A Train Ride Excerpt:
The doors slid open with a whoosh. Emily and Billy stepped aboard the sparkling train. Their heads turned as they took note of every little detail. Emily had already pointed out the dark blue solar paint on the train twinkling like the stars in the night sky. Billy smiled at his little sister and asked. “Where should we sit?”
“How about right here!” She said, enthusiastically pointing to a seat about halfway through the train. Then she bowed and motioned for her brother to sit by the window.
“Thanks Emily, but you’re shorter than me. So, if you sit by the window, both of us will be able to see.” Billy said.
“OK!” Emily said and slid into her spot. Their parents smiled knowingly at each other and sat down in the seat behind them. Then the train slowly began to roll forward. “We’re moving!” Emily exclaimed.
“Look! We’re going up to the elevated tracks!” Billy said.
“I’m so excited! I better take some deep dragon breaths!” Emily said.
“Me too!” Billy said, and with that they both took a deep breath in and out. “How are you?” Billy asked his little sister. She squealed with excitement “I need another dragon breath!”
“OK, me too!” Billy said through a gigantic smile, and they both took a deep breath in and out.
There was a giggle from their parents as Emily asked her brother “Are you ready now?”
“Let’s take one more deep dragon breath.” He suggested, and they did.
“That’s better.” Emily said still smiling widely. “Oh! Look outside! The forest is beautiful!” It was. The needles on the fir trees fluttered as the train passed. Emily could see sunshine streaming through the branches of the trees decorating the ground like a lace tablecloth.

Imagine This! Excerpt:
The little kitty purred, happily resting in the cardboard box. Its soft fur tickled Chance and he giggled. The cardboard box felt curious, wondering where the kids’ powerful imaginations would take him today. He heard their laughter growing louder, and guessed he would find out soon.
“Ready for the continuing adventures of the changing cardboard box?” the boy asked his sister.
“I’m ready if you are.” She said. “You get to use your idea first. Since I went first last time.” The box thought that was pretty nice, and wondered what the boy’s idea was.
“OK!” the boy said, “Hop on board the express train.”
“Where are we going?” The little girl asked.
“You’ll see.” The boy replied.
With that the boy and girl hopped into the box. Chance did his best train impersonation as they rolled out of the station. The carpet around him slowly faded away, and Chance could see train tracks lying in front. He heard chug a chug a chug a chug choo choo, and felt the breeze flowing by. Wherever they were headed would be magical. The cardboard box knew that much. Chance was chugging along his track when the magical door appeared in front of him, just as it had before.
“There it is!” The little girl exclaimed.

Do You Need Help? Excerpt:
Stars twinkled against the crisp blue background of the night sky. The moon was full and bright. Its light sparkled off the rippling waters of the stream. Riley and Rebel watched as the moon’s reflection danced on the surface of the water. They laughed as they noticed their faces wiggling in the rippling surface. Then the raccoons saw another face.
“Hi!”
Rebel and Riley jumped and turned to see the newcomer.
“I’m Rob!” The new raccoon said smiling widely at them.
“Oh Hi, I’m Riley and this is Rebel.” Riley said.
“What brings you to the stream?” Rob asked.
Rebel replied, “We were thinking about getting a snack, and so we figured we should wash up first.”
“That’s a good idea!” Rob said. “Can I join you?”
“Sure,” Rebel said. And the three raccoons bent over the rushing water to wash their paws. One, two, Rebel dipped his front paws into the stream. Three, four, Riley began to wash his paws. Five, Rob dipped his front paw in the stream and allowed the water to flow over it. Rebel and Riley looked at each other and then at Rob. Lots of emotions tumbled through their minds as they realized that Rob only had three paws. The two raccoons felt surprised, sad, and a little nervous at first. “Would you like us to bring you a snack? Rebel asked.
