Very Skunky Valentine
By Pamela Dell
Doodlebug & Dandelion

“Wait till you meet our special out-of-town guest!” Boggington Bogsworth the Third called from his family’s screened-in back porch to his friends Doodlebug and Dandelion Pinkley. The siblings were coming through the fence between their families’ backyards, with their cousin Rudyard trailing behind. Dandelion’s pet pygmy owl Kazoo was settled happily in the hood of her sweatshirt. But as they came up the steps and onto the porch, Kazoo screeched long and loud, as if she were excited about something.

“Why special?” Dandelion teased. “Is it your out-of-town girlfriend who’s here for Valentine’s Day?”

“NOT!” Bog replied.

“I bet it is!” Doodlebug joined in with a big fat chortle.

“STOP!” Bog said, even more firmly. He quickly explained that his parents had houseguests for the Valentine’s weekend, old friends they’d gone to school with, plus their son. He turned to a smallish boy sitting in a gigantic porch chair. “Let me introduce—”

“Squirrely!” the boy said, jumping up.

“And me, Hazel,” said Hazel, who they already knew as Bog’s cousin. Hazel didn’t get up from the other humongous chair. She was so short her legs stuck straight out, and her tummy looked like she’d already eaten a ton of Valentine goodies.

“But the best part,” said Bog, “is this little guy!”

Chopsticks

Shay can never hold her chopsticks properly. When she uses them, they crisscross and make an X, and sometimes she cannot quite pick up the slippery pieces of tofu. Her mother laughs.

Matthias and the Dragons

STRIDING QUICKLY ALONG, Matthias glanced uneasily at the black stone cliffs towering beside him. Ahead, a still lake swarmed with dark clouds of midges. Finally, he spied the faraway ocean. Now I know my way back, he thought. I’d better hurry. We’re leaving the inn this afternoon, and Father won’t be too pleased if I’m late.
