Look at me!
I can read!
And when I read I can be
an archaeologist exploring centuries past
a burglar stealing precious jewels
a cook concocting delicious meals
a detective solving a puzzling crime
an elephant tricking my friends
a footballer scoring the winning goal
a ghost floating down the stairs
a hobbit with a magic ring
an inventor making slimy goop
a juror sitting in the courtroom
a kookaburra laughing at the world
a lighthouse keeper looking for lunch
a magician making magic
a nomad wandering through the desert
an octopus guarding treasures of the deep
a pirate sailing the ocean blue
a queen sitting on her throne
a rabbit running very late
a sailor battling stormy seas
a traveller visiting far-off places
an umbrella carrying Mary Poppins
a vampire sucking someone’s blood
a wizard weaving wonder
an xtra in an adventure movie
a yacht racing the wind and waves
a zoologist discovering a new species
I am so lucky!
I can read!
