sequel

Ella recently published a second book in her language arts class. This time she opted for an autobiography. Here's the text (with a little commentary):

All About Ella

Written and illustrated by Ella Moore

This book is dedicated to my famly and pets of the footur

My Personality

I am active because I sleep in and have lots of energy. I like gymnastics because it is fun. My favorite sport is soccer. (Ella has never slept past 7 a.m. a day in her life. She has also never once tried gymnastics. In defense of her choice, she said, "I can almost do a headstand!")

My Favorite Food

My favorite foods are watermelon, pasta, and soup. I could go on for hours and hours because I love food. (Her stick figure self-portrait is standing at a watermelon, pasta and soup buffet next to a thought bubble that reads, "I see food!")

My Dad

I love my dad. He is so excellent and loving! I love him a lot because he is the best. He gives me horsey back rides all around the basement. (Ella skipped this page when reading it to her class because it was, without question, "too embarrassing.")

My Sister

I like my sister Lauren. She is four and will turn five on August 27th. Sometimes she is mean, but I still love her. She is my best friend. (Audrey, it turns out, "isn't very interesting to write about.")

My Mom

My mom is fun and also funny. She makes the best lasagna! I love her because she is nice to me.

My Grandma and Grandpa

My grandma loves cooking with me. My grandpa loves fishing with me, but I never catch one. I love them!

My Birthday

I love my birthday because it is in the last full week of school. My birthday is June 12th and it is on a Saturday this year.

Why I Love Being Me

I love being me because I have a home and kind teachers and parents. I have great friends who are so nice to me. I love being me!

A literary masterpiece! I hope I can get my copy autographed.
