You did such a great job!!

    I was shocked by the ending. I had really been holding out for 'black tomato that's walking'.

    that's impressive:creativity and ability to express it so well. I am amazed and you are not biased but lucky to be her wonderful Mom (a thought for the wonderful Dad as well)
    My favorite was that of the Black Snow Man.
