Sadie's review of "Shoes," by Singer and Storyteller Susan Reed

Susan Reed, singer, storyteller, and Suzuki violin clinician, was Sadie's teacher at the workshop we attended in March. We bought one of Miss Susan's CDs and brought it home for Sadie to enjoy. She LOVES it. She listens to it in her CD player at night, and then totes it downstairs to listen to down here too! Here is her review:

For Miss Susan:

I like your songs. My favorite one is the first one, "Hello, how'd you do? Nice to be here with you!" I really like it. I also like the violin parts. I listen to it every night and sometimes every day. And thanks for teaching me. I bet someday I will be like you.

Love,
Sadie

Sadie and the Cow

Once we were going strawberry picking. And I went to see a cow, which now we're talking about right now. It had a very dirty udder. It was very very dirty. But I did not care. The reason why I'm telling this is that I love cows! Cows make milk by eating grass. But grass is green and milk is white. I wonder how that happens. Maybe you should go to the strawberry farm and see that cow. Maybe it will be up and running around, or maybe it will be resting like we saw. But who cares? Well, I'm thinking on getting a cow. Because we just ran out of milk. And what we're talking about today is cows. But you know what I'm talking about, right? A dog named Leroy might get scared of that cow. Who cares about Leroy? Benny does. Do you think that a cow has just one stomach? It does not have one stomach! It has four stomachs. Every time it chews it goes down to the first stomach, and then comes back up again and then goes to the fourth. The cow has to eat some grass, and eat and eat and eat. And eat and eat. Like millions of grass. But not in one day -- in a hundred days, if it lives a hundred days. The end.

My Bike Race

Yesterday I had a bike race. I went so fast and I had some big kids right behind me. And I won the race. I got tired, but kept on going, and going. I got one loop around the building, and it was a long way. It was almost a mile. It makes me feel great, like I want to do karate.

Monsters Vs. Aliens Review

This weekend, I saw a movie called "Monsters Vs. Aliens." Now, you can see on my blog the picture which I like. And these would be the monsters which I saw in this movie. There's a giant cockroach in this movie, and he's nice, and they have to fight an alien! A giant, which used to be the size of a regular girl, has turned into a giant. She destroyed the alien and his robots. And there's a big giant bug which is nice, and there's a big blue glob which is so, so funny! And on the picture, you can see his face and what he looks like. There's a fish that looks like a man. He does not have fins -- he has hands. And that is really like a kind of monster.

It was a good movie. I liked the blue glob and the girl. The giant was named Susan, and she turned fifty feet tall. The monsters win! That's all I want to say.

Rainbow the Unicorn by Sadie

(This is Sadie's entry for the Reading Rainbow contest. I just want to say that the original draft of this story was way more violent than this draft. I encouraged her to edit it for children.)

Once upon a time, there was a unicorn. That unicorn was named Rainbow. Rainbow lived in the forest, the rain forest!

One day, there was a hunter.

The unicorn felt mad! The unicorn knew just what to do. The unicorn charged, with the horn pointing straight to the guy’s chest. The hunter felt mad!

But the unicorn turned, going straight into a tree. The hunter laughed. Then, the hunter got too much of the unicorn’s funniness from the unicorn, so he went away.

The hunter ran and ran, and Rainbow felt funny.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Once upon a time, there was a Chihuahua.

And there was another one, named Papi. The first one was named Chloe.

She was from Beverly Hills until she got lost in Mexico.

Papi came to save her, and also her owner, that was just taking care of Chloe.

She left clues out for them to find a booty, and Papi found a booty. Rachel got surprised that he found a booty!

Chloe fell in a mud puddle and lost a booty!

Chloe was on a train.

They have found some dogs that was going to help. And they were hired, and they got homes.

And Chloe fell in a pit. And Papi was in a cage when she was in the pit. And Papi was in the cage. And Chloe have rescued Papi.

Chloe first did not have her bark, and then when she was in the pit, she got her bark. And she barked some times, and she defeated the bad guys.

The End.
