"I'll find it!" cried Horton. "I'll find it or bust! I SHALL find my friends on my small speck of dust!"
We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!
"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day."
~A.A. Milne from Winnie the Pooh
"You won't let me do anything I want to do," I said. "I guess I'll run away."
That's how mad I was.
So I packed a wagon of my favorite toys. And I packed a bag of cookies to eat on the way. Then I walked out the front door. But my friends were going to the park to play ball. "Can you come, too?" they asked.
And Mom said I could.
I'll run away tomorrow if I'm still so mad.
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be.
~Robert Munsch from Love You Forever
I crept downstairs so quietly that no one even stirred... and peeked outside the window to see what i might have heard. And then i saw it standing there, just waiting by my door- a fifteen foot giraffe, where no giraffe had been before.
~Mary Jane Flynn from I Though I Heard a Tiger Roar
I guess it's time for bed now. The stars are twinkling bright. We had lots of fun today. Goodnight, sweet dreams, sleep tight.
~Donna Cooner from Bedtime for Baby Bop
"You must be a friend," said Corduroy. "I've always wanted a friend."
"Me too!" said Lisa, and gave him a big hug.
~Don Treeman from Corduroy
Oh! They would put me in the zoo, if they could see what I can do.
~Robert Lopshire from Put Me in the Zoo
Good morning, sunshine! The earth says "Hello!". Go look out your window at the bright morning snow. It glistens and sparkles, what a beautiful sight! A sheet covering the earth, miles of white.
~Arethusa Esin from Good Morning, Sunshine
