Jack's first book



Jack decided he wanted to write a book.. and so he made the title page, drew pictures and lines and told me to document his story completely. So here it is.. word for word - Jack's first book!

"Harmasado - The Dinosaur Book"  ( Not sure what Harmasado means, but it sure sounds cool!) The things in parentheses are his own narratives while telling me the story. 

- By Jack Livingston
-------------------------------------------------


Dinosaur looked like a man.

The dinosaur came to play in the sun. It wasn't very fun because it was a little bit like winter, but he saw the sun far away. There was still grass after the storm came. Somehow a meteor came down and it broke the dinosaurs bones, but it didn't die. And his name was Jacksler!

He wanted to go on a walk but he couldn't, so he went on an adventure in a wheelchair where his mom and dad pushed him around. (This story is make believe).

"What is a snowstorm?" he said to himself.

So his mom and dad were sad because the dinosaur died because of the meteor. They had said, "Watch out! Watch out!"

The dinosaur was actually far far away after he died. He was pretty sad because he liked his parents. He was now lost. He was far away, but his parent's found him. The dinosaur was actually in the forest. 

They were really sad because he wanted to make something, but they didn't have the right things. The dinosaur was also sad. Sad.

Then it rained, and was still snowy so he slipped and fell down a cliff. There was lava down there. He went down a 'lava fall' into a volcano. When it blew up, his parents found him again.

The dinosaur was so so sorry. But then he found a pumpkin.

Jesus changed his heart.

So then the sun came up. It washed all the ice and lava away. (Because remember, this is a fiction story).

When his mom and dad died, his grandparents came to live with him. He asked if they would stay with him until his parents came back to life.

On March 26th, they came back to life. More and more dinosaurs came back to life, and then people also came.

Then something really cool happened... a lot of cool dinosaurs came and made them really happy. Fireworks and the aurora came, it was like a rainbow. And then it got more and more colors from the world.

Then a mark dinosaur came. It was the most dangerous of all the dinosaurs because it could do bad stuff. Even more dangerous than a sharptooth.

THE END

  1. Awesome! Brings me back to when I did the same thing with my now 15 year old son. He would illustrate and then tell me the story for me to write it. He would tell stories faster than I could write them down. I put them all in a binder. I should get them out again to read them. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of them too.
