Little Chris

 

 

This is one of Lincoln's favorite books. I have probably read this book to him five times a week for the past few months. MONTHS, people! The story is about a dog who wants a boy for Christmas. The puppy's mother tries to find him a boy, but there are no boys to be found. As you can see in the picture below, she asks him if he would rather have a rabbit, canary, or some guppies for Christmas? The puppy says no, he only wants a boy. The rest of the story consists of the puppy searching everywhere for a boy.

A couple nights ago, Lincoln asked if he could read the book to me. We came to this page and here's what he said:

"Would you like a rabbit? No.
 Would you like a parrot? No.
 Would you like some fish? Yes! I would love some fish!

 But then his mother didn't give him ANY fish! Poor kitty ... "

What?! Poor kitty?!

It reminded me of a story about Chris. Chris had to write a book for school when he was in first grade. His book was called "The Fox and the Dog"  (which we still have, by the way). Every single page is talking about how the fox and the dog did this and that. The last page reads, "This is the end of the story of the fox and the rabbit."   Rabbit?! Whaaaat?!

Love these silly boys so much :-)
