Dear Ollister Bahbert Pembrick,
I hope you remember me, Barnabas Quiggle, from when you were in Skree. I helped you document several species of dangerous animals (which contributed to the loss of several of your toes, some of my hair, and my left earlobe) that lived in mostly dangerous environments.
Thus begins this remarkable tale of an afternoon walk, a significant encounter, and an (untold) gobbling—a tale brought to our attention by the astute Annie Butler, whose story won the 3rd-5th grade category of our recent Creaturepedia writing contest. Thank you, Annie, and congratulations! Click here to continue reading at the Rabbit Room.
The runner-up was Ben Hardy’s The Spiky Bimble. Well done, Ben!
Next week we will share with you Calen Lotspeich’s Notes Regarding my Encounter with the Elusive Snorthog: the winner of the 6th-8th grade category.
Pembrick’s Creaturepedia (with blank pages to document your own travels!) is available in our site store. May your adventures be grand, and your toes and earlobes intact!
