The following is a book the lass 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.
My Cat, DC
My cat is the funniest in my house.
He eats dry food. My cat’s name is DC.
I like to pick him up. I like my cat because my cat is special to me.
I like to pet my cat. I like to cuddle with my cat. I like to play with my cat.
My cat is a sleepy head. My cat sleeps all day and stays awake all night.
He likes Fancy Feast that is his most favorite food.
My dog chases my cat. The cat runs up stairs into my mom’s and dad’s bedroom. My dad yells at my dog.
My cat’s favorite spot is on my mom.
My cat is fat. He drinks his water, he does not drink milk.
My cat stayed away for five days. My mom looked for him. When we found him, he was on the porch.
I have fun with my cat. Sometimes he hisses at me and sometimes he scratches me.
DC is silly, he rolls around. I can’t rub his belly because he will scratch me or hiss at me. I don’t like it when he scratches me or hisses at me.
When me and my brother and my mom and dad go away, DC is good. When we go away we have to keep my cat inside.
Once, he took over my pillow.
My cat is as soft as a dog’s ear. I love DC a lot.
He is so cute. When he rolls on his back he is even cuter.
My cat won’t run away from my family unless my dog chases him away. I am going to love him forever.
The End
