Read about the book that inspired this poem in my book review blog.

The Ice Rink

Yesterday was the first day of snow!

There is this place where I often go to in school. It is our tag place. There is a big base attached to the wall and there is a big wall that surrounds the empty spaces.

Today, when I went to that space and said, "I'm going to play tag!" Someone yelled, "Cool! ice skating rink!" and I looked and I saw that the ground was iced. I jumped in it and slid. I danced in the ice and I didn't fall. There is also in the ice rink this slippery spot where my friend Adrian said he fell on his butt.

Russel, the Robot Dog

One day, I bought a robopet. A robopet is a dog but it is also a robot and it can do tricks without us training it to do it. Some of the tricks are roll over or howl. It also has a guard mode that makes him stand guard. If he sees white or something that moves a lot, he will pounce and start yipping like crazy. My scaredy cat is scared of my robopet.
