The Library Adventure
by Annika, age 6, Maine
One day three friends, named Lottie, Abby, and Lulu, went to the Falmouth Elementary Library. Abby is five, Lottie is seven, and Lulu is six.
Two friends, Abby and Lulu played tagged. While they were doing that, Lottie went to explore the library. She found a strange book at the bottom of a bookshelf. She turned it over and saw a portal. She quickly wrote a note and dove inside the portal shutting the book behind her.
Inside the portal it was an island in the sea. She didn’t know why, but there was a canoe straight in front of her. She saw a cave and climbed inside. It was dark and spooky. But then, out of the shadows she saw a baby puffin with its\/mama. She snuggled with the puffins.
Back in the library, Abby said “Where’s Lottie?”
Lulu said, “I don’t know. Let’s go explore.”
They soon find a purple book with a note. It says “Abby, Lulu, I jumped inside this portal. Come and find me!”
Then they jumped inside the portal, and they saw an island in the see. And they saw cave, just like the one Lottie saw. They peered inside and found Lottie snuggling with puffins.
The End.

Stuck in the Hamper
by Elsie, age 12, Colorado
This is a story about a mammoth, but it's not going to rhyme. Once upon a time, there was a mammoth named John. One day when John was doing laundry, he got stuck in the hamper! He was more round than square so it was hard to get out. He tried to suck in his stomach but that didn't work. He tried many different things but he still couldn't get out! He was stuck for 3 hours before he remembered he had his phone! He could call for help! He decided to call his best friend Jeff.
"Hi Jeff," said John.
"Hi John. What's up?" said Jeff.
"I'm stuck in the hamper."
"Say no more. I'll be there in a jiffy."
A few minutes later, Jeff was there and he had brought a chain saw! Jeff used the chain saw to get John unstuck.
"You broke my hamper!" said John.
"You're a mammoth you don't need clothes!" said Jeff.
"Oh yeah," said John.
