and she wasn't afraid of the big black

dog at the end of the block

oh you should see this picture

at dinner sheila rae made believe that

the cherries in her fruit c*ck

were the eyes of dead bears

and she ate five of them

at school sheila rae giggled when the

principal walked by

and when her classmate wendell stole her

jump rope during

recess sheila ray tied him up until the

bell rang

i am very brave sheila ray said

patting herself on the back

sheila rae stepped on every crack in the

sidewalk without fear

when her sister louise said there was a

monster in the closet

sheila ray attacked it and she

rode her bicycle no handed

with her eyes closed yay

yay sheila her friends yelled

clapping their hands

[Applause]

one day sheila rae decided to walk home

from school a new way

louise was afraid to you're too brave

for me

louise said you're always such a scaredy

cat

sheila rae called yeah scaredy

am not whispered louise

sheila ray started off skipping

i am brave she sang i am fearless

she stepped on every crack she walked

backwards with her eyes closed

she growled at stray dogs

[Music]

and bared her teeth at stray cats

and she pretended that the trees were

evil

creatures she climbed up them and broke

their fingers off

snap snap snap sheila ray

walked and walked she turned corners

she crossed streets

it suddenly occurred to sheila ray

that nothing looked

familiar

sheila rae heard frightening noises they

sounded worse than thunder she thought

horrible thoughts

they were worse than anything she had

ever imagined

i am brave sheila rae tried to convince

herself

i am fearless the sounds became more

frightening

the thoughts became more horrible

sheila ray sat down on a rock and cried

[Music]

a voice said louise

sheila rae hugged her sister we're lost

sheila rae said no we're not said louise

i know the way home follow me

louise stepped on every crack

she walked backwards with her eyes

closed

she growled at stray dogs

and bared her teeth at stray cats

and she pretended that the trees were

evil creatures

she jumped up and broke their fingers

off snap snap snap

sheila ray walked quietly behind her

they walked and walked they crossed

streets they turned corners soon

their house could be seen between the

trees

sheila ray grabbed louise and dashed up

the street

when they reached their own yard and the

gate was closed behind them

sheila ray said louise

you are brave you

are fearless we both

are said louise and they walked

backwards into the house with

their eyes closed

and that's the end of that

well it looks like that window sort of

came in handy didn't it kino

well maybe it was easier to see the

pictures

what did you think of sheila ray the

brave well i liked it a lot

i'm brave and fearless too you know even

inside that

big dark castle with the window and the

door closed

hmm sure it was kind of dark in there

though

until you open the window well yeah

jenny's better at dark than i am but i'm

better at climbing trees

well i think some of us are

brave at different things yeah and

at different times like sheila ray and

louise

hi hi lucy oh hi

i'm so glad you could come today no

brother

i can't see oh it's teresa and her

daughter

tiana and it's fazzy and layla

you know maybe if you were to put a

window on this other side

oh wait where's keno oh i'm inside this

box

i mean castle wow a castle

you know what i have a story right here

that has a castle in it

oh you do well come on lucy

look it's called the rat and the tiger

and it's by

keiko kaza oh let's hear it

it has a castle in it yeah it sure does

cause this is a castle you know not a

fort

even though it has a window windows are

okay for forts but not for

castles kino had an argument with his

friend

jenny about whether or not this is a

fort or a castle

and whether it should have a window well

it wasn't just an argument

it was a big argument oh i'm sorry to

hear that

well listen to this story and i think

you might find a way

of getting along better with your friend

oh really

you mean it'll show jenny that this is a

castle and not a fort

and then it shouldn't have this window

well not quite but just listen to the

story and i think you'll see what i mean

okay the rat and the tiger

by keiko kaza

i'm a rat just a tiny little rat

tiger is a big tough fellow

we are best friends we used to have a

little problem though

whenever we played cowboys tiger was

always the good guy

and i was the bad guy

tiger said the good guy always wins in

the

end what could i say i'm just a tiny

little rat whenever

tiger and i shared a donut tiger always

cut it

so that his piece was bigger than mine

tiger said it's nice to share

isn't it what could i say i'm just

a tiny little rat

whenever tiger saw a flower he liked he

just

pointed and expected me to get it for

him

tiger said isn't nature beautiful

what could i say i'm just a tiny

little rat

one day i built a castle the biggest one

that i had

ever made look tiger i shouted proudly

tiger said nice job rat

and then he jumped up into the air and

he

kicked my castle to pieces

[Music]

that's it tiger i screamed you're not my

friend anymore

i may be a tiny little rat but you

are a big mean bully

good boy

i was mad and i was

sad but most of all

i was scared i had never yelled at

tiger like that before when tiger found

me

my heart almost stopped i thought that

he might kick me

just like he had kicked my castle go

away

tiger i shouted i'm not afraid of you

leave me alone but tiger

didn't come to kick me he had fixed my

castle

and he wanted me to see it so i did

but i told him i'm still

not your friend

then tiger asked me if i wanted to play

the good cowboy for a change

so i did

but i told him i'm still

not your friend next

tiger asked me if i wanted to cut our

donut for once

so i did

but i told him i'm still

not your friend

finally tiger asked me if i

wanted a flower so i

pointed to one and tiger bravely went to

pick it for me

maybe i told him just

maybe i'll be your friend again

and tiger smiled

ever since that day we have gotten along

just fine we take

turns at everything

[Music]

