from a Proud Grandmother

Grandson Akira has been working in class with Jack Prelutski's book Scranimals, in which the animals are scrambled. So he and his friends have been scrambling their animals. Akira's is a Glasshopper ~ and here is the poem that goes with it.

That Fragile Glasshopper

"Do you see the fragile Glasshopper crawling silently around?

Its gleaming transparent beauty not making a sound.

If you encounter a Glasshopper, take good care not to scream,

For if it breaks, the Glasshopper would be just a dream.

(by Akira, age 9)
