The Friend Who Saved The Team
Nicholas

In my story was titled The friend Who Saved the Team. It was about a basketball game when a guy comes out and hits Kyle and Cody. They got hurt but there was a friend in the stands. He called the hospital. The hospital fixed them up and a month later they were back on their feet. They started playing again. I like this story because it is happy and a little sad.

The Three Little Cats
Erin

My title of my book is The Three Little Cats. I enjoyed illustrating. My story is about 3 cats that get taken by some people. The cats ram away from their owners. The cats found some dogs. I liked illustrating because I got to color when I was done. I liked writing in my white book because I got to copy the words down. We're donating them to a children's hospital. This is good because the people that are hurt get to read something so they feel better.
