Lulu and the Loose Chickens

One day Lulu and her daddy went for a walk outside. While Lulu was walking down the street she saw her friend Jimmy and his mommy. Lulu waved to Jimmy, and he waved back at her. She walked over to him and asked him where he was going. He said that he was going to the big field next to the park.  He told her that there was a farmer's market going on today. Then Lulu and her daddy joined Jimmy and his mommy, and they all went to the big field together. When they arrived, they saw that there were a lot of tables set up with different fruit and vegetables being sold.  Some the things being sold were things that could not be found in a grocery store. There was a table with square shaped apples, and they were all held in a big net. Lulu's daddy and Jimmy's mommy took a look around at some more tables of fruit and vegetables. Lulu and Jimmy saw a table that was selling fresh eggs.  The sign on that table said that the seller had chickens at home which laid eggs. And today he broug

The Water Balloons

One day Lulu was at home reading a book. Then the phone rang and it was Jimmy. He was calling Lulu and asked her to meet him at the park, because he wanted to show her something new that he got. Lulu got ready and went outside. When she arrived at the park, she sat on a bench and waited for Jimmy.  After a while Jimmy arrived. And he had a backpack with something inside it. Jimmy opened the backpack and took out a balloon and showed it to Lulu. She tried to pick it up but it was heavy. There was something inside it. Lulu asked what was in it, and Jimmy said that he filled the balloon with water.  Lulu laughed and thought that was funny. Then they decided to play a game with the water balloon. They stood facing each other and were able to hand each other the water balloon. Then they each took a step back and threw the water balloon to each other. They were able to catch it.  Then they took five steps back from each other and threw the water balloon to each other. This time it was harder

One day Zebra woke up and was getting ready for the day. Zebra went and got some socks and sat on her bed to put on the socks. But when Zebra sat down on the bed, the bed broke, and it fell to the floor. Zebra was surprised. How did that happen? Zebra looked under the bed and saw that the wood frame was in little pieces. Now Zebra needed a new bed. She finished getting ready and went outside. She was going to the furniture store. When she arrived at the furniture store, she went inside and walked around, looking at the different beds. She saw a bed that had drawings of bicycles on it. She saw another bed that had drawings of books on it. And she saw a different bed that had drawings of birds on it. While Zebra was in the furniture store, she saw her friend Tiger. He was looking for a new table, because his table was broken. He saw a table that had drawings of trees on it. Zebra decided she wanted the bed that had drawings of books on it. Then Zebra bought the bed. And Tiger was right b

Lulu and the Rooftop

One day Lulu was listening to the radio, and she heard an announcement. There was going to be a grand opening of the tallest building in the city. And people who wanted to go see the rooftop there on the first day could call the radio station and request an invitation. Lulu called the radio station and said that she would like two tickets.  One was for her, and one was for her mommy. The radio station said that she could go pick up their tickets after the phone call. Then Lulu and her mommy got ready to go to the tallest building. When they arrived at the radio station, there was a long line of people waiting to pick up their tickets.  When Lulu and her mommy stood in line, after a minute she saw her friend Jimmy and his daddy walking up. Jimmy had also heard the radio announcement and came to pick up the tickets. When it was their turn, they all received their tickets. Then they went to the middle of the city, where the tallest building had been built.  They walked to the front door a

Lulu and the Drummer

One day Lulu was going to visit her friend Sally. Lulu went outside and walked to the subway train station. While she was waiting for the train, she saw a street performer on the platform. This street performer was siting on a chair. And there were some upside down buckets on the ground in front of him.  And he had two sticks in his hands that he was using to drum on the bottom of the upside down buckets. Then while Lulu was still waiting for the train, she saw a woman carrying some bags of groceries, walking down the steps to the platform. But while the woman was walking down the steps, she tripped and fell.  When the woman fell all her bags broke and her groceries spilled onto the ground. Lulu walked over and helped pick up the things. But the woman's bags were broken, and couldn't hold the groceries anymore. Then Lulu thought of something. She walked over to the drummer and asked if he would help the woman with his buckets.  He said yes, and picked up his buckets and turned

