The Little Unicorn's Birthday

Last week Paige wrote her first book. Neely and I sat down with her in the playroom, and she told me exactly what she wanted it to say, and I told her how to spell it. She did such a good job, especially considering she wrote and illustrated it with her wrong hand.

It's called "The Little Unicorn's Birthday".
The first page:
It says "1 time there was a herd of unicorns. It was a little one's birthday. Unicorns don't like to go out in rain."
The 2nd page:
It says "Dora and Boots came. The little unicorn made a wish for a blue teddy bear. The End."

I love the drawing she did on the first page:
It's Dora on the left, with Boots next to her. The little unicorn is blowing out the candles, kind of in the center of the page, and she has a little dream bubble above her head with a blue teddy bear inside. And as you can see, there's an ACTUAL blue teddy bear below the unicorn, I'm assuming a gift from Dora.

Paige is so smart! When I taught kindergarten, my smarter kiddos were starting to write stories like this about 1/2 way through the year. She has a great imagination. :)
