Everyone knows how much I love Vivian’s #50PreciousWords contest. It’s fabulous!!
Here is a little background information for you all. March 2nd is the birthday of Theodor Geisel, better known to young readers as Dr Seuss, who was challenged by his publisher to write a story using only 50 words. Not so easy! Once again Vivian(www.viviankirkfield.com) is hosting her own 50 precious words challenge!
The goal is to write a story appropriate for kids ages 12 or under, using only 50 words…they can all be different words, or you can use some of them over and over…just as long as the total unique word count for the story is 50 or less. For more information pop over to Vivian’s website https://viviankirkfield.com/2019/03/02/the-50preciouswords-writing-contest-is-open/
My entry this year is for mama’s and their little ones. READING is SHARING is LOVE!

BOOK BABIES
by Julie Abery (41 words)
Book babies
balancing
on mama’s knee.
Book babies
touching
the colours they see.
Book babies
singing
a nursery rhyme.
Book babies
turning
one page at a time.
Book babies
finding
a corner to chew.
Book babies
lifting
a flap – peek-a-boo!
Book babies
laughing –
the world is so new.
Book babies
sharing
sweet moments with you.
