Dear Reader,

I have illustrated most of the Henry and Mudge books. They are a lot of fun to draw.

THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

The Hare and the Tortoise once ran a race.

Hare ran so fast that he was soon out of sight. Tortoise crept along, inch by inch. Hare looked back. Tortoise was a dot in the distance. “Why am J running?” Hare said: “I can walk and beat Tortoise. I even have time for a nap.” He lay down under a tree and went to sleep.

Tortoise kept going. He passed the spot where Hare slept.

Hare heard the animals cheering. He opened his eyes. He saw Tortoise coming to the finish line. Hare ran as fast as he could to catch up. It was not enough. Tortoise crossed the finish line first. “You beat me,” said Hare. “How did you do it?” “I know something important,” said Tortoise. “Some can run faster than others. But if you keep going and never quit, you will always be-sawinner

told them. “Cheetah cannot tell us apart. Hide

The race began. Cheetah was far ahead. Suddenly he saw another spider in front of him. Cheetah thought the spider was Anansi. He ran faster. But there was always another spider ahead. Cheetah had to stop and rest. Anansi continued on and crossed the finish line first. “How did you beat me?” Cheetah asked. “The spiders beat you,” Anansi said. “We always win when we work together.”

Meet the Dlustrator

atherine Stock Dear Readers,

When I was young, my mother always gave me paper and paints for my birthday. I have always loved drawing! I have lived all over the world. I have been illustrating books for many years. Other than drawing, I also like to read, cook, hike, and swim.

Your friend, Catherine Stock

Stop! Get off that bike! Children in Florida who ride a bike without wearing a helmet

might hear those words from the police. They might have

to pay a fine for breaking the law! In Florida the law

applies to all children under 16.

a lane eae

Why is Florida getting so tough on riders who don’t wear helmets? Think of the last time you fell off your bike. Did you cut

your knee? Did you hit your head? Lots of children fall off bicycles “every year, and many hurt their heads badly. Unlike a cut, hitting

your head can cause problems

that last for your whole life.

Helmets help. The National Safe Kids Campaign says that bike helmets lower the chances of a head injury by 85 percent. Simon Crider, 11, knows how important a

helmet can be. When he was riding his bike in Gainesville, Florida, he hit a rock and flew over

the front of his bike. His head hit the road, and

his helmet cracked. Luckily, it was his helmet that broke, not his head.

Long ago, children played many sports. Boys mostly played stickball, basketball,

football, and field hockey. Girls mostly played tennis, golf, and croquet. Children usually played together in their

own neighborhoods. They did not have special times of the year for each sport.

Stickball was played with a broomstick and a small ball.

Girls and boys

play baseball during spring and summer.

Today, children still play sports that

were played long ago. But now, both boys

and girls play many of the same sports, like basketball or tennis. Many children play sports in community programs or for their school teams. Children play different sports at different

times of the year.

Long ago, people played different kinds of games. Board games, like checkers, were a popular family activity. Marbles

was a game that children liked to play with their friends. To play this game, children bounced their marbles against other marbles in a circle. They won any marbles they could knock out of the circle.

DZ

Ringer and

Rolley-hole

were popular marble games.

Today, people still play many of the same games that were played long ago, such as

checkers and marbles. But now, video games are alSo popular. Many children like to play video

games on their televisions or on their computers. Some even have handheld video games that are SO small they can be played anywhere!

Children can play sports, adventure, or puzzle video games.

Long ago, reading was something that families

did together. Usually, one person in the family read aloud while the other family members listened. Most families owned just a few books because books were very expensive. Many towns did not

have libraries. This meant families would read

the same stories again and again.

A Reading was

a favorite family pastime.

Today, families still read together. Many children read with their parents before they go to bed at night. Many people enjoy listening to books that are recorded on tape or compact disc (CD).

Today, because books cost less, families own more books than they did long ago. Also, people can get books from many places. Bookstores and libraries are popular places for people to find new books.

Sometimes,

family members take turns reading aloud.

Family Vacations Some families

Long ago, few families took vacations. If they

were few roads, so people could not easily travel to the places they wanted to go.

A Many families take vacations all over the world.

Today, more families go on vacation

because traveling is easier. There are many more roads across the country. People can drive their cars to places that

are far from home. Some families travel by train or by airplane. By taking cars, trains, and airplanes, families have many

choices of vacation locations.

Special Events Long ago, there were many special events children looked forward to. One was the circus coming to town! Children would line the streets with their parents to see the animals and clowns walk through the town. Some towns even had carnivals. Carnivals were a place for people to

ride the Ferris wheel, eat food, and play games. 378

You have seen how Americans played long ago. People played games with friends, spent long afternoons in the park, and took vacations to places near their homes. Today, people do these things and more. Today, people can play video games on a computer or play

in a water park. They can enjoy swings and slides in parks and travel to places that are far from home.
