Ghost Colors






















A book and story by Abigail June Scheidler as dictated to Gramma.

Ghost Colors

There was a mother ghost who had five children. When she went to the grocery store she always bought ice cream and milk which was all her family needed to keep them white.

One day while the mother was out shopping, one of the children found blueberries in the refrigerator. He was very hungry, but when he ate them he turned blue.

Another child drank the Jamba Juice that was in the frig an he turned green just like the juice.

Then the next child found some red potatoes to eat and he turned red.; the next ate cherries and turned very very red – even redder than the other red child!

The next child who was hungry tried lemons and turned yellow; his friend had some oranges and turned orange and the one who ate cheese turned orange too; but the friend who ate crackers turned yellow.

When the mom came home she found that her kids had turned all the colors of the rainbow. She fed them milk and ice cream right away and they all turned white again.

And they lived happily ever after. The End.


Comentary:

“ this is the greatest book ever! Abby

At this time of life Abby's imagination is MUCH more advanced than her ability to draw or write about what she sees in her head. So we have agreed that for future books I will be the scribe and she will do the illustrations and make up the stories. For this first book we ran into trouble fitting all the necessary words on the page. Gramma

Her second book is an "instruction book" for me on how to make dresses with twirl skirts..."so you won't have to work so hard, gramma".
