Sock Balls by Liana Mahoney
There are sock balls on my dresser, And more sock balls on the floor. Though I tried to hit the hamper, One just rolled right out the door.

7 Magician Of The Sea by Kelly Hashway
What do three hearts, eight arms, and one huge brain add up to? An
octopus, a creature that can do amazing things. Octopuses are extremely intelligent. They can learn new things just like humans. They’ve even
learned a few tricks to get them out of sticky situations.
If an octopus is threatened by a predator, such as a shark or bird, it can
use some pretty incredible skills to get away. Octopuses don’t have teeth
or sharp claws to defend themselves. Instead, they use more clever ways
to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on
the bottom of the ocean floor. How you ask? Well, the octopus is like a
chameleon because it can change the color of its skin to match the sand.
And this color change, or camouflage, happens in less than a minute.
Some octopuses like to stay in more shallow water where there are rocks
and coral. Because octopuses are invertebrates, meaning they don’t have
backbones, they can squeeze themselves into small spaces between the
8
Another way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. An octopus uses a
part of its body called a siphon to shoot ink into the water. The ink forms
a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears and the
predator can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden. It’s very
much like a magician doing a vanishing act. If you think that’s a neat
trick, then you’ll love what else these creatures have up their sleeves. If
an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a
venomous sea snake. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms
visible. It will change the color of those arms to match a sea snake.
But what if there’s no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can
break off one of its arms. The arm will then change colors and squirm
around in the water to distract the predator while the octopus swims
away to safety. Don’t worry though. The octopus’s arm will grow back.
There is one kind of octopus that has venom to use in defense. The
blue-ringed octopus is tiny; it could fit in the palm of your hand. Predators
9
stay away. The blue-ringed octopus is very poisonous and can kill
predators much larger than itself, including humans.
So the next time you see an octopus in the aquarium or while you’re
snorkeling, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large
brain, making them a clever addition to the sea.
1. How are an octopus and a chameleon alike?
a. They both like to hide on the ocean floor. b. They can both change the color of their skin. c. They are both invertebrates.

2. Explain how shooting ink helps an octopus to escape from predators.

3. What happens to an octopus if it loses one of its eight arms? a. It will grow a new one.
b. It will die.
c. It is no longer poisonous. d. It can swim faster.
4. What is the author's purpose for writing this article?
a. to explain how octopuses eat, live, and play b. to show how dangerous octopuses are

Three Bears by Erin Ryan
Did you know that there are eight different kinds of bears found around the world? Three very different ones are polar bears, grizzly bears and Giant Pandas.
Polar bears live in the Arctic Circle, near the North Pole. Polar bears stay warm in very cold temperatures because they have a layer of fat, called blubber, and because they are covered in two layers of fur. Polar bears are excellent swimmers and have short claws to help them walk across ice and snow. Polar bears mostly eat seals, but they will eat other arctic animals as well.
Grizzly bears can be found in Asia, Europe, and North America. Grizzly bears like to eat plants, mammals and fish. They can run over thirty miles per hour. Even though grizzly bears are very big and strong, their cubs only weigh one pound when they are born.
The Giant Panda lives in China and has black and white fur. This bear eats up to thirty pounds of bamboo every day. The Giant Panda is an endangered animal because many of the forests where they live have been destroyed. Many people work hard to protect Giant Pandas.
1. List two reasons from that article that explain why polar bears can live in such a cold climate.

Let Go of My Lego! by Nikki Aksamit
One Saturday afternoon, Mark and his friend Lance sat playing with Lego blocks on the carpet in Mark’s room. “I bet you don’t know what ‘Lego’ means!” Lance said, snatching a red block right from out of Mark’s hand. He stood and held the Lego block tight and put his hand behind his back. “Lance!” Mark cried out as he jumped up, grabbing at his friend’s hand. “If you can tell me what ‘Lego’ means, I will give it back.” Lance teased with a grin, twisting to keep the block away from his friend. Mark tried to wrestle the Lego away, but it was no use. “I don’t know.” he said, plopping down with a big sigh. Lance gave a knowing smile as he held out the block. “See the way the dots are raised here, and they fit with the holes in another block? Lego means 'fit
together' in a language called Latin.” Mark’s mother had been watching from the doorway. “It also means ‘play well’ in Danish.” she said as she came into the room. Frowning, she took the red Lego from Lance’s hand and gave it back to Mark. This time, it was Mark’s turn to smile.

Two Fantastic Fruits
Bananas are a yellow fruit that grows in hot climates. They grow on tall plants, in bunches called hands. They're easy to carry and fun to eat. Sometimes bananas are called the “perfect fruit” because they have many nutrients to keep you healthy. They have lots of potassium, which helps your muscles grow. For a delicious treat, add some banana slices to other foods, like cereal, ice cream, or a peanut butter sandwich. A banana is also an excellent breakfast food.
Pineapples are another yellow fruit that grows in hot climates. They grow on low plants, close to the ground. Pineapples are very juicy and sweet. They are not very easy to carry around because they are large and have prickly skin. Pineapples are very healthy food. They have lots of vitamin C, which helps your body fight germs and build strong bones. Slices of pineapple taste wonderful when added to other foods, like pizza, ice cream, and hamburgers. Some people even put pineapple slices on cakes.

