The Book Slide

Pika! A thick picture book was propped against the wicker basket, making a steep little ramp. Patter, patter—I took a running start across the rug and scrambled straight up the slick cover! My claws squeaked against the glossy paper. Whoosh! Just before I reached the top edge, my paws lost their grip. Down I slid on my belly, skidding right onto the soft wool carpet with a soft thump. I sat up, shook the fuzz from my ears, and flicked my tail. That was surprisingly fast! Next time, I am going to launch myself with a bigger hop.#Pokémon
