Josie's Bestiary--In Her Own Words

                                                                                      

This is a Dingola Poopfloot. It is very rare but there are a lot of them. It is one-half horse, one-half dog, one-half alligator. one-half Meema, and one-half imagination. The Meema half says NONONONO.

His poop is blue and long and gets stuck to his butt. His mouth is on his belly, and he has a long purple tongue. He has a red body with black stripes and a green tummy. He was born in the Dinosaur Age.

This (below) is a Kaptootie Tututu. It eats plants and is not rare. It was born in the Dinosaur Age also. It has wings and looks like a peacock but different. It is very colorful.

It used to be extinct, but one was still alive and gave birth to many more and they are REAL.

I AM NOT KIDDING!!!

                                                                                 

The one is called a (yelling) BLEEEEEEE! He is very giant. He eats brown tree trunks. He is pretty weird and don't blame me for it. He looks a lot like a turtle. He is half turtle, half ladybug, half kitty, and half elephant.

I spread out all my art all over the living room. It was my gallery so Grumpy could admire my work.

Here is the last one. It is a Rainbow Floobie-Doobie. He is so colorful. That is why he is called rainbow. He eats anything messy--like trash. 

His tail has eight feathers. He has a long tongue, as long as a grownup's arm. He is the rainbow-est dinosaur on earth. 

What is that brown stuff? says Meema.

His poop, I tell her.

Why do you want to show that? she says.

So you'll know what it looks like, I say. It looks like a cup cake and it's edible. It tastes like chocolate and vanilla.

Oh, says Meema.
