A Starry Story

There was a star

And her name was Glow.

She wanted to explore

The oceans below.

“Space is fun,”

She told her mum,

“But I want to swim

Under the sun.”

She splashed and swam

In the ocean blue,

Explored all day

And the evening too.

Then it was time

To go to the sky.

She could not go home

So she cried.

A starfish came by

And saw Glow.

He lifted her up

And let her go!

Back in the sky

Glow lay in bed,

Resting her tired

And worn-out head.

What a fun day it was for Glow!

Stars

Diamonds in the sky.

Always flying high.

Moonlight makes

you twinkle.

Someday you will fly.

Shimmer and shine.

Glitz and gleam.

You’re always in my dreams.

Stars.

Hi, Oshin,
I love many shades of purple, but
especially orchid and lavender. And we’ll
take good care of Amy. Thank you.
Love,
Thistle

Dear Spider,
I love the activities that you publish in
the back of your magazines! So far, I have
three of those awesome things!
What did the wave say to the shore?
Nothing, it just waved.
What mammal is the key to dawn?
A donkey!

Dear Everybuggy,

odents where I live. So here is Esteban. He

Dear Sonya,

I have heard you like to read, and so do I!

What type of insect are you?

Spider, because everyone is scared of

spiders, you could scare people by climbing

on them.

Phoebe Richards

Sonoma, California

I’m a dragonfly, Phoebe.

Love,

Sonya

I’d rather trick everybuggy than scare

them, Phoebe. That’s why April Fools’ Day

is my favorite day of the year!

Cowabunga!

Spider

Dear Spider,

I hope you enjoy this picture and

I would also like to say that I like your

magazine. I really like the Doodlebug

and Dandelion stories. My favorite

character in Spider is Ophelia the

praying mantis.
