Put Me In A Book!

On their way back from the lake, Mrs. O’Dell’s class saw a man sitting on a park bench, holding a big book.

“Hi” said Hailey, “Whay are you doing?”

“I’m trying to finish this book.” Said the man, “It’s a picture book, but I don’t know what kid I am going to use in the story.” “Wow!” said Hailey, “Can you put me in the book?”

“are you absolutely sure you want to be the kid in this book?” said the writer.

“Yes!” said Hailey.

“Wonderful,” said the writer, and he picked hailey up, folded her and flattened her, and stuck her in the book.

“Wow,” said Mrs. O’Dell, “It is a great honour to be in a book.” Then she took everyone back to school, put the book on her desk, and went to tell the principal the wonderful news.

The book started to flip-flop up and down and say “Gwachk!”

Ethan opened the book and said “Hailey, are you okay? Do you still want to be in this book?” “Help!” yelled Hailey, “I am folded and scrunched and trapped and stuck, and I want to get out and go home.” “Don’t worry,” the class said, “We will get you out.”

Rachel tried to scrape Hailey out of the book with a fingernail, “Aaaaah!” yelled Hailey, “That hurts!” “I know what to do,” said Jakob, “We’ll pull the book apart, and Hailey will fall out.” So a bunch of kids got on each side of the book, and they tried to pull it apart. “Aaaaah!” yelled Hailey, “You’re stretching me!” “Just twist the book and Hailey will pop right out.” Said Kiku.

They started to twist the book really hard. “Aaaaah!” yelled Hailey, “You’re scrunching me!” “This scraping and pulling and twisting are not working,” the kids said, “we have to think of something different.” “Photocopy” yelled Cole. “We can use the photocopy machine in the staff room and copy Hailey out of the book.” So everyone ran to the staff room and Cole tried to copy Hailey, out of the book, but the machine only made pictures of Hailey. The real Hailey was still in the book.

“I know what to do,” said Laura, “We can squeeze her out of the book.”

She put the book on the floor and everyone got on top. For a while nothing happened, then, Hailey’s nose sproinged out of the book. The book looked very strange with a nose. “Aaaaah!” yelled Hailey, “you’re squishing me.” The kids jumped off.

“Well,” said Ethan, “At least the principal will be happy.”

“And,” said Cole, “Mrs. O’Dell loves having someone in her class in a book.”

“But,” said Kiku, “Hailey’s mom and dad will not be happy that their kid is stuck in a book! How can you kiss someone goodnight when she is stuck in a book?” “I’ve got it,” said Laura, “we can change the ending.”

They ran back to the park, took the writer’s marker, and wrote at the end of the book:

Then Hailey jumped out of the book, and told the writer to find some other kid for his story.

“I don’t understand,” said the writer, “It is an honour to be in a book.”

“Right,” said Hailey. She took the marker and wrote:

And then the writer wrote himself into the book. He could not get out and was stuck there forever!

“Aaaaaaaaah!” yelled the writer from inside the book.

Jakob, opened it and said “Don’t worry, it’s an honour to be in a book.”

Then Hailey gave the book to the librarian. The librarian loved having a writer in the library. And the book was very popular because it was the only one that bounced up and down on the shelf and yelled: “Help! Help! Help!”
