This is only my first attempt on the narrative and was working on a book. So it is in processs. Like writing is a process.
Frankie the Frog
One day Frankie the Frog was jumping from one lily pad to the next, wondering where all the other frogs like Frankie lived.
Frankie was always the only frog in this pond and often is there was anyone else like him out there.
So one day Frankie decided to go on a hopping scavendar hunt for other frogs like him. So as Frankie leaves he begins to hop and hop and Croak and croak.
As Frankie starts his journey he runs into a tree frog, which is named Bertha. Bertha was so unhappy to see another frog on her turf. She said move on threw, move on threw no room for you here. You don’t belong here. All Frankie wanted from Bertha was to ask her a question or two and she would not allow it. So Frankie went on to hopping and croaking. Croak, Croak
Frankie the frog now comes to a big carpenter frog named Bobby. Bobby was on a gigantic lily pad all by himself. Frankie thought for sure that Bobby would help him find more frogs like Frankie. Bobby says you do not belong here with all of us bull frogs get out of here. Frankie was sad and move on. He started to hop, hop, and hop so more to find some frogs just like him. Croak Croak.
So, Frankie is hopping for a long time now and comes up to this beautiful pond and he noticed something right off. There were not just one frog at this pond but they were many frogs and frogs that look just like him. Frankie was so excited he did not know who to ask or what to do. Frankie finally saw a frog that look just like him just a tad bit larger. It was a big bull frog and his name was Billy. Frankie started to ask Billy why he was the only frog at the other pond and Billy said Hey Frankie it’s me your cousin you got lost from us. That was no pond that was a puddle. We live hear and were wondering when you would make your way back. Frankie the frog was so excited to be home with all his family and friends that he kept on saying Croak, croak, Croak.

This is a really cute story Kimberly. Don't forget to put quotes around the speaking parts and I think you misspelled scavenger*. It looks great so far.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kim! It has a great plot to it. It is a great book to show the students there are different types of frogs. I think when you read it out loud, you will be able to hear if the story lines flow or not. Also remember, it will all come together when you add the pictures. The illustrations can say so much more than the actual words in picture books.