and we split our donuts right down the

middle

we do have a little problem though

a new kid on the block

oh no the rhino's bigger than both of

them

and the rat and the tiger are gonna have

to teach a rhinoceros how to share

and be fair yeah oh hey you know

i just thought of a great rhyme it's

fair

to share what do you think that's great

kino

well that's what sharing is all about

being fair to everybody

hmm that's right hey kids what do you

think of this story

now let's see who should go first who

wants to go first who wants to go first

okay what did you did you like the story

it was great it was great oh good what

did you think of the story

it was great oh good she liked it too

how about you

good and what what do you think it was

about

um sharing yes that's just what it was

about

do you have problems like that at home

sharing

fuzzy lena yeah do you do you share at

home

yeah yeah do you ever have these

problems where

sometimes when i find the candy my

sister

i give her um a big piece and she tells

me she wants the whole thing so i

don't know then i have to get a little

piece and she

takes the whole thing now you tell your

story

you tell your side of that story yeah

when he cuts a piece um i get the

a little when he gets the big one oh my

goodness

me and him get the same thing oh

you know i was just thinking

well maybe maybe jenny and i could take

turns

too oh that's great you see

you learn that because if a tiger could

do it you can do it too right

yeah yeah we can have a castle one day

and a fort the next day

and if you think and think there are

lots of things that you could do with

that box

and you and jenny could take turns

playing your favorites

well yeah yeah it could be a house too

yeah that's right but what kind of house

i bet there are as many different ways

of playing with that box as there are

kinds of houses

listen to this it's called a house is a

house for me

it's written by marianne hoberman with

pictures by betty fraser

a hill is a house for ann

and

a hole is a house for a mole or a

house and a house is a house for me

a web is a house for a

spider a bird built its nest in a

[Music]

tree there's nothing so snug as a

bug in a rug and a house is a house for

me

a coop that's a house for a chicken

chicken

a stye that's a house for a salad

a fold that's where sheep all gather to

sleep

a barn that's a house for a

cow cow right it's also of course

a house for

a kennel's a house for a dog

a dog is a house for a flea but when a

dog strays a fleas sometimes stays and

then it may

move in on me

a house for a mule is a shed

[Music]

a castle's a house for a duchess

a bed bug beds down in a

a bed that's right because it's so smart

mosquitoes like mud holes or puddles

[Music]

whales need an ocean or sea a fish

or may make do with a lake

but a house is a house me

a shell is a dwelling for shellfish for

oysters and lobsters and clams

each snail has a shell and each turtle

as well

but not any lions or lambs lions live

out in the open monkeys live up in a

tree hippos live down in a river

now what do you know about me

an igloo's a houseboard eskimo a

teepee's a house for a cree

a pueblo's a house for a hopi and a

wigwam may hold a mohi

a garage is a house for a car

a car or a truck a hangar's a house for

a plane

a dock or a slip is a house for

a ship a ship a ship yeah and a terminal

is housed for a two drink

a train a husk is a house for a cornier

a pot is a place for pee

a nut shell's a hut for a hickory nut

but what is a shelter

for me a glove is a house for

a hand

that's right you know a stocking's a

house for a knee a shoe or a boot is a

house for a

shoe and a house

is a house for me

a box is a house for a tea bag a tea pot

a house for some tea if you pour me a

cup and i

drink it all up then the tea house will

turn into me

cartons are houses for crackers castles

are houses for

kings the more that i think about houses

the more things are houses for things

and if you get started in thinking i

think you will find it is true

that the more that you think about

houses for things the more things are

houses to you

barrels are houses for pickles pickles

and bottles are houses for jam a pot

is a spot for potatoes

potatoes and a sandwiches home for some

ham the cookie jar is home to the

cookies the bread box is home to the

bread my coat is a house for my body

my hat is a house for my

head perhaps i have started far-fetching

perhaps i am stretching things some

a mirror's a house for reflections a

throat is a house for

hum but once you get started in thinking

you think

and you think and you think how pockets

are houses for pennies

and pens can be houses for ink

how peaches are houses for peach pits

and sometimes our houses for

worms how trash cans are houses for

garbage

and garbage makes houses for germs

and envelopes earmuffs and eggshells and

bathrobes and baskets and bins

and rag bags and rubbers and roasters

and tablecloths

toasters and tins and once you get

started in thinking this way it seems

that whatever you see

is either a house or it lives in a house

and a house is a house for me

a book is a house for a story a rose is

a house for a smell

my head is a house for a secret

a secret i never will tell

a flowers at home in a garden a donkey's

at home in a stall

each creature that's known has a house

of its own

and the earth is a house for

us oh oh

[Music]

things to discover

something that

i noticed about that book lucy what
