writing and illustrating

Ella has been a little reader since, well, almost birth. (I may exaggerate slightly...) I remember her sitting with books as soon as she could sit up. For instance:


Since she can actually read now, she has taken a liking to penning her own stories. It all started when I found this amazing "create your own storybook" kit at target on clearance. (An amazing deal, I might add...normally $20, marked down to $3.50!)

She wrote and illustrated her own fairy tale in no time. Some days, she couldn't wait to get home from school to work on it.

But I prefer some of the handmade books she's been making lately.




This story reads:

One day, Ella's Mom got a cat for Ella. A dog can go "RRRRRR at a cat." I loved the cat. Thank you Mom for the cat. The Mom said, "I love the cat." Until the cat had babies.

I LOVE this story!

Too funny. And hilarious that you loved the cat until it had babies. I'm amazed that she can write and draw so well!

I know...pretty funny. She knows me too well. Always asking for a pet and I'm always saying no. Of course I would dislike a pet who multiplies!
