Jesse Beck Elementary School

There once was a bear who loved the forest.

He wanted to ride a magic carpet, and so he got on.

Bear saw bat. “Hi bat!”Sceech, sceech, sceech,”

said bat. But he was thinking why are you up there!”

Bear saw caribou. “Hi caribou!”

Snort, snort, snort,” said caribou.

But he was thinking. “I hope he doesn’t get hurt!”

Bear saw eagle. “Hi eagle!” Sqee, Sqee,” said eagle.

But he was thinking“get out of town!”

Next, all the animals go to the pyramids

and find magic carpe of their own. They fl around and make all

the land animals upset.

Few things capture a child’s imagination like a good book. KNPB PBS KIDS Writers Contest invites children, kindergarten through third grade, in communities across our area to use their boundless imaginations to create original stories and illustrations and then submit them to their local PBS station. This year, more than a thousand children from northern Nevada and northeastern California participated in the KNPB PBS KIDS Writers Contest, building their creative voices, and developing critical reading and writing skills.
