Thomas's Sheep and the Spectacular Science Project

Steven L. Layne

Sinopse

The first week in his new school, Thomas spends a lot of time thinking--about making new friends, being late to class, and getting his homework done. When his science teacher, Mr. Lunar, assigns each student a project on the solar system, Thomas begins to spend his time thinking and reading about the solar system. He knows that, in order to show what an excellent student he is, his will have to be a very special science project. While Thomas works on his project, he imagines vivid adventures for his sheep friends, who came to the rescue in his last academic escapade, Thomas's Sheep and the Great Geography Test. The sheep go to space camp, visit all the planets, and return just in time for the unveiling of what everyone agrees is the most spectacular science project ever.

Fiasol and the little lion robbery

Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir

Once upon a time Fíasól was on the go. It started with Mum and sister Bidda going to Copenhagen.
Just the two of them. Pippa was a bit fed up about that, and Fíasól was furious. But then, totally out of the blue, Fíasól and Pippa, together with Grandma Gógó, got to join them.
In Denmark they met Auntie Glóa and her boy, Gutti. They visited Great-aunt Lóló, and stayed with Big Stína, a belly dancer with hardly any teeth. Fíasól lost her beanie in the Tivoli park and Grandma was tricked into having a ride on the Odin Express. After an extremely enjoyable trip they then returned to Iceland.
But of course that’s not the whole story. During the trip some crazy things happened that the family never talks about – Fíasól because she is so embarrassed about it; Grandma, Mum and Glóa because they’re so shocked by what they did; and Pippa, Gutti and Bidda because they still think it was so stupid. The time has definitely come to tell this story.
In order to understand how it all happened, it would be a good idea to check out the travel agreement that they all signed up to, back in Stína’s kitchen.
THE GRAND TRAVEL AGREEMENT
Binding contract relating to recreational trips
During this trip it is totally strictly forbidden to do anything that someone under the age of ten finds boring. Quite the opposite. It is actually every traveller’s duty to do ONLY, JUST AND ABSOLUTELY everything that anyone aged ten or under likes doing best when travelling. Whosoever infringes this Grand Travel Agreement must immediately cease travelling and return home.
This rule to be applied within reason.
Signed: Fíasól, Mum, Gutti, Pippa, Bidda, Grandma Gógó, Auntie Glóa
