Waterslide Book Cover

Yesterday after school, Alex decided to write a book. Just because. I think it might be influenced, in part, by Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk. I recommend this book to any parent of kindergarten to second grade or so. It really is a sweet story, and also encourages kids to realize they can write stories, too. I love that he wanted to do this! Click through to read all of the pages of the short book, which is “By and illusterated by Alex.”
