Once upon a time in a land far away,
Lived a bunch of food that loved to play,
They were the best of friends you see,
Cake, Butter, Cheese, Pizza and Jelly!

One day they met some new friends,
Sandwich, Cookies, Bread and Salad that blends,
Together they laughed and had some fun,
And shared stories in the shining sun.

But there was someone missing from the crew,
A sweet friend that they all knew,
It was Chocolate, their favorite treat,
Who loved to dance to a rhythmic beat.

They searched and searched high and low,
Through fields of flowers and hills of snow,
Until they found Chocolate, in a place so sweet,
That was filled with love and lots to eat.

And so they all danced and sang with glee,
As they enjoyed their treats and company,
And promised to always stick together,
As they had the best day ever!

Reflections

Here are a few questions that kids might enjoy thinking about:

1. Who are the different food characters in the poem?
2. What did the food friends do when they all got together?
3. What was the name of the missing friend, and where did they find him?
4. Why did the food friends promise to stick together forever?
5. If you were a food character in this story, which one would you want to be and why?
