first tomato by rosemary wells

claire ate three spoons of frosted flakes for breakfast. On the way to
school her shoes got wet.
By 11 in the morning, math had taken two hours. Lunch was claires
least favoritelunchables.
At playtime claire was the only kid not able to build a lego tower.
After, the bus was late. She felt cold and mad. claire needed a visit
to jupiter.
Far beyond the moon and stars, twenty million miles from mars spins
jupiter.
And the jupiter queen is janet. janet says to claire, Come in. Heres
the day that should have been.
She hears mom calling when the wind blows, Ive made you first
tomato soup because I love you so.
claires big warm bus comes at last. Out her window claire sees
jupiter and feels much better.
