tyree leaned the last piece of cardboard

against the leg of the chair

and looked at it carefully to be sure it

was standing just right

then he crawled under the chair and he

tried to look out he couldn't see his

mother doing her homework on the table

so he knew she couldn't see him

mama he called you don't know where i am

where in the world are you his mother

said

i'm inside my hiding place

oh you are huh is mother said

well in just a minute you have to come

outside your hiding place

it's time for you to go to bed tyree

laughed again and he stuck his head out

mama he said you forgot

daddy's coming home i can't go to bed

his mother put her pencil down and she

leaned her

arm on the table now

you know i didn't forget that tyrese she

said

your daddy he won't be home until early

in the morning

look at his mother well i know

it tyree said but i want to surprise him

i have to stay in here

all night long his mother said

so he said it again yeah

mama i won't get sleepy

his mother said now your daddy'll wake

you up

when he gets here i don't want him to

wake me up

tyree yelled his mother didn't

understand

his daddy had been away taking care of

grandma

for a whole month and now that grandma

was better

he could come back home tyree wanted to

hear his

daddy's car door slam and hear his

daddy's hard shoes on the steps

and here is daddy's key clicking in the

door

he didn't want his daddy to wake him up

well he crawled out of his hiding place

and a piece of cardboard fell

down his mother was making him mad

and she was making him break up his

hiding place too

he sat down hard on the floor

i don't want to go to bed he yelled

i i have to wait for daddy

his mother got up from the table and she

came

over and she knelt beside him she stood

the cardboard up again

and then she put her arm around him

now listen ty she said

tyree knew he had won then

he always won when she said now listen

ty

in a soft voice like that he stopped

looking mad

and he made his face look real real

sad his mother looked at him hard

then she looked at him soft and she said

okay i'll make a deal with you

if you put on your pajamas and you sit

in the big chair

you can stay up then when it's

almost time for daddy you can hide

isn't he a sweet-looking mother what a

great face

now look at this tyree looked at his

hiding place

i won't know when it's almost time he

said

yes you will his mother said and she

took

both his hands and she pulled him up now

you come on over to the window and i'll

show you

now look at the sky right there right

over mr walker's house

what do you see tyree cupped his hands

around his face so he could see better

nothing he said just dark

well when it's almost time you see

something else

his mother said because every morning

just before the sun comes out it sends a

pink light out first

so that you can watch it right here

and when you see that first pink light

it'll be time to hide okay

tyree thought for a minute okay

he said that's okay

and then his mother leaned over and she

pointed to her cheek and he gave her a

loud kiss

then he ran to his room and he put on

his pajamas fast and he came back and he

jumped into the big chair

why don't you get your pillow his mother

said

so your head won't get tired tyree got

his pillow

and he put it behind him in the chair

then his mother said

i bet your blanket would feel pretty

good right now

well he got his blanket and he wrapped

up in it

and it did feel good his mother was

right

he looked over at her she was at the

table

and she was frowning but he knew it

wasn't

about him it was a homework he

had won his mother wasn't mad

he looked out at the sky over mr

walker's house

as soon as he saw the first pink light

he would get inside his hiding place and

when he heard the key in the door

he would call his daddy and keep calling

him

and his daddy would follow his voice and

find him

tyree laughed thinking about how he

would jump out into his daddy's arms

he leaned his head back on the pillow

and he stared at the sky for a long time

and the pillow got softer and the

blanket got

warmer and just before he felt his eyes

closed

he knew his mother had won but he was

too sleepy to care

he smiled in his sleep look at that

smile

tyree didn't wake up when the sun

stretched its first pink light across

the sky

and he didn't hear the key clicking in

the door

or see the man with a strong brown face

when he stood beside him and looked at

him for a long

long time he didn't wake up

until he felt a big hand on his arm

and even then he didn't wake all the way

up

all the time he was reaching out to hug

his daddy and his daddy was holding him

real

close and carrying him to bed

all the whole time he was wishing his

daddy would never ever have to go away

again

tyree never opened his eyes

well in due time first i'm gonna read

the cat who lost his purr written and

illustrated by michelle

coxen i like this one it's a very good

book

okay boodle woke one morning without his

purr

his house was quiet and empty where is

my

purr wondered boodle who was normally

happy and contented

he washed and thought hard when did i

have it last

but like all cats he was not very good

at remembering yesterday

he didn't know about things like

tomorrow or the names of the days of the

week

or even that the world was round to him

it was flat

and today it was perlis

the things he knew were useful like if

it was a wet fur day

or a drive for a day or what time his

tins were opened

and when his milk was poured i will go

and find my purr

decided boodle and he set off

boodles started by looking in the

bathroom

drip drip drop went the tap

is this my purr no the wet drip sound

was not

his purr is my purr down here

no it was not in the place where his

unfurry friends sometimes

sat you see

boodle heard a sound very much like his

perm

[Music]

