  So … have you decided who is going to be Nick and who is going to be Matt? Now, with your friends, read and act out our story in front of the class.

  We have a lot of fun when we go to schools and read our stories. After we finish the kids all clap really loudly. When you’ve finished your play your classmates will do the same. Just remember to look out the window—there might be a talent scout from a television station watching you!

  Reading at home is really important and a lot of fun as well.

  Take our books home and get someone in your family to read them with you . Maybe they can take on a part in the story.

  Remember, reading is a whole lot of fun.

  So, as the frog in the local pond would say, Read-it!

  And remember, Boyz Rule!

  When

  We Were Kids

  Felice “Did you ever go to the beach when you were young?”

  Phil “All the time! Did you?”

  Felice “I used to visit a beach called Squeaky Beach because the sand was so clean and white it would squeak when you walked on it.”

  Phil “Cool. I used to visit a beach called Ow Beach.”

  Felice “You mean Owl Beach?”

  Phil “No, Ow. Actually, its real name was Sunset Beach but everyone called it Ow Beach because the sand was so hot that you’d scream ‘ow! ow! ow!’ with every step you took!”

  What a Laugh!
