Work and Play Excerpt:
Blanka Bunny, the stuffed plush toy bunny, woke up with a start. She had been sleeping in Anora’s bed, just like she had almost every night since she joined Anora’s family. She had been having a lovely dream about playing with Anora, when suddenly she was awakened by Anora’s voice shouting, “Yes, Daddy, okay! I’m doing it!”
Blanka found herself being lifted off the bed and hurriedly carried around the room.
“Sorry, Blanka! I have to clean up right now, really quick! Daddy and I are going the lake today but he said I have to clean my room first!” said Anora.
Just then, Dad came into the room.
“Anora, how’s the clean-up coming along?”
“I’m almost done, Daddy,” she replied.
“Are you sure? he said, smiling. “It still looks pretty messy to me.”
“Daddy, why do I have to clean my room before we go to the lake? What does cleaning my room have to do with the lake?”