The Time Capsule by Anita N. Amin
“I’m going to make a time capsule,” Anna told her parents at the
breakfast table. Dad looked up from his coffee mug and smiled. “Sounds interesting. Say hello to the pilgrims for me.” Laughing, Anna shook her head. “No, Dad. You’re thinking of time travel. I’m building a time
capsule –it’s like a memory box. I watched my principal dig one up
from our school yard yesterday. Some students buried the capsule thirty years ago. It had a lot of old stuff in it, so we could see what life was like back then.”
After breakfast, Anna went to her dad's workbench in the garage. She looked around and found an old coffee can filled with nuts and bolts. She dumped them out so she could use it as her time capsule. She scratched her head. What should she put in the can? With her kitten following close behind, Anna browsed through her things. She grabbed her favorite book, her yo-yo and some photos. She packed them in the can. She pulled off her charm bracelet and placed it in the can too.

“What else should I put in here?” she asked Kitty. “The newspaper? So people will know what happened today?” Anna ran downstairs and brought back the newspaper. She folded it up and in the can it went. “Meow.” Kitty nudged a ball toward the can. “Sure, Kitty, I’ll include your ball.” Anna put Kitty’s ball in the can. Anna put the top on and sealed the can with tape.
On the front, she wrote ANNA AND KITTY’S TIME CAPSULE with a thick black marker.
She carried the can outside. After grabbing a shovel from the shed, she buried her time capsule in the garden. “All done,” she told Kitty. After a few minutes, Anna sighed.
What should she do next? She couldn’t yo-yo. Or read her favorite book. She’d buried those. Now, she missed them. She scratched her head, then paused. She missed the sound of her bracelet clinking too. “Meow.” Kitty pawed the burial spot. “Do you miss your ball?” Anna asked. “Don’t worry. I’ll get it for you.” So Anna dug up their time capsule. Kitty pounced on the ball. And Anna pulled on her bracelet and read her book while yo-yoing under a tree in the garden.

Ben's Loose Tooth by Donna Latham
"I’m always last," Ben sighed. "Last to learn to whistle. Last to lose a tooth."
Ben's older sister, Kate, was always bossy. "Jiggle your teeth," she said. "Find one that’s wiggly and wobbly." Tooth by tooth, Ben jiggled. He wriggled the last tooth. "It’s wiggly. It’s wobbly!"
"Tug it," Kate said.
"Uh!” Ben mumbled. “It’s stuck in my gums."
"Hmmm.” Kate scrunched her nose. "Munch that apple." Ben took a bite. “Ouch! No luck.”
"Hmmm," said Kate. She tapped her pinky against her chin. "I’ll scare it out of you! That's
how you get rid of hiccups. Maybe it works for teeth too." Ben squeezed his eyes shut. He held his breath. He waited and waited. "Hey! When are you going to scare me?" He propped one eye open. "How scary would it be if I told you?" Kate asked.
"Well—,” Ben said. "Boo!" cried Kate. She flapped her arms. Ben's fingers flew to the tooth. He wriggled it. He jiggled it. “Blah! I’ll never lose a tooth." He hung his head. "I’ll never learn to whistle, either." "Whistle? I can teach you!” Kate said. “Pucker your lips. Leave a tiny space." Ben scrunched his lips together. “Perfect.” Kate smiled. “Now, shoot the air out. Hard.” With all his might, Ben blasted air. Out burst a high note—with his tooth!

“Let’s see what happens tomorrow,” Papa said. “Okay…” Rosie frowned. The next morning, they went back to the beach and Rosie gathered seashells. Rosie found something strange.

The Closet Creature by Kelly Hashway
Bump! Bump! Scratch! Adam opened his eyes and pulled the covers up
to his chin. He stared around his room, searching the darkness for the thing that was making those scary sounds. The closet door moved as something banged on it from the inside. “Who’s there?” Adam asked in a shaky voice. The closet slowly began to open. Adam jumped out of bed and ran to the closet door, slamming it shut with his palms. He grabbed his desk chair and propped it against the door handle. Then he ran out of his room and down the hall. His brother’s door was wide open, and Adam jumped onto David’s bed.
“Adam?” David asked in a groggy voice. “What are you doing in here?” Adam tugged on David’s arm. “There’s something in my closet!”
“You probably had a bad dream. Go back to bed.” Adam yanked the blankets off the bed. “It wasn’t a dream. I was awake, and the closet door started opening by itself!” David sighed. “Fine. But when we don’t find anything, you have to promise to leave me alone for the rest of the night.” Adam nodded. David reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. Then they headed to Adam’s room. Adam stopped in the doorway. He could hear something scratching his closet door. “Do you

hear that?” Adam asked. David nodded. He walked over to Adam’s bed and pulled the case off one of the pillows. He opened the pillowcase. “You open the door very slowly, and I’ll grab whatever it is.” Adam slid the chair to the side and pulled the closet door open a crack. Something banged against the door, trying to force it open. Adam took a deep breath and opened the door a few more inches. A small furry creature ran right into the pillowcase. “I got it!” David said, closing the
pillowcase and holding it in the air. “What is it?” Adam moved closer as David peeked inside. David put the pillowcase on the bed and an orange cat climbed out. Adam scooped the cat up. “Apricot? How did you get trapped in my closet?”
David laughed. “The poor cat. If I was locked in your closet with your stinky shoes, I’d be
banging on the door to get out, too!”
“Poor, Apricot,” Adam said. “You were probably more scared than I was.”
