Doodlebug & Dandelion In Search of the Tooth

“OK, COME IN,” Doodlebug Pinkley said begrudgingly. Doodlebug’s best friend, Bog, stood beside him looking as glum as Doodlebug did. “¡Gracias!” said Hazel, Bog’s little cousin, proudly using the Spanish word for thank you. She tromped into the Lodge, followed by Doodlebug’s sister, Dandelion, and another kid. The Lodge, once an old toolshed, sat in Bog’s backyard, which was right next to the Pinkleys’ backyard. The Lodge Brothers usually never let anyone in. But today they were forced to have guests. Hazel was visiting with some family friends from a far-off place called Bolivia. Bog had agreed to keep an eye on Hazel and the friends’ son, Carlito. It was a gloomy rain-drenched day, and the Lodge was the only good escape from a house full of grownups. Doodlebug and…

Dear Tooth Fairy

Dear Tooth Fairy, You probably know that I’m about to lose my first tooth. It’s a good tooth with no cavities. I’m sure it is worth a lot. I read in a book that goblins don’t have any teeth of their own, so you could probably sell my tooth to a goblin for $10,000,000. Lucky for you, I’m asking for much less. Surely such a fine tooth is worth a football. Do we have a deal? Love, Dylan P.S. I heard the tooth fairy in France brings a small gift, so I think this is a fair trade. Dear Dylan, Your tooth looks great, and I’m eager to purchase it. You may be right about goblins, but I don’t know any goblins, so I don’t think I could sell your…

Setting the Stage for the Tooth Fairy

WHEN A THEATER puts on a show, someone has to make the bare stage look like a castle, or a forest, or a school. That person is the set designer. But before she gets out her hammer, she makes a miniature model called a maquette. Lizzie Bracken designed the set for a play called You Think It’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy? at Lifeline Theater in Chicago. OPHELIA: Why do you make models? LIZZIE: I think almost every set designer in the world starts with a model. It’s a fast way to see what the set will look like. You can rip a model apart and put it back together and play with it and make sure everything works before you build it for real. I start with a lot…

A Poetry Contest at Spellzany Castle

MARY STEPPED OUT of her carriage in front of Spellzany Castle, admiring as usual its towers topped in huge, colorful marble crowns, wizards’ hats, and jesters’ caps. Her aunt, Queen Ursula, robed in ink-bottle patterned blue silk, ran out and hugged her. “Auntie, thanks for inviting me!” “Thank you for traveling across the kingdom to be here! You love poetry, so I knew you’d want to see me present my Royal Rhyming Poem Contest prize.” “You aren’t nervous about . . .?” “Not a bit,” said the queen brightly as they strolled through the castle’s carved doors. “I’m sure the party will go smoothly.” Mary didn’t feel so certain. Spellzany Castle’s name sprang from its history of attracting zany magic spells. If a frost fairy’s too-strong charm covered a throne…

Nice New Neighbors

Meet my new neighbors,Four handsome young mice,Always well dressed,Very neat and precise. They dine every nightOn curried white riceFlavored with peppers,Raw onions, and spice. They love playing cardsAnd board games with dice.They follow the rulesAnd shun every vice. So mad for movies,They’ll often watch twice.They trill opera airsWhile skating on ice. Quite clever with toolsAnd full of advice,They’ll mend any toyOr damaged device. Polite, hardworking,Exceedingly nice.I’m glad they moved in,Those four little mice!…
