The Twin Club By: Iua Cumpiano
One day last summer, a lady said to us, “Twins! How cute!” Jorge put a silly look on his face and I tried very hard not to roll my eyes. Jorge and I are not twins. We are not even brothers. We’re cousins.
We are best friends. But a lady called us twins. We could start a club. It would be the Twin Club! Even
before we were the Twin Club, we stayed all summer with Grandma Ines. We did everything together. Now we were the Twin Club. We had a secret
handshake. We built a clubhouse. It was big. But it was hard for both of us to fit. And, as Twins, we
made a promise. “We’ll always, always be friends,” we told each other.
Together, we walked around Grandma’s beautiful small town. We did tricks in front of stores.
Someone, somewhere might have a better club than ours. But I don’t think so!
Then one day, Grandma said, “I have news.
The summer is almost over, chicos,” she said. It’s time for you to go home to your parents.”
It was too soon for the summer to end! “Jorge and I won’t live here again until next summer, Grandma.
We won’t be the Twin Club anymore, Will we?” “Juan Ramon, your parents miss you very much.
They are looking forward to having you back on the farm. And soon you will start second grade. School will be fun!” Grandma Ines said. Oh, no it won’t. I
thought. We knew it really was both good news and bad news.
We would be with our families and friends again, which was good. But Jorge and I would not be
together, which was bad. Very, very bad. Grandma was right. Being back home on our farm
was great. The first day back, I went for a walk to our neighbor’s barn. I climbed a ladder in the barn
and jumped into the soft hay. I said hello to the goat. The old goose chased me!
That night, I watched fireflies in the meadow. I thought about the Twin Club when Papi drove me to
the bus stop in the morning. I thought about the Twin Club during the bus ride to school. It was a
really long ride. I thought about the Twin Club when I picked fruit
off our trees and when I watched fireflies. I thought about the Twin Club all the time.
Then, one day, I got an e-mail message. It was from Jorge.
I still missed Jorge. But I remembered what I liked about my home in the country.
Jorge remembered he liked walking in his neighborhood.
And do you know what was even more fun? Changing our club name to “The AMAZING E-mail
Twins”! Now we write to each other about everything. And we are making plans for next summer at Grandma’s.

Exploring Space with an Astronaut
By: Patricia J. Murphy
3---2---1---Lift –off! A space shuttle climbs high into the sky. Inside the shuttle, astronauts are on their way to learn more about space. An astronaut is a person who goes into space. Astronauts fly on a space shuttle. The space shuttle takes off like a rocket. It lands like an airplane. Eileen Collins is an astronaut. She was the first woman to be a space shuttle pilot. She was also the first woman to be the leader of a space shuttle trip. She and four other astronauts worked as a team. Some astronauts flew the space shuttle. Others did experiments. In the space shuttle, astronauts float everywhere. Sleeping bags are tied to walls. Toilets have a type of seat belt.
Astronauts exercise to stay strong. They take sponge baths to keep clean. Astronauts test ways to live and work in a world that is very different from Earth. In space, there is no up and down, no air, and the sun always shines. Astronauts do experiments. They look for problems and fix them. This will make space travel safer. A space shuttle is a giant toolbox! It holds tools, such as computers, that help fly the space shuttle. Astronauts use robot arms to move things and people outside the shuttle. On space walks, space suits keep astronauts safe. Eileen Collins and her crew had a special job to do. They took an X-ray telescope into space with them. First, they tested the telescope. Next, they flipped some switches and let the telescope go into space. Then, the telescope used its rockets to fly higher into space. They did experiments with plants and exercise machines. They were studying life without gravity.
When there was some time to rest, the astronauts could look out their window. They saw Earth from many, many miles away! Do you like math and science? Do you like to visit new places? Do you like fast roller coasters? Astronauts do too! Maybe someday you will become an astronaut, just like Eileen Collins.

Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night By: Cynthia Rylant
In August Henry and Henry’s big dog Mudge always went camping. They went with Henry’s parents. Henry’s mother had been a Camp Fire Girl, so she knew all about camping. She knew how to set up a tent. She knew how to build a campfire. She knew how to cook camp food. Henry’s dad didn’t know anything about camping. He just came with a guitar and a smile. Henry and Mudge loved camping. This year they were going to Big Bear Lake, and Henry couldn’t wait. “We’ll see deer, Mudge,” Henry said. Mudge wagged. We’ll see raccoons,” said Henry. Mudge shook Henry’s hand. “We might even see a bear,” Henry said.
Henry was not so sure he wanted to see a bear. He shivered and put an arm around Mudge Mudge gave a big slow, loud yawn. He drooled on Henry’s foot. Henry giggled, “No bear will get us, Mudge.” Henry said. “We’re too slippery!” Henry and Mudge and Henry’s parents drove to Big Bear Lake. They parked the car and got ready to hike. Everyone had a backpack, even Mudge (His had lots of crackers.) Henry’s mother said, “Let’s go!” And off they went. They walked and walked and climbed and climbed. It was beautiful. Henry saw a fish jump straight out of a stream. He saw a doe and her fawn. He saw waterfalls and a rainbow. Mudge didn’t see much of anything. He was smelling. Mudge loved to hike and smell. He smelled a raccoon from yesterday. He smelled a deer from last night.
He smelled an oatmeal cookie from Henry’s back pocket. “Mudge!” Henry laughed, giving Mudge the cookie. Finally Henry’s mother picked a good place to camp. Henry’s parents set up the tent. Henry unpacked the food and pans and lanterns. Mudge unpacked a ham sandwich. Finally, the camp was almost ready. It needed just one more thing. “Who knows the words to “Love Me Tender”? Said Henry’s father with a smile, pulling out his guitar. Henry looked at Mudge and groaned. It was a beautiful night. Henry and Henry’s parents lay on their backs by the fire and looked at the sky. Henry didn’t know there were so many stars in the sky. “There’s the Big Dipper,” said Henry’s mother. “There’s the Little Dipper,” said Henry.’ “There’s E.T.,” said Henry’s dad. Mudge wasn’t looking at stars. He was chewing on a log.
He couldn’t get logs this good at home. Mudge loved camping. Henry’s father sang one more sappy love song, then everyone went inside the tent to sleep. Henry’s father and mother snuggled. Henry and Mudge snuggled. It was as quiet as quiet could be. Everyone slept safe and sound, and there were no bears, no scares. Just the clean smell of trees…… and wonderful green dreams.

A Walk in the Desert By: Caroline Arnold
See the bright sun. Feel the dry air. It is hot-very hot! Where are we? We’re in the desert. Let’s take a walk and see what we can find. The ground is dry in the desert. It almost never rains. With so little water, it is hard for anything to live. But many plants and animals make their home in this harsh climate. You just have to look closely to see them. Cactus is one kind of plant that grows in the desert. It doesn’t have leaves. Instead, it has sharp spines. The spines protect the cactus from animals who might want to eat it. A cactus stores water in its stem. It uses the water when there is no rain. Look up at the tall saguaro. It is a giant among cactus plants. It took many years to grow so tall. In late spring, white flowers bloom. Birds and
insects drink the flowers’ sweet nectar. After the flowers die, a red fruit grows. The saguaro cactus is home to many desert creatures. Tap, tap, tap, pecks a woodpecker. It is carving a hole for its nest. Old holes become nests for other birds. A hawk is searching for food below. Its sharp eyes can spot even a tiny mouse. What is that large bird? It’s a roadrunner. Coo, coo, coo it calls. The roadrunner hardly ever flies, but it can run fast. Watch it chase a lizard to eat. Here are some other lizards. Lizards need the sun’s heat to warm their scaly bodies. But when it gets too hot, they look for shade. A rattlesnake lies next to a rock. The earth color makes it hard to see. Rattlesnakes are dangerous. A bite from one will kill a small animal. If you hear a rattlesnake shake its tail, it is trying to scare you away. Look! Did you see that rock move? It isn’t a rock at all. It’s a desert tortoise. The hard shell
protects the tortoise from enemies and from the hot sun. The tortoise uses its sharp beak to break off tough desert grasses. It sometimes eats cactus fruits, too. The jack rabbit is also a plant eater. Watch it sniff the early evening air. It is alert to the sounds and smells of the desert. When danger is near, the jack rabbit’s long legs help it to escape quickly. As night begins to fall, the desert air cools. Animals who were hidden or sleeping come out to hunt and feed. A hungry coyote howls to the moon. Do you see the small kit fox? Big ears help the fox to hear well so it can track animals to eat. The cool night is full of activity. The desert is an exciting place to visit. You can ride a mule along a deep canyon, slide down a sand dune, learn about wildlife at a nature center, or taste sweet jelly made from prickly pear fruit. You can find deserts all over the world. Not all deserts are alike. Some are hot. Others are cold. But in all deserts there is little rain.