is this my purr no it was just a fly

so he ate it where did that noise go

wondered boodle

licking his lips

he went downstairs to the kitchen where

there were lots of interesting sounds

the fridge hummed softly and it smelt

good

boodle was a clever cat he knew how to

open the fridge and look inside

is my purr here no not even inside the

sausages thought boodle

feeling rather full look at him making a

mess

there was a sound from under the

cupboard scratch scratch scratch

that sound could be my purr but the

scratch and squeak

ran away from his fine sharp claws look

at that

a pleasant

came from the clock could that be my

purr he wondered

poodle climbed up but a yellow bird

knocked him down with a loud coco

meow yelled boodle look at him

in the laundry room the washing monster

made lots of loud

wet gurgling noises

shush is my purr having a wash

boodle thought a cat thought which isn't

very long

and looked until his whiskers felt dizzy

no my purr is not there it hates getting

wet

in the sitting room the fish blew

bubbles at him from their watery world

bubble wobble bubble

boodle didn't like getting his paws wet

either so he could not find out if the

fish had his purr

he turned away sadly

my purr must be outside in the sunshine

it loves the warm sun

thought boodle but he had to chase away

some naughty birds who were stealing his

milk

crash broke a bottom

a thrush looked as if it might be

banging his poor purr on a stone

crack crack crack boodle rushed to the

rescue

but it was only an unhappy snail which

crawled away without even saying thank

you

you know cats appreciate good manners

snails are always miserable and they

never smile

i've never seen a snail smile i didn't

even know they had lips

boodle went back to the house in a

downtail mood

cats don't cry cause that makes them wet

a poor me side bootle he had a drink of

milk to help him think

and licked all the chocolate off some

biscuits just for comfort

and then he heard a sound lots of sounds

coming into the house

voices of his two-legged unfurry friends

my openers of cans my pourers of cream

my stroker's a fur they were home

and they had found his purr he purred

with joy

[Laughter]

