THIRD GRADERS
COMPOSE OWN
TEXTBOOKS
When the third graders
returned to school after the
Christmas holidays, they
found that their room had
been flooded and all of their
books had been ruined by the
water. This didn't "dampen"
the spirits of these kids; they
pitched right in and wrote,
illustrated, and bound story
books of. their own.
Here are a few stories
from their books.
Kermit, the Frog
by Kathryn Ross
One day a mother frog was
about to have a baby. Her
husband named him Fred.
Fred was well trained and
had very good manners, so
his dad bought him a
motorcycle. But one day he
was speeding. A policeman
stopped him and he got a
ticket. But that was the last
thing he ever did wrong.
Then, after that he became
President of the frogs, and.
the people of the town
named him Kermit, the Frog.
The Fat Woman and
The Thin Man
by Cheri Duffle
Once upon a time there
was a fat woman and a thin
man. They lived in a big
brown house. One day the
thin man brought home a
dog and a cat. The fat woman
was allergic to them. She
yelled at him and then
sneezed. They had a
problem. So they thought
and thought. Finally the thin
man had an idea. He took the
dog and the cat back and
they lived happily ever after.
p
The Mouse's Hole
by Lisa Shingleton
Once there was a mouse
named Tim. He had a family
and their names were Sue,
the Mother, Bob, the Baby,
Fuzzy, the Baby's Brother,
and Wuzzy, Fuzz's brother.
One day when it was warm,
Fuzzy and Wuzzy went to the
woods to gather berries for
supper. They went farther,
and farther into the woods,
but they didn't find any
berries. When they went a
little farther, they saw a hole.
It looked like theirs at home,
but they didn't know that the
hole was their home. While
Fuzzy and Wuzzy were at the
hole, Bob, the baby, was in
bed thinking of what he
might do when he woke up.
Finally he thought of
something he would do. "I
will play with my toys."
Meanwhile back at the hole,
Fuzzy and Wukzy decided to
go in and there were Mamma
Mouse, Daddy Mouse, and
Baby Mouse.
The Bouncing Spot
by Todd Kucko
Once there was a blue ball.
It was always getting into
trouble. Once he was
bouncing and cracked a
window. He said, "Oh, Oh."
A man got a gun and almost
shot him. Then he went into
a restaurant and broke some
glasses and plates and bowls
and spilled soup all over the
place. A policeman chased
him. The ball got his gun and
shot the policeman in the
back. He got on his
motorcycle and wrecked it.
He had plastic surgery.
When he got out of bed he
was a bionic watermelon and
was faster, stronger, and
better than he was before.
A Dog Without A Tail
by Teresa Lile
Once upon a time there
was a dog. He had no tail. He
was sad because all the other
dogs had tails. He asked his
mother if he could get a tail.
His mother said, "Ask Old
Owl." So the dog went to Old
Owl. When he got there the
owl said, "I don't know, ask
Mr. Bear." So he went to Mr.
Bear. When the got there
Mr. Bear said, "I don't know;
ask Rabbit. So he went to
Rabbit. When he got there
the Rabbit said, "I don't
know. Ask the King of the
Jungle. So he went to the
King of the Jungle. The King
of the Jungle said, "I know,
go to the wishing well. So he
went to the wishing well. He
wished for a tail, and he got
his tail. He lived happily ever
after.
The Little Star
by John Vogt
Once upon a time there
was a little Star. He was
called a comet. The other
stars called him names until
one day he vanished to Mars.
And nobody ever called him
names again. And he lived
happily ever after.
My Friend The Cat
by Jamie Cundiff
Once upon a time I went to
my great, great grand-
father's. He had some baby
kittens. I took the cutest one
home. I named him Elvis
because he sang all .the time.
One day we got a new puppy.
He was a cute puppy. He
started chasing and hurting
Elvis and made him run
away. I whipped the puppy
because it was his fault that
Elvis left me. Another cat
came and she had kittens.
Now I will have cats all the
time.

was the fastest car in Texas.
The man who owned the car
was a robber and he went to
a bank and stole "$3,000. He

The Ice Cream Island
by Kim Berger
A long long time ago there
was a girl named Kathryn
and she was stranded on an
island. She liked to swim
except she couldn't because
the water was ice cream. She
didn't have anything to eat
so she ate the ice cream. She
loved it, to, but if a plane
came she couldn't get out
deep enough to write S.O.S.
because the ice cream was
cold and if she got in the
shallow ice cream she
couldn't write S.O.S. One
day a helicopter came by and
she got out deep enough so
theygot her.
The Spoiled Hippo
by Kathryn Ross
Once there was a hippo
and her name was Mary. She
always made faces at the
teachers. One day Mary and
her brother, Pete, went to the
zoo. They saw all kinds of
animals. Then Mary said,
"let's go see the alligators.
"O.K." said Pete, and they
went. But Mary got too close
and fell in. The alligator ate
her and didn't feel good for a
week.
Bubble Gum Kid
by Colt Ferrell
There is a town way down
in the mountains. This is a
small town. Once there was a
kid. I did not know his name.
He loves bubble gum. That
explains everything. He was
the Bubble Gum Kid. His
real name was Bobby, and of
course his mother called him
Bobby, but everybody else
called him Bubble Gum. He
never liked gum. One time
he went with his dad to the
ranch and got some Big Red.
He liked it so he lived happy
ever after.
The Two Fat Purple Pigs
by Kathy Thompson
Once upon a time, a
mother pig went to market to
buy some food. Meanwhile at
home two fat pigs, or you can
call them two very fat pigs
were playing in the mud and
the mother was on her way
home in her car. Mother just
got in. What a mess[! She
said, "You just go to bed
right this minute. 1 have to
clean up this mess." Next
day Mother Pig did not go
anywhere because she did
not want to clean the mess.
The pigs went to a house
they picked out and they
found a house to play in the
mud. But when they went
home they cleaned up the
mess all over again.
