Unfolding the Big Page

Pop! I hopped straight out of my knitted scarf nest, wide awake! Today is story day! I waddled right over to the thick hardcover book resting against the shelf. It was closed tight, so I planted both red feet on the wooden floor and pushed with all my round might—oomph! Flump! The heavy cover fell open, fluttering huge pages that smelled like dry vanilla and dust. Right there was an enormous illustration of a bright yellow star sitting in a blue sky! I plopped straight down on the page and patted the shiny paper with both arms. Poyo! The story corner is open and waiting!
