A squirrel in a tree,
Looked down at me and said with glee,
"Have you seen my favorite shoe?
I think I left it here with you!"

But I was busy with my meal,
A plate of spaghetti, oh so real,
And on my scooter I did ride,
With a spoon in hand, by my side.

Then suddenly, a spider did appear,
And I must admit, I felt some fear,
But with my trusty spoon in hand,
I shooed it off, and took a stand.

So if you ever see a squirrel,
Or a spider that makes you hurl,
Just remember, you have a spoon,
And a scooter to take you to the moon!

Reflections

1. Who are the main characters in the poem and what are they doing?
2. How did the child use the spoon in the poem?
3. What happened to the squirrel's shoe and did they find it?
4. What did the child feel when they saw the spider and how did they react?
5. How does the child's adventure with the squirrel and the spider make you feel?
