Simon's Book (by Henrik Drescher)

2/5 = OK

Little Fox said, "It was OK.  I thought it would be awesome."

Momma: What happened in the book?
Fox: They thought the monster was mean.
Momma: Was he?
Fox: No.
Momma: It is funny that his drawing came to life.  Have your drawings ever come to life?
Fox: No.  I wouldn't want them to!
Momma: If you could draw something that you KNEW would come to life, what would you draw?
Fox: A person...a nice person.
Momma: I would draw a castle for us to live in.  And a nice dragon that would let me ride on his back.  And a big hot tub to swim in.  And cake to eat!
Fox: I'd staple paper together...paper as big as our house...and I'd draw a cake that a whole bunch of people could eat.  I'd draw gigantic pictures of EVERY food.  If we didn't have a house to live in, I'd draw a giant house, too.