Lulu and Sally Find a Solution

One day Lulu was reading a book at home. While she was reading there was a phone call. Lulu's mommy answered the phone, and it was Sally's mommy who was calling. Sally wanted to know if she could come over to Lulu's home. Sally had something new to show Lulu.  And Lulu said that was fine, and she got ready for Sally to come over, and put her book away. When Sally arrived, she brought her backpack with her. Lulu asked what was in the backpack. And Sally opened the backpack and showed Lulu six new bean bags.  The bean bags were little square pockets of cloth, with beans inside. In Sally's backpack, she also had a wooden rectangle with a hole in it. And Sally said that they could go to the park and play a game of bean bag toss. Where they stand back and throw the bean bags at the hole in the wooden board.  Lulu thought that was a great idea, and she got ready to go outside. They put their shoes on and walked to the park. When they got to the park, they found a tree to lean

Lulu and the Water Fountain

One day Lulu was going to visit her friend Jimmy. She took the train to his home. When she got there he invited her to have some lunch together. They made sandwiches together. One sandwich was with turkey and cheese, and the other sandwich was with peanut butter and honey. Jimmy suggested that they cut the sandwiches to share with each other, and Lulu liked that idea.  They cut the first sandwich from corner to corner, and it was cut into two triangles. They cut the second sandwich right down the middle, and it was cut into two rectangles. Lulu and Jimmy ate the sandwiches and were ready to go outside. Jimmy told Lulu about a new fountain that he heard was built nearby.  They put on their shoes and walked down the street to the end of the block. There they saw a large water fountain. It was round like a big bowl. And the big fountain bowl was as tall as their legs. The middle of the fountain had a shape like a bottle, and it was very big. And the middle of the fountain sprayed water up

Then Zebra took a taxi and went to the airport. When Zebra arrived at the airport, Zebra was very early and was able to wander around.

While Zebra was on the airplane, Zebra opened her bag and ate a snack. She had made a peanut butter and honey sandwich. And after Zebra had finished eating the sandwich, she looked in her bag and re

One day Lulu was riding her bicycle around the neighborhood. She came to a street and saw that it was closed. There were some small fences that were blocking the street. There was also a sign that said there was a bicycle race that day. Lulu waited for a while and then saw some people walk up to the fence.  They brought balloons and flags. Lullu watched as more people came up and stood around the fence blocking the street. Then she heard some noise, and the people started cheering. Lulu looked down the street and saw that there were some bicycle riders coming towards them. The bicycle riders were going very fast.  And the people standing along the fence and watching, were waving the balloons and flags. Everybody was cheering on bicycle riders. Then the bicycle riders rode past that spot and Lulu wanted to see where they would go next. She walked up to one of the posters about the bicycle race.  She saw a map that showed where the bicycle race continued going. Lulu got on her bicycle an

Lulu Tries a New Recipe

One day Lulu was getting ready to go to the park. She went outside and walked to the park. When she got there, she saw her friend Jimmy. He was playing on the playground. And Lulu went to join him. Jimmy wanted to show Lulu a new book that he got. Jimmy walked over to a bench where he put his backpack.  He took out the book and showed it to Lulu. It was a book about different animals that are awake at night. Lulu wanted to read the book later, and Jimmy said he would lend it to her. But first she wanted to play on the playground. Jimmy and Lulu ran to the swings and played on the swings for a while.  Then they went to the slide and tried to slide down in different ways. First Jimmy went down the slide by sitting normally, and Lulu did the same. Then Jimmy went flat on his stomach at the top of the slide, and slid down on his front, with his arms in front of him. Lulu laughed and she tried to go down the slide on her stomach also.  Then Jimmy stood at the top of the slide and he turned
