Solid, Liquid, Gassy (A Fairy Science Story)



















“From Ella's Umbrella's, by Ashley Spires:
"Ella had big umbrellas and small umbrellas.
She had umbrellas in pink, turquoise and tangerine.
She had them in every color, even jellybean green.
Several were striped and a few speckled with spots.
A sprinkling had sparkles. A handful had hearts.
Some opened slowly and plenty went POP!
Ella had too many umbrellas."

Scary Science: 25 Creepy Experiments



From The Red Shoes, written by Eleri Glass, illustrated by Ashley Spires:
"My feet huff, puff
like two tired trains.
So many shoes
squatting on the shelves,
white and brown, lace-ups
and boots.
My eyes hunt,
my toes tingle.
They call me from the corner,
ruby whispers,
shiny silver giggles.
I slip my hands inside
and walk them across the shelf.
Sing a tiny shoe tune.
Mom picks up the lace-ups.
I pull on her hand.
'The Red ones, Mom.'"
