A New Version of The Wild Toboggan Ride

There was a girl.   She never rode in a toboggan before She said, "Dad, my friends go to the hill and ride toboggans. They said it’s fun. Why can’t we try?" "It’s not fun, said Dad.  They are just saying that. You might get hurt." "Please Dad!  I’ll be good," she said. "Okay, we will try," said Dad. "Let’s go get to the truck." It’s going to be fun!" she said. "We don’t want to waste time." "This is fun, Dad. Watch out for that tree!" she said. "Ouch!" they both said "That was fun! Let’s go back and ride one more time, Dad, Okay?"
The End

By Derrick C

I went sledding in the snow one day and suddenly! I started down the hill and went through a snowman, still going down the hill gaining speed. Bump! I crashed! I’m going to do that tomorrow!

THE MEAT EATERS ARRIVE
Illustrated by Linda Hendry Toronto, Scholastic

 The vegetarian Brontos live in domestic bliss with the neighboring Iggys and Steggys, having pool parties and chatting over the fence, until the vacant housenext door is sold to a family of (Tyrannosaurus) Rexes. The whole neighborhood isaghast and the fearful residents lock themselves in their basements. When Mrs. Bronto surfaces to search for ferns, she finds an invitation to dinner from the Rexes. Believing it to be a summons to their own demise, they are insulted and freshly fearful, and it is not until the day arrives and they smell the unfamiliar aroma of steaks on the barbecue that they realize their fears are groundless, and the invitation genuine. The final few pages showall the dinosaurs cozily co-existing in sunny suburbia.
