Doodlebug & Dandelion The Radish Patch

“HEY!” SAID DOODLEBUG Pinkley as his good friend Bog walked into the Pinkley den. “We’re making a new photo album.” Doodlebug and his sister Dandelion were sitting cross-legged on the den floor surrounded by photos and stacks of filled albums. “Our hundredth album,” Dandelion added. “For the new year!” Bog picked up one of the biggest, fattest albums. It fell open to a most curious picture. “Whoa. Check it out!” He grinned. “You little rug rats are bawling your eyes out!” When Bog held up the page, Doodlebug and Dandelion shrieked. “The horrible hare!” Dandelion cried. “Ugh! The nightmare hairy carrot-cruncher!” Doodlebug scrunched his eyes shut and shook his head wildly. There on the page was a photo of a much younger Doodlebug and Dandelion. Between them sat a giant…

The Clever Rabbit A Korean Folk Tale

A GREEDY TIGER roamed the forests looking for food. One day, he came upon a rabbit. “You’re my breakfast,” the tiger said. Although the rabbit was terrified, he said, “But honorable tiger, rabbits always taste better after a serving of rice cakes.” “Where would I get rice cakes?” asked the tiger. “I have some,” said the rabbit. “I’ll cook them for you.” The tiger watched as the rabbit rubbed a few stones together and lit a small fire. His prey usually ran for their lives. They had never offered appetizers before. The rabbit dropped some flat white pebbles into the fire—pebbles that looked a lot like rice cakes. He said, “These cakes should always be eaten with soy sauce.” “Get me some soy sauce then,” said the tiger, rubbing his…

Wigmaster’s World

A NEW HAIRDO CAN make someone look like a completely different person. It’s Sarah Hatten’s job to use hair to make people look older, younger, meaner, sweeter, wiser, sillier, neater, or messier. She can even use her skills to get thousands of audience members to feel like they’ve traveled through time or to an imaginary world. Sarah is the wigmaster at Lyric Opera of Chicago. That means she’s on top of what goes on top of heads. A wigmaster works with a costume designer to decide what hairstyle and facial hair is best for each character in an opera, play, movie, or TV show. A wigmaster makes wigs, fits them on performers, styles the wigs, and keeps them looking nice throughout the show. Making one wig takes Sarah and her…

Tía Raquel’s Hair

BIANCA LOVED SATURDAYS, the day Tía Raquel came to visit . . . all the way from the city. They’d go shopping, or play dominó, or concoct their special spicy empanadas. But the best part of Saturday was when Bianca took out her sparkly purple hairbrush. She’d pull the brush through her aunt’s long, long, so long black hair—glorious hair that tickled her waist. Bianca especially loved the scent of Tía Raquel’s apple-blossom shampoo. Mmm. Today, as they stood back to back to take a photo, Bianca sighed. “I wish my hair was as long as yours.” “Oh, chiquita!” Tía Raquel winked. “Long hair isn’t everything.” After her aunt drove away, Bianca studied their photo. It’d take a gazillion years to grow her hair as long as Tía Raquel’s! When…

Tía Raquel’s Hair

Be a Hair Hero!

Sometimes, kids lose their hair. Whether it’s due to cancer, burns, or a condition called alopecia areata, hair loss is tough. That’s why charities make wigs for kids. Instead of selling the wigs, many charities give them to kids for free. Did you know that it usually takes five to ten hair donations from different people to make one wig? That’s a lot of hair. (Not everybody has hair as long as Tía Raquel’s!) If you want to donate your hair, here are four things to remember: 1. Hair needs to be at least ten inches long. 2. Hair must be clean and completely dry. 3. Hair must be in a ponytail or braid. 4. Some places accept hair that’s been colored or permed. None accept bleached hair. Each charity…

Super Static Electricity Butterf ly

What You’ll Need: markerscardstockscissorstissue paperconstruction paperschool glueballoon What to Do: 1. Use markers to decorate the cardstock with a background for your butterfly. You can draw something realistic, like a flower, or something imaginary, like the tip of a unicorn’s horn. 2. Cut butterfly wings out of the tissue paper. 3. Cut a butterfly body and antennae out of the construction paper. If you want, use markers to decorate the body. 4. Put a long, thin line of glue on the cardstock where you want the butterfly to go. Place the center of the wings along the line of glue. Do not glue any other part of the wings to the cardstock. 5. Glue the body onto the center of the wings. Then glue the antennae at the top of…

Super Static Electricity Butterf ly

Everything in the universe is made of tiny particles that are too small to see. Some of these particles are called protons. Protons have a positive charge. Others are called electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Things that have the same charge repel (move away from) each other. Positive and negative charges attract (move toward) each other. When you rub the balloon on your hair or carpet, it picks up extra electrons. The negatively charged balloon attracts the positively charged protons in the tissue paper, pulling the butterfly’s wings toward the balloon. During thunderstorms, clouds can become charged with static electricity. Lightning happens when the charge jumps inside or between clouds or down to something on the ground. When you touch a doorknob and get a shock, you’re feeling a…

Time Travel in the Fourth Grade

I’M IN THE fourth grade, and I have four rules that I live my life by. Number one: all vegetables taste better with ketchup. Two: if your mom asks you what you did in school that day, say anything other than “not much.” Three: stay away from girls. (They’re trouble. Especially Kathy Hanson.) And four: never, ever have anything to do with time travel. . . . At the time, it was only a theory I’d been working on, but the possibilities were endless. With time travel, I could cause my granddad not to spill that milkshake on Nana at the malt shop, or Dad not to spill that latte on Mom in the coffee shop. That would prevent them from meeting and cause me not to be born. Or…

W hat You' ll Need: What to Do: 1. Wash your hands. Then wash all vegetables. Have a grownup peel the cucumber, if preferred. Ask that grownup to cut the cucumber and celery down the middle longways and then to cut the thin celery pieces in half. 2. Open the tub. Place it on the plate near the edge. Cover the rest of the plate with all the carrots, except the two shortest carrots. 3. Lay the cucumber halves, with their insides facing up, on top of the carrots. The cucumber ends should touch the tub rim to look like bunny ears. 4. Set the tomato in the middle of the tub for a nose. Put the blueberries above the tomato for eyes. Line up the two shortest carrots below…

The Hare with the Hairdo

Somebunny stands out. Can you catch that wild hare and keep her from hopping out of your hand? What You’ll Need: scissors What to Do: 1. Cut out the cards. Shuffle them facedown. 2. Deal the cards to each player until there are none left. (Some players might get more cards than others.) 3. Secretly look at your cards. Remove any pairs.

No peeking! If the card matches one in your hand, put the pair in the middle pile. If not, keep the card. 5. All players keep taking turns. (You’re…
