Imaginary Pets
By Natalie H. and Avery M., 5th grade
Did you hear about the duck who lives in Avery’s bathtub? We didn’t think so. His name is Linda, but we’re not talking about him. No, we’re talking about his girlfriend, Pickles. She is a lime green flying pig who lives in Avery’s toilet. She has a big fat tail. Pickles likes to jump through hoops, grow small, swim, and eat. She likes to eat pickles.
Next up… Cookie! Cookie is Natalie’s pet horse. Guess what her name is. It’s Cookie. She lives in Natalie’s shower. One thing that Cookie likes to do in her free time is run up to Avery’s house and eat her bed. So if you ever wonder why Avery’s bed has teeth marks on it, now you know! Did we mention that Cookie is a pinto horse? That means that she has big spots all over her. She likes to eat cookies. Not just any cookies: snicker-doodles.
Those are our amazing imaginary pets. What are yours? Leave a comment below!
Okay, so I’m going to have to take a look at your bed, Avery. Teeth marks? You guys really need to work harder on training Cookie! But most of all, I’m delighted to finally meet these fine friends and see what they really look like. Great teamwork on the art today, too, and thanks for the extra effort on editing. I am going to miss having you in publishing. It’s been fun watching you interview, imagine, draw, write and photograph (well, okay, 200 pictures of Vicki’s ducks was a little much)!
Creativity and imagination will get you a long way in this world. Your team is set! (And now I know who to hire next time I need an illustration of a horse, pig and toilet.)
cool!!!!! I love this blog.
