Laura picked up a stick

Julia picked up one of my Laura Ingalls Wilder books (Little House in the Big Woods) and she's pretending to read it out loud:

"Laura picked up a stick and she went up to the castle. She said something important. Laura played with her sister, laughing all the way. She played catch. She did something important. They had a party and ten minutes because Laura's birthday and no, her big sister, and Laura's birthday. Laura did something important that she could do. She picked up another stick and went to Laura's birthday party. (Julia turned the page) Laura went to somebody's birthday cake and she eat it all gone because she went to school and Mom and Dad picked up her sister and Mom and Dad and Laura. (Julia asked me what Laura's daddy's name was.) Charles ate the birthday cake all gone because he didn't have any rules in school. He had something important but that was a good deal. (Julia turned the page) She found a great dolly in jail. She wanted a dolly just like her sister. It looked just like her but she didn't have anything. But she had the dolly and it looked just like her. But she had hair and a beautiful dress. She went, the little sister went to daddy, he was making something with a feather and doing something else. (Julia turned the page) A bear made footprints in the snow. The bear walked and made footprints all over the snow. He wanted to eat the snow but he can't eat the snow. The bear has something important to eat, but he can eat fish, right? He can do anything like he can do, so he did something important but he didn't want to go to jail. Uh uh."

There, now you don't have to buy the book.
