The Runaway Book Friends

Leo has a big book. The book is very blue. Leo loves his big book. He sits on the rug. He opens the big book. Oh no! Something happens. The letters jump out. The letters run away. They run on the floor. They run out the door. The book is empty now. Leo is very sad. He needs his letters back. Where did they go? Leo looks for his friends.

Leo looks under the rug. He sees a little bug. He sees a green toy. But no letters are there. He looks under the chair. He sees a soft bear. He sees a yellow ball. But no letters are there. Where are the letters hiding? Leo walks to the kitchen. He looks in a bowl. He sees a red apple. He sees a sweet pear. But no letters are there.

Leo looks in the garden. The sun is very bright. The grass is very green. Leo looks in the flowers. He looks in the red flowers. He looks in the blue flowers. He finds the letter A! The A is on a leaf. Hello, little A! Come back to the book. Leo puts A in the book. Now Leo looks for more.

Leo looks by the tree. He sees a brown bird. He sees a grey squirrel. He finds the letter B! The B is on a branch. Hello, little B! Come back to the book. Leo puts B in the book. Leo looks in the grass. He finds the letter C! The C is near a rock. Hello, little C! Come back to the book. Leo is very happy now.

Leo goes back inside. He looks in his toy box. He sees a tall tower. He sees a fast car. He finds the letter D! The D is in the car. Beep beep, little D! Come back to the book. Leo looks in his shoe. He finds the letter E! The E is very cozy. Wake up, little E! Come back to the book.

Leo looks behind the curtain. The curtain is very long. The curtain is very red. Leo finds the letter F! Leo finds the letter G! They are playing tag. Stop running, little friends! Come back to the book. Leo looks on the table. He finds the letter H. He finds the letter I. They are eating crumbs. No more snacks, little friends! Come back to the book.

Leo is very busy now. He looks in the bathtub. There is no water. He finds the letter J. He finds the letter K. They are sliding down. Whee! Go the little letters. Come back to the book. Leo looks in the hall. He finds the letter L. He finds the letter M. They are hiding in boots. Out you go, little friends! Come back to the book.

Leo looks in the pantry. He finds the letter N. He finds the letter O. They are behind the cereal. He finds the letter P. He finds the letter Q. They are near the jam. No more hiding, little friends! Come back to the book. Leo is a good helper. He finds the letter R. He finds the letter S. They are under the sofa. Come out, little friends! Come back to the book.

Leo looks in his pocket. He finds the letter T. He finds the letter U. They were with his keys. He finds the letter V. He finds the letter W. They were in his hat. Jump in, little friends! Come back to the book. Leo looks one more time. He finds the letter X. He finds the letter Y. They are on the clock. Tick tock, little friends! Come back to the book.

Where is the last one? Leo looks very hard. He looks in the mirror. He sees his own nose. He sees his own eyes. He sees the letter Z! The Z is on his head. Z is taking a nap. Wake up, little Z! You are the last one. Leo puts Z in the book. All the letters are home. The book is full now. The book is very happy. Leo is very happy too.

Leo sits on his bed. The bed is very soft. The blanket is very blue. Leo opens the big book. He sees all his friends. A, B, and C are there. X, Y, and Z are there. They are in their spots. They are ready to read. Leo looks at the pages. He smiles at the shapes. Goodnight, little letters. Sleep well in the book. Leo closes the big book. He hugs the big book. It is time for bed. Leo goes to sleep. The book stays with him. All the friends are safe. All the friends are home.
