Ben's Loose
Tooth
"I’m always last," Ben sighed. "Last
to learn to whistle. Last to lose a
tooth."
Ben's older sister, Kate, was
always bossy. "Jiggle your teeth,"
she said. "Find one that’s wiggly
and wobbly." Tooth by tooth, Ben jiggled. He wriggled the last
tooth. "It’s wiggly. It’s wobbly!"
"Tug it," Kate said.
"Uh!” Ben mumbled. “It’s stuck in my gums."
"Hmmm.” Kate scrunched her nose. "Munch that apple."
Ben took a bite. “Ouch! No luck.”
"Hmmm," said Kate. She tapped her pinky against her chin. "I’ll
scare it out of you! That's how you get rid of hiccups. Maybe it
works for teeth too."
Ben squeezed his eyes shut. He held his breath. He waited and
waited. "Hey! When are you going to scare me?" He propped
one eye open.
"How scary would it be if I told you?" Kate asked.
"Well—,” Ben said.
"Boo!" cried Kate. She flapped her arms.
Ben's fingers flew to the tooth. He wriggled it. He jiggled it.
“Blah! I’ll never lose a tooth." He hung his head. "I’ll never learn
to whistle, either."
"Whistle? I can teach you!” Kate said. “Pucker your lips. Leave
a tiny space."
Ben scrunched his lips together.
“Perfect.” Kate smiled. “Now, shoot the air out. Hard.”
With all his might, Ben blasted air. Outburst a high note—with
his tooth!

The Strange Star
by Anita
N. Amin
Rosie loved watching the night sky. It shined with so
many stars.
Sometimes, she would climb onto
Papa’s shoulders. She’d feel like a princess,
sitting closer to those stars.
One afternoon, Papa said, “We’re going
to the beach! Won’t that be fun?”
Rosie wasn’t sure. “Will my stars
be there, too?” “Maybe,” Papa
said.
So they went to the beach. But it was foggy that night – no
stars in sight. “Let’s see what happens tomorrow,” Papa said.
“Okay…” Rosie frowned.
The next morning, they went back to the beach and Rosie gathered
seashells.
Rosie found something strange. It looked like a big, orange, bumpy
star. Had it fallen from the sky? And why wasn’t it glowing?
“It’s not a star.” Papa smiled. “It’s a
starfish. It lives in the ocean.”
Rosie put the starfish in the ocean.
They watched the waves wash it back
home.
Then Rosie looked for more starfish. She
liked stars AND starfish.
