In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, Vivian Kirkfield is hosting a contest to write a children’s story using only 50 words. You can read the details and peruse the amazing stories that have been posted here.
With the help of my son Tommy, we came up with these 50 precious words:
TOMMY’S TRACKS
Tommy asked Mama if he could go outside.
“Yes, but don’t go into the woods.”
He quickly forgot and ventured through the forest.
He glanced behind.
Frightened by the tracks following him,
he followed the footsteps until he saw something.
It was Mama.
His own footprints brought him safely home!
