I Wonder

I wonder if clouds have feelings I wonder if they cry on purpose I wonder if the moon is just the sun wearing a disguise I wonder if worms dream of flying I wonder if I am someone else's dream

Mystery

The Missing Mango

The cereal aisle was quiet. Too quiet. Detective Biscuit sniffed the floor. Mango. Recent. "The thief was in a hurry," he said, adjusting his tiny fedora. "And they were hungry." He looked at the shopping cart. The cart looked back. "You saw everything," said Biscuit. "Didn't you."

"My daughter used to say she "wasn't a writer." After 6 weeks at Scribble she asked me to buy her a second notebook because she filled the first one. I cried in the parking lot."

Adventure

Gerald the Accountant Dragon

Gerald breathed fire every April 14th. Not because he was angry. Because that was tax season, and the numbers never added up. "You're a dragon," said his coworker Janet. "You could just burn the forms." "Janet," said Gerald, "that is tax fraud."

"He narrates EVERYTHING — the dog's morning routine, the bus ride, what the clouds are thinking. Scribble gave that a home. His teacher called me last week to say his essays are "a pleasure to read.""

Autobiography

The Life of Biscuit (As Told By Him)

Chapter 1: The Day I Was Born I do not remember being born. But I remember the first smell. Socks. Then carpet. Then the word "puppy" which I later learned meant me. Chapter 2: The Couch Incident I was framed.

"We homeschool and Tuesday afternoons used to be a struggle. Now Mia counts down to Scribble. She came home last week with a 6-chapter novel about a cat detective. Six chapters. She's seven."
