A Stamp on the Page

I scrambled out of my cozy pillow fort and marched straight over to the low wooden bookshelf! Down on the bottom shelf, a small red ink pad sat next to a thick hardcover book that was propped slightly open. I reached out and gently nudged the little plastic lid until it flipped wide open! Inside, the spongy red cushion was dark and damp. Finding a smooth wooden alphabet block lying on the carpet, I gripped it with both hands and pressed its carved base firmly into the red sponge. Tap, tap! Then I stamped it right onto the clean blank corner of a paper bookmark sticking out of the book. A tidy red letter stamped clearly onto the white paper, making me rock back on my heels with an enormous, bright grin!
