When Damien and I go to
the creek, we have a
marvelous time.
We race soda cans
across the creek.
We pretend the cans are
boats floating along the
creek water. I always
pick the blue cans and
Damien picks the red
ones.

We also practice skipping
rocks. Both Damien and I
choose the flat rocks
because they are good
rocks for skipping.

We pretend the rocks are
airplanes when they are
in the air that crash into
the water and surface
again.
We race soda cans
across the creek.
One time Damien
skipped a rock then
times.
One time Damien skipped a
rock ten times.
One fun summer’s day,
we found a broken guitar
at the creek.
We race soda cans
across the creek.
It looked fun to play,
but had no strings.
I told Damien that I wished
the strings were still there, so I
could play it like a rock star.

I like going to the creek
with Damien. I would go
to the creek with him
every day if I could.
We race soda cans
across the creek.

A Friend Fun Frenzy was written by Mark Rittman, Jr. (MJ)
for his 3rd grade language arts class. To encourage him to
write more fun stories, his mother, Danielle Rittman, drafted
illustrations for his book and had the completed work
published. This was Danielle’s first time tackling such a task,
and the finished product really brings MJ’s wonderful story to
life.