wow at last his life which to a cat

means today was

perfect he was the most contented cat in

the whole flat garden of his world

and would be until the end of his

whiskers and now

his tail is told

that was great nice book oh i love that

story you know they say that the world

is divided into two kinds of people

cat lovers and dog lovers what kind are

you dog

dog yes there's a few boats

for all you are all you cat lovers can

somebody tell me something really

special about cats melissa they're soft

they're very soft anybody else yeah

they have a very nice purr they do

as we saw boodle had a nice prayer too

yeah

some of them have marble eyes i was just

thinking that they have

very pretty eyes well i know that a long

time ago in egypt

cats were said to be gods and they were

treated with a lot of respect really

special

yeah you know mayam the cat in that

story was kind of a

troublemaker plus plus i think he was

maybe just a little bit

dense losing his purr oh brother

yeah but if you notice it was the little

boy who brings the purr back to the cat

because as we learn cats purr when

they're really happy

yeah that's right you know i think

somebody ought to start a collection of

these books

you know the cat that lost his purr the

dog that lost his

bark the fish that lost his scales uh

anyone else anyone else yes toby

yes the horse that lost his tail that's

a good one how about you melissa

the lamb who lost his ma or his bah

anyone else hey i've got one

how about the bears who lost their

porridge you know because that's what

our next story is about

does anybody know which story i'm

talking about

and the three bears retold and

illustrated by jan brett this is one of

my personal favorites

and um this is the one i was telling you

about kino it has someone

over sleeping oh brother

i can't wait okay here we go

once upon a time there were three bears

who lived together

in a house of their own in a wood one of

them was a little small

wee bear and one was a middle-sized bear

and the other was a great huge bear

they each had a bowl for their porridge

a little bowl for the little small wee

bear

a middle-sized bowl for the middle-sized

bear and a

great huge bowl for the great huge bear

and they each also had a chair to sit in

a little chair for the little small wee

bear

a middle-sized chair for the

middle-sized bear and a great

huge chair for the great huge bear

and they each had a bed to sleep in a

little bed for the little small wee bear

middle-sized bed for the middle-sized

bear and a great huge

bed for the great huge bear

one day after they had made their

porridge for breakfast and poured it

into their porridge bowls

they walked out into the woods while the

porridge was cooling

while they were walking a little girl

named goldilocks came to their house

first she looked in at the window then

she peeped in at the keyhole

and seeing that no one was home she

lifted the latch

the door opened before her and in she

went

how pleased goldilocks was when she saw

the steaming porridge on the table

the sweet smell of the porridge with

roasted nuts

honey and berries filled the room it was

so

tempting that goldilocks set about

helping herself

first she tasted the porridge of the

great huge bear

but it was too hot then she tasted the

porridge of the middle-sized bear

but it was too cold and then she tried

the porridge of the little small

wee bear and it was neither too hot nor

too cold

it was just right she liked it so much

that she ate it all up she was hungry

then goldilocks sat down in the chair of

the great huge bear

but it was too hard for her then she sat

down in the chair of the middle-sized

bear

but it was too soft for her and then she

sat down in the chair of the little

small

wee bear and this chair was neither too

hard

nor too soft but just right so

goldilocks seated herself in it

and there she sat until the bottom of

the chair gave way and down she came

plump

upon the floor

then goldilocks went upstairs to the

bedroom in which the three bears slept

first she laid down upon the bed of the

great huge bear

but that was too high at the head for

her next she laid down upon the bed of

the middle-sized bear

but that was too high at the foot for

her then she laid down upon the bed of

the little small wee bear

and that was neither too high at the

head nor foot

but just right so she covered herself up

comfortably

and fell fast asleep

by this time the three bears thought

their porridge would be cool enough to

eat

so they returned home for breakfast now

goldilocks had left the

spoon of the great huge bear standing in

his porridge

somebody has been at my porridge said

the great huge bear in his great

ruff-ruff voice

and when the middle-sized bear looked at

hers she saw that the spoon was standing

in it too

someone has been at my porridge said the

middle-sized bear

in her middle voice then the little

small

wee bear looked at his bowl and the

spoon was in the porridge bowl

but the porridge was all gone somebody

has bitten my porridge

and has eaten it all up said the little

small wee bear in his little small

wee voice upon this

the three bears seeing that someone had

entered their house

and eaten up little small wee bears

breakfast began to look about them

now goldilocks had not put the hard

cushion straight when she rose from the

chair of the great huge bear

somebody has been sitting in my chair

said the great huge bear in his great

ruff-ruff voice

and goldilocks had crumpled the soft

cushion of the middle-sized bear

somebody has been sitting in my chair

said the middle-sized bear in her middle

voice

and you know what goldilocks had done to

that third chair

somebody has been sitting in my chair

and has sat the bottom right out of it

said the little small weed bear in his

little small wee

voice then the bears thought it

necessary that they should make a

further

search so they went upstairs to their

bedroom

now goldilocks had pulled the pillow of

the great huge bear

out of its place somebody has been lying

in my bed said the great huge bear in

his great ruff-ruff voice

and goldilocks had pulled the cover of

the middle-sized bear out of its place

somebody has been lying in my bed said

the middle-sized bear

in her middle voice and then the little

small wee bear

came to look at his bed and there was

goldilocks

sleeping peacefully her long shiny

braids spread across the pillow

little small wee bear just stared at her

for a moment

and didn't say anything but then he

cried

somebody has been lying in my bed and

there she is

goldilocks had heard in her sleep the

great rough gruff voice of the great

huge bear

and the middle voice of the middle-sized

bear but it was only as if she heard

somebody speaking in a dream but then

she heard the little small wee voice

of the little small wee bear it was so

sharp and so shrill and so like her own

that it awakened her at once

up she started and then she saw the

three bears on one side of the bed

and so she tumbled herself off the other

and ran to the window

out goldilocks jumped and ran away as

fast as she could run

not looking behind her until she was

very very far away

and what happened to goldilocks

afterwards no one can tell

but the three bears never saw anything

more of her

oh i i don't know about this story

what don't you know kino well well first

why did she go into the bear's house

what do you guys think christian why do

you think the goldilocks went into the

bear's house and ate their porridge

yeah toby because no one

was moving that's right nobody was there

stacy

maybe she was hungry maybe she was

hungry and tired

yeah it's true well well why would the

bears let her go

i mean if i got home and somebody had

eaten my supper

well i'd be pretty upset yeah but the

bears didn't do anything

i i i still don't know about that

goldilocks taking the bear's breakfast

well i bet she won't be doing that again

yeah you know i'm sure she was really

scared of those bears when she saw them

oh well now it's time for us to make our

story picks of the day
