One Day...

So Elsie is a devoted reader. Many times a day, she gathers up a pile of books and climbs into a chair, a bed, a box, whatever is handy and begins reading. She reads her books or my books. She often incorporates the words she's heard us use with the pictures she is seeing in her books. She also incorporate aspects of her own day in her books. The books vary, but one aspect of the story remains the same: As she turns the page, she begins "one day...." So here is a transcription of a book of mine, People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, which she was "reading" in bed this morning:

"One day.... lots of words.
One day... monster came.
One day... hungry.
One day... eat pancake.
One day... stick sticky.
One day... coughing.
One day... night night.
The End."
