MooMoo's Great Adventure by Ava Collier

Ava won a writing contest at the Dancing Bear Toy Store!  Here is her story:
Once upon a time Moomoo the plastic cow went on an adventure. She decided it was time to see the world, so she left the playroom and went outside. Moomoo found a wheelbarrow and some large rocks. She put the rocks inside the wheelbarrow and brought them into the barn. After looking at them, she thought they looked like giant red cherries.
She tried to eat them, but they were too hard to bite through! “Ouch!” Then she decided it might be fun to stack them like a snowman, but they wouldn’t stay balanced. They fell down and knocked her over! “Ouchie-woo-woo!” Moomoo got back up and decided the rocks would make great basketballs. But, when she tried to dribble one, it didn’t bounce.
Then Moomoo wondered what was inside the rocks. She took a hammer and hit one of the rocks as hard as she could! After the red dust settled, two pieces laid on the barn floor. The rock halves were hollow, so Moomoo poured her cereal in one and her orange juice in the other. Then she ate breakfast! After breakfast, Moomoo put the rest of the rocks back in the wheelbarrow. She had another wonderful idea. She took them to the lake and strapped them to her arms and legs. “I bet these rocks will make good floaties!” Moomoo jumped into the water, but went straight to the bottom! Moomoo called out, “Help! Help me!” The neighbor’s dog George, heard Moomoo and jumped into the lake. He swam to the bottom and bit through the ropes to set Moomoo free!
Moomoo decides at this point she should leave the rocks alone! George and Moomoo return the rest of the rocks to the field and went home to rest after such an exciting day.

Ava entered a contest offered by a local toy store in honor of the movie TOY STORY III coming out. The prize was 3-d tickets to the movie. Ava submitted a story about a toy and a picture of the toy, as the rules stated. Then two weeks later we got a call that she had won. We went to pick up the tickets and they made a big deal over Ava--it made her smile from ear to ear! The movie was very cute!
