On Saturday he ate through: chocolate cake, ice cream, a pickle, swiss cheese, a cherry, a lolipop, a sausage, a cupcake, and a watermelon. He had a tummy ache!

Goodnight Moon By: Margret Wise Brown

There was a great green room there is a phone, a red balloon, and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon. Three little bears sitting on chairs. Two kittens, a pair of mittens, a toy house, a young mouse, a comb brush, a bowl of mush, and a quiet old lady whispering hush. Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon. Goodnight light. Goodnight red balloon. Goodnight bears. Goodnight chairs. Goodnight kittens. Goodnight mittens. Goodnight clocks. Goodnight socks. Goodnight little house. Goodnight mouse. Goodnight comb. Goodnight brush. Goodnight nobody. Goodnight mush. Goodnight old lady whispering hush. Goodnight stars. Goodnight air. Goodnight noises. Goodnight everywhere.

If you Give a Pig a Party By: Laura Numeroff

If you give a pig a party she wants ballons. Then she wants to decorate the house. Then she wants to wear her favorite dress. Then she wants to call all her friends. All her friends are not home so she wants to go and find them. She sees a fair on the way and wants to do bumper carts. All her friends are there. She wants to go on all the rides. She wants to play all the games. She wants ice cream. She wants to change her clothes from the ice cream. She wants to bring all her friends with her. She wants to play hide and seek on the way home. She wants to make dinner when she gets home. Then she wants to have a sleepover. She has to find pj's and pillows and blankets. She wants to have a pillow fight. She wants to build a fortress of blankets. She wants to deocrate the fortress with balloons. If she has balloons, she wants to throw a party.
