=Lizzie took some carrot sticks out of her lunch box and went over to =Kate.
"Want some carrots,
=Kate?" she asked. =Lizzie hoped =Kate still had an envelope for her.
"Sure," =Kate said. "Want some raisins?"
"OK," =Lizzie said. Then =Kate walked away and sat with =Tommy.
=Lizzie took her lunch box behind the easel and ate by herself.
She painted a picture of angry faces.
"No happy faces today?" Ms =Healy asked. =Lizzie just shrugged.


the next day, the children talked about the recipe.
"We have the sugar, the oranges, and the pears,
but we do not have the cranberries," said Mr =Parks. 
"Where can we get some cranberries?" asked =Kim.
"My mom has some," said =Gus. "Mine, too!" said =Ted.
"We can get some at the store," said =Bud.


Adapted from an =African folk tale 

An old moose had been king of the forest for a long time. He had watched over the emerald green
trees, the tall pines, the silver birches, and the forest flowers. He had been the great protector of
all the animals, birds, and insects.
All the creatures bowed with respect whenever his majesty passed by. The animals were always
happy to see his majestic antlers. They were like a
shield of safety.
"It's getting dark," said =Dad. "Time for bed."
They put out the fire with lots of water and sand.
There was not one sign of smoke.
=Mark and =Darleen wiggled into their sleeping bags.
They couldn't keep still. They tried and tried to
sleep but they heard so many scary sounds.
All of a sudden =Mark yelled, "I want my night
light!"



There's wonder in every book you read,
In every story and poem.

The =RoyalCanadianMint makes all the money that =Canadians use. The =Mint had a contest
asking =Canadians to design new =25 cent coins to celebrate =Canada's past and future. More
than =60000 people sent in their ideas for these new Millennium coins!
One coin was chosen for each month. June's coin shows the =CanadianPacificRailway, and the
coin for July shows different jobs that =Canadians have. December's coin shows mountains,
prairies, and water.


=ClaudiaBertrand, from =Beauport, =Quebec, designed September's coin. =Claudia was ten years
old when she sent in her picture. She is the youngest person ever to design a =Canadian coin.


Balloons travel as fast or as slow as the wind. Balloon races test how well a pilot can move a
balloon, not how fast it can go.

Pilots cannot steer their balloons. They can only make them go up or down. Wind moves in
different directions and at different speeds at different levels. The pilot studies the wind and takes
the balloon up or down to hit a stream of wind. Flying a balloon is a lot like sailing a boat.


=Katie and I can't check any more because we
have a job to do at the Community Hall.
Everyone in our family is busy setting up
tables, moving chairs, and blowing up balloons.
"Come on in!" says Aunt =Peggy. "Where
have you been? We've been looking for you
to help us set up for the community supper."
We all work like beavers
and the job is finished in a split second!
Well-maybe not quite.


This is the mother rabbit.
The baby rabbits drink
the mother's milk for food.
The mother made the nest
before her babies were born
and lined it with dried grass, moss,
and fur from her own body.
She leaves her babies alone in the nest
when she is not giving them milk.
Suddenly,
=RodeoPup
grabbed my
fishnet tights
with his teeth
(he would
never, ever
hurt me) and
unraveled
them as
he ran off
towards the
schoolyard.
Later, in the
school's office,
my teacher
comforted me.
=Rodeo Pup
had to sit
very still
and be
on his best
behavior.

There once was a farmer
whose name was =Tillie. She had
a small farm with her husband, =Fred.
Every day they both worked hard.
One fine spring morning =Tillie woke up
earlier than usual. Her husband was fast asleep.
"I'll go milk the cows and, while I'm gone,
I'm sure =Fred will make the breakfast."
Off she went to milk the cows.


Just as =Jocelyn was starting to dig
for worms, her friend =Jenny came along.
She showed =Jenny the long worm she had found.
Now they both can look for more worms they 
and for other animals in the backyard zoo.