Let me tell a tale about Will the white whale. Will is as big as a bus, but he is quite nice. Will is not a fish, but he swims like one. He

dock. Sid the Shrimp is his best bud. Big Will hides Sid from big hunting fish. Will got a friend that is a fine match. His name is El.

Pitch and catch with Beth. When Chet finished shelling shrimp, he grabbed his white pen with red ink. It was his checking pen. Chet made one check next to “Help Mom shell shrimp.” Later Chet checked that he had shopped. Then Chet checked that he set the trash out and dusted in the den. Dust made Chet’s nose itch. Pitching and catching with Beth was fun. When he had finished, Chet checked it on his list. As Chet made his check, his pen ran out of ink. “You must add a sixth thing to that list,” said Beth, “Get a fresh pen!”

The Strongest One By: Caroline Arnold
NARRATOR: Little Red Ant lived in a hole under the Big Rock with all of its relatives. It often wondered about the world outside: Who in the world was the strongest one of all? One day in late spring, Little Red Ant decided to find out. LITTLE RED ANT: I am going to find out who is strongest. I am going to go outside and walk around. SECOND ANT: Be careful! We ants are very small. Something might step on you. THIRD ANT: Yes, we are the smallest and weakest ones of all. FOURTH ANT: Be careful, it is dangerous out there!
LITTLE RED ANT: I will be careful. I will find out who is strongest. Maybe the strongest one can teach us how to be stronger. NARRATOR: So little Red Ant went outside and began to walk around. But as Little Red Ant walked, the snow began to fall. LITTLE RED ANT: Ah, my feet are cold. This snow makes everything freeze. Snow must be the strongest. I will ask. Snow, are you the strongest of all? SNOW: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? SNOW: Sun is stronger. When Sun shines on me, I melt away. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Ah, Sun must be the strongest.
I will ask. Sun, are you the strongest of all? SUN: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? SUN: Wind is stronger. Wind blows the clouds across the sky and covers my face. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Wind must be the strongest I will ask. Wind, are you the strongest of all? WIND: House is stronger. When I come to House, I cannot move it. I must go elsewhere. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: House must be the strongest. I will ask. House, are you the strongest of all? HOUSE: NO, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you?
HOUSE: Mouse is stronger. Mouse comes and gnaws holes in me. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Mouse must be the strongest. I will ask. Mouse, are you the strongest of all? MOUSE: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? MOUSE: Cat is stronger. Cat chases me, and if Cat catches me, Cat will eat me. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Cat must be the strongest. I will ask. Cat, are you the strongest of all? CAT: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? CAT: Stick is stronger. When Stick hits me, I run away. Here it comes!
LITTLE RED ANT: Stick must the strongest. I will ask. Stick, are you the strongest of all?: STICK: Fire is stronger. When I am put into Fire, Fire burns me up! Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Fire must be the strongest. I will ask. Fire, are you the strongest of all? FIRE: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? FIRE: Water is stronger. When Water is poured on me, it kills me. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Water must be the strongest. I will ask. Water, are you the strongest of all? WATER: No, I am not the strongest.
LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? WATER: Deer is stronger. When Deer comes, Deer drinks me. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Deer must be the strongest. I will ask. Deer, are you the strongest of all? DEER: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? DEER: Arrow is stronger. When Arrow strikes me, it can kill me. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Arrow must be the strongest. I will ask. Arrow, are you the strongest of all? ARROW: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you?
ARROW: Big Rock is stronger. When I am shot from the bow and I hit Big Rock, Big Rock breaks me. LITTLE RED ANT: Do you mean the same Big Rock where the Red Ants live? ARROW: Yes, that is Big Rock. Here it comes! LITTLE RED ANT: Big Rock must the strongest. I will ask. Big Rock, are you the strongest of all? BIG ROCK: No, I am not the strongest. LITTLE RED ANT: Who is stronger than you? BIG ROCK: You are stronger. Every day you and the other Red Ants come and carry little pieces of me away. Someday I will be gone. NARRATOR: So, Little Red Ant went back home and spoke to the ant people.
SECOND ANT: Little Red Ant has returned. THIRD ANT: He has come back alive! FOURTH ANT: Tell us about what you have learned. Who is the strongest of all? LITTLE RED ANT: I have learned that everything is stronger than something else. And even though we ants are small, in some ways we are the strongest of all.
