Excerpt
Hello everyone! My name is Talee. It’s spelled T-A-L-E-E and it is pronounced (TAH-Lee).
I just came in from outside. The sun is out and the air feels warm.
Can you feel it?
Today I want to tell you a story I wrote about one of my GREAT adventures.
It’s a real story. Really!
It happened a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, but first I should tell you about me.
The first thing you should know is that I’m eight.
Yep! Eight and I love to read and write—especially about great adventures. My favorites are treasure hunts.
My favorite colors are purple and yellow and I wear them every day. Right now I’m wearing my purple jumpsuit, yellow socks and purple boots with yellow on them. I love my boots.
My favorite food is wild puffy muffins–the yellow ones with the pink tops as big as my hand.
The puffier, the pinker, the bigger, the better is what I always say.
My mom makes them for me every weekend and they’re the best.
Mm-mmm!
There’s nothing better than a wild puffy muffin for breakfast.
I live on the planet Gala. It’s a really cool place to live.
I think you’d like it here too.
It’s always warm and it doesn’t rain much, which is good since I don’t like rain. I don’t like being wet unless I’m going swimming. Then I don’t mind. But we don’t go swimming that much.
Gala has two moons; one is big and blue and one is small and white.
And both moons orbit together, so when you see one you see the other.
I love looking up at the sky and seeing the moons.
I call them wishing moons and every night I look out my window and make a wish before I go to bed.
I would tell you what my last wish was for, but then it might not come true so I’ll have to keep that a secret for now. But it was a really good wish.
To me Gala is the best planet ever. There’s so much amazing stuff here, like…the land floats.

I loved these books when my kids were little. I would read a page and let them read a page. This is a great beginner reading book.
