ONE
Today something amazing is going to happen.
Amazing things always happen in threes.
Day One: On Friday, my teacher, Ms. Hairball, told me my color poem was fantastic.
Day Two: On Saturday, my pet rock, Stoneface, smiled at me. I saw him! I swear!
Today is Sunday. Day Three.
So yes. Today is going to be amazing. Super-fantastic. I start a list on a blank sheet of paper. I love writing lists.
To-Do List for a Super-Fantastic Day

· Write a story
· Paint my bedroom
· Discover a secret treasure
· Travel somewhere no one has ever been
More than writing lists, I love writing stories.
A Story About a Perfect House
BY POLLY DIAMOND
My house is too teeny. My parents say it’s cozy. But it’s NOT. Our house is stuffed full. Our house probably feels like it has eaten too much food!
AND we have a new baby coming any day. When he comes, the house will be even more stuffed.
Mom says Anna and I have to share a room now.
So we have a room for the baby. Yuck.
We need a bigger house. We need lots of rooms. A perfect house would—
I hear a drumroll and a trumpet blast at the front door.
Everyone says I’m imaginative. But I definitely heard a drumroll and a trumpet blast.
Maybe it’s a caterpillar army on the march.
Or a hedgehog band.
Or an armadillo performing a circus trick. Yes, that’s it. An armadillo.
I run to open the door.
It’s WAY BETTER than an armadillo. It’s a package!
I pick it up. It’s hard, thin, and flat. It’s wrapped in pretty polka-dot paper. In the corner a gold stamp reads: Special Delivery from the Writing and Spelling Department. Below that, in letters as bubbly as clouds, it says:
FOR POLLY DIAMOND
My heart skips rope. I rip open the wrapping. Inside is a turquoise leather book. Turquoise! The best! My glasses are turquoise. My sneakers are turquoise. My favorite pen is turquoise. Also, not everyone can spell TURQUOISE. But I can. I love words that are hard to spell.
I open the book.
