The following is a book the boy wrote for Author’s Night, a class activity where all the kids read a story they created. The kids have been keeping a writing journal for the year and were asked to pick one of the stories they wrote to work on it for Author’s Night. The final product was a book. I have transcribed the book exactly as it was written. The horizontal rules indicate page breaks in the source material. There is also artwork in the book, perhaps I’ll get that up at a later point.
The Reading Sheep
Once upon a time there was a sheep. His name was Furryhead and he liked to read.
His favorite books are hard to read but he can read them with a little help from his mom or dad.
Furryhead likes to read in the car, in his bed, and even when he was taking a shower or bath!
Everywhere he goes, he reads.
He reads books because he likes to read books. He reads easy books with no help at all.
He reads big books, little books and medium sized books too. He doesn’t care what size book he reads.
His favorite book is The Tortoise and the Hare. His second favorite book is Superman. He likes both fiction and non-fiction books. He likes comic books too.
He likes any book he sees. He doesn’t care what book he gets. It doesn’t matter to Furryhead.
His favorite books are funny to him, but not really to his parents.
Furryhead really LOVES his books!

Well, his endings are already better than Grisham…if he keeps it up and expands on the plot a bit, he may be good to go.
