Author of the Month - Colt J.
As we go into this holiday season, we begin to think about those who are important to us and how thankful we are for our loved ones. November’s featured author is Colt who wrote “The Adventures of Bob.” This story takes us through two friends who are very important to each other. Let’s get into Colt’s story!
Bob may just be a stuffed eagle, but he is very important to his owner, Colt. Colt takes great care of Bob. Colt loves Bob so much that sometimes Bob feels worn out. But…he always feels loved more than worn out. Colt is very kind to Bob.
He loves to go outside and play. Bob has a few good friends, but he loves to hang out mostly with Colt. Bob loves Colt more than apple pie.
Bob loves to play. He is the most playful eagle on planet Earth.
His eagle feathers may be a bit worn out, but he is still very loved.
Bob loves to eat a lot of snacks. But now he’s trying to cut back.
Bob loves to go on adventures, his very first adventure was to Colt’s house. He first explored the outside and later found a place to rest for the night that was made of boogie boards and sticks.
The next adventure Bob goes on is to a different house. He ends up exploring many of the houses.
Bob’s always flapping his wings, but he could not fly like other birds.
Bob has many new adventures that await him!
