Poppy Green

Poppy Green can talk to animals! Unfortunately, they never talk back to her. So she started writing in order to imagine what they might say and do when humans aren’t watching. Poppy lives on the edge of the woods in Connecticut, where her backyard is often a playground for all kinds of wildlife: birds, rabbits, squirrels, voles, skunks, deer, and the occasional wild turkey.

chapter 1

A Bite of a Biscuit

Sophie Mouse rolled over in bed and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was her newest acorn, sitting on her bedside table.

Sophie smiled. The acorn was smooth, shiny, and orange-red. She had found it the day before.

Sophie got up and peered underneath her bed. She pulled out a box. It held her acorn collection. There were brown ones and green ones. There were round ones and pointy ones. Some had acorn caps and some did not. No two were exactly alike. Sophie placed her new acorn inside the box.

But then Sophie had a thought. No, a vision: all of her acorns, lined up neatly on a shelf. An acorn display!

As an artist, Sophie loved the idea.

Sophie looked at the shelves on her wall. The lowest one was cluttered with paint tins, library books, and papers.

Sophie went to work. She cleaned out the empty paint tins. She organized the rest in her art box. She put the library books in her backpack so she’d remember to return them. She sorted papers.

Soon Sophie had a clean, empty shelf. A blank canvas! Onto it, she emptied her acorn collection.

Sophie arranged and rearranged. First by color, then by size. Then she tried mixing the acorns up a bit. Yes, she liked that arrangement best.
